The ES15 Range Launch Monitor is a Doppler radar bay divider specifically designed for driving
ranges and hitting bays. This launch monitor displays distance, club speed, smash factor, spin
rate and ball speed of each shot hit on dual LCDs. (NOTE: launch angle is displayed on the
free app). These statistics remain on the screens until the next shot is hit.
This versatile device may be installed on grass, artificial turf, hitting mats, and wooden or
concrete flooring. Each ES15 features Bluetooth which allows connection of the golfer’s smart
device to the ES15. The free ES15 app records and stores each shot hit during a range
session, allowing the golfer to review his progress.
The ES15 Range is powered by a rechargeable battery which provides up to 140 hours of use.
There is an automatic shut off feature which powers the unit off after 8 minutes of idle time.
This feature helps to save the battery life.

REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB
An optional feature of the ES15 is the remote control key
fob that allows you to enable or disable power to the unit
remotely. The power button on the ES15 is still necessary
to activate the unit.
The power button on the unit will not work until the key fob
“A” button is pressed. The ES15 may be powered off by
either the remote control key fob or the power button on
the unit.
However, when installing or replacing the battery, the
remote control key fob MUST BE USED FIRST to enable
power for ES15.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED A REMOTE
CONTROL KEY FOB WITH YOUR ES15, YOU MUST
PRESS THE “A” BUTTON ON THE FOB TO ENGAGE THE
ELECTRONICS IN THE UNIT, THEN PRESS THE POWER
BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE ES15. ALWAYS
FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WHEN INSERTING OR
CHANGING THE BATTERY.

Uses of the Remote Control Key Fob
Although an optional feature, the remote control key fob enhances the use of the ES15 in a
number of ways:
1. The range of the remote control allows the manager to enable or disable the ES15 without
having to physically touch the unit. If an instructor is working with a student and another
golfer finishes his session on an adjacent ES15, the instructor can quickly check to see if the
unit was powered off by pressing the “B” button on the key fob. This will save the life of the
battery.
2. If a facility chooses to add a fee for the use of the ES15, the range manager will have the
ability to enable or disable the unit remotely.
3. If a time limit is placed on the use of the ES15, the range manager is able to remotely enable
or disable at the appropriate time.
4. The remote control key fob provides the facility manager the means to control the use of the
ES15 easily and with little effort.

INSTALLATION OF THE ES15
Grass
If your Club’s Driving Range has a grass surface, simply
place the ES15 on the hitting area. When deep divots
occur, simply pick up the unit and adjust its position.
OPTION: Ernest Sports offers additional ten (10) pound
weights that may be attached to the stabilizing feet. The
weights have a pin that inserts in the exposed hole of the
foot. If your area experiences strong winds, the added
ten (10) to forty (40) pounds available would insure the
stability of your ES15.
The ES15 Range launch monitor may be used in a variety of settings: natural grass,
artificial turf, hitting mats, concrete or wooden floors. The unit may be used in both indoor
and outdoor settings, under covered bays or open ranges.

Artificial Turf
The ES15 may also be used on a hitting mat or artificial
turf. The optional weights that affix to the feet of the unit
can be used if extra stability is needed.
Wooden Floors or Cement
For permanent installation of the ES15, simply secure the
unit onto the wooden floor or cement by attaching
permanent anchors into the holes found on each
stabilizing foot.
