Pocket Radar Football 12 User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Radar and I'm ready to help you understand how to use it for measuring long snap speed. The document includes setup instructions, important tips for accurate readings, and common causes of inaccurate readings. I can answer your questions about aiming the device, necessary travel distance of the ball or checking for interference.
  • What is the minimum distance the ball should travel?
    How to ensure the ball is tracked by the radar?
    How to 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.

1 to 2 yards is too close
The net is too close to the ball release point
The radar needs to track the ball in flight
long enough to locate the ball prior to it
hitting the net.
