Pocket Radar Football Long Snap Speed User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed this user manual for the Radar device, which provides instructions for accurate long snap speed measurement. The document emphasizes proper radar placement, aiming, and techniques to avoid inaccurate readings, as well ensuring safety. I'm ready to assist with any questions you might have about using the device!
  • How should the radar be placed for accurate readings?
    What is the minimum travel distance for accurate readings?
    How can I check for interference?
Radar guns focus radio waves down into
a narrow beam, like a flashlight beam.
Aim carefully down the beam to get good
readings.
Check for interference by holding down
the radar main button and scanning the
area when there are no balls in flight.
Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent
property damage or injury.
Minimum travel distance 8 to 15 yards
Have the radar placed low, aimed very
carefully. In our example, we are only
using the universal mount. We are not
using a tripod.
The ball launch angle should travel in the
radar beam. This can be done by carefully
aiming the radar toward the ball release
point.
Ensure the ball travels a minimum of 5
yards. This allows the ball to be in flight
long enough for the radar to find it moving
in a straight line.
Only count the speeds where the ball
remains inside the radar beam.

A ball in flight slows down very rapidly due to
air resistance. The radar beam must be
aimed carefully to get the top speed.
Radar guns focus radio waves down into a
narrow beam, like a flashlight beam. Aim
carefully down the beam to get good
readings.
Check for interference by holding down the
radar main button and scanning the area
when there are no balls in flight.
Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent
property damage or injury.
The radar is too high and not allowing the ball
to travel down the radar beam.
The radar is not aimed directly at the ball
release point.
The ball gets into the path of the radar beam
after it has slowed down.
