CAUTION Take precautions to prevent the sensor from being struck by a ball. For example, place the sensor behind a screen or erect a non-metallic deflector in front of the sensor for protection. Choose a position for the sensor. It must be set back between 20 and 60 ft. behind the home plate, and laterally offset within the corresponding minimum and maximum bounds illustrated in the adjacent figure. The lateral offset is needed to avoid players blocking the sensor’s view of the ball. The sensor can be mounted on a vertical or horizontal pole structure using the pole mount bracket or on a heavy duty tripod (not supplied). The sensor must aim at the top of the pitcher’s mound. The height of the sensor must be between 6 and 16 feet depending on its distance behind the home plate, as shown in the diagram. NOTE Take care that the sensor does not block spectators’ view, if applicable.
The pole mount bracket can be strapped to a pole of at least 1½ inch diameter. The bracket is factory configured for mounting against a vertical pole. The mounting can be changed for a horizontal pole – see below. Screw the clamping screws (1) and (2) partly out (turning anticlockwise). Place the mount (3) against the chosen pole (6) at a suitable height from where the sensor will have a clear view of the pitcher and batter. Use the cambuckle straps (4) and (5) to tie the mount to the pole. Orientate the bracket so that it is approximately in the direction of the Pitcher’s Mound against the pole. Pull the straps tight enough around the pole to hold the bracket in position against the pole. Tighten the clamping screws (1) and (2) lightly by turning them clockwise using the Allen key (included). Raise the Strike Sensor (7) and hook the slots (11) in the Mounting Plate over the Strike Plate hooks (12). If needed, apply down pressure to push the sensor unit completely down to engage slots securely on the hooks. Without disturbing the sensor direction, fasten the clamping screws (1) and (2) firmly to lock the mount securely to the pole. Now pivot the Sensor Unit on the pole mount to point the sensor face towards the pitcher’s mound, using your best estimate of direction. It may be necessary to loosen the pivot screw (8) slightly to allow movement. When the pointing direction is good, firmly tighten the pivot screw (8). The mounting is now complete and the Unit can be connected for use.
Remove the pivot screw (8) and washer to free the Strike Plate (9) from the rear mount (3). Rotate the rear mount (3) by 90 degrees, and attach the Strike Plate (9) again using the removed pivot screw (8) and washer in the rotated position. The mount can now be attached to a horizontal structure. 90 ͦ
FlightScope Strike can be powered from a rechargeable external 12 V DC battery, or from a mains-powered AC adapter (both included). Connect the supplied AC adapter (21) to the Strike unit (20). Connect the AC adapter to a wall socket using the supplied mains power cord (22). Switch the Strike unit on with the Power switch (23). NOTE: Make sure the battery has sufficient charge before using, so that operation can be uninterrupted. Connect the battery (24) to the Strike unit (20) using the supplied battery cable (25). Place the battery in the compartment (26) behind the Strike unit. Switch the Strike unit on with the Power switch (23). The supplied battery is a 20,000 mAH capacity rechargeable Li-Ion technology battery pack. The original manufacturer’s specifications and instructions apply. The original battery charger/adapter is included.
