NOTE –a short time after turning a PT unit on, it may begin to emit a constant high pitched buzzer sound. This

buzzer is designed to alert you when the unit is not aligned correctly with the reflector during use. During setup you

may find this very annoying! If you press any of the buttons under the unit, the buzzer will stop for 15 seconds to

allow you to perform your setup functions without the buzzer sounding.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW: HOW DOES PT WORK?

Each SMARTSPEED PT gate contains two in-built radio devices –one for communicating between the gates (a

technology known as Zigbee), and one for communicating between the master gate, and your mobile device

(Bluetooth).

You will set up one of your PT units to be the master gate, which will connect via Bluetooth to your mobile device.

This gate will then command your other gates during the session. The master gate must have its ID set to 0 to enable

the Bluetooth module.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that your always place your master gate close to where you will be standing to run the

session, as the range of the Bluetooth connection is between 10-20m (depending on your device). The master gate

can be any of the gates –it does not have to be at the start or finish.

DON’T Worry! If you walk out of range, the gates will still collect the data for the current athlete, and your mobile

device will give you a warning message. Once you walk back into range, the results will come to your device, and the

next person will be able to start.

Once you set up and align your units, a beam will be created between the timing unit and the reflector. We call this a

timing gate. When someone passes through this beam, we say that the gate has been broken.

The first time you break the timing gate beam, the starting point/time will be set and the subsequent beam breaks

will then list the split times. A split time is the time between beam breaks on one or more units.

WHAT IS SMARTSPEED ONLINE?

SMARTSPEED Online is a free cloud hosted service available to all PT customers, powered by a simplified version of

our industry leading SMARTABASE Athlete Management System. You can register as many accounts as you like, for

example if you have multiple people sharing one mobile device and wish to separate your records and settings.

SMARTSPEED Online is synchronized with the PT Mobile App on your mobile device whenever you connect to the

internet, and allows you to:

1. Create new team lists to download and use on your mobile device

2. View your uploaded results where you may export them to an Excel or a PDF file

3. Create Preset drills with your favorite settings and names and use them to your mobile device

4. Register your device for warranty (automatic the first time you connect)

Please register your free SMARTSPEED Online account by using the registration page in the application, accessed by

clicking “REGISTER HERE” at the Smartspeed home screen.

First Time Use

To get started with using SMARTSPEED PT, you will need the following –

1. Your PT system

2. A supported Apple or Android, Bluetooth enabled device, connected to the internet

3. A computer that is connected to the internet

STEP 1 –DOWNLOAD THE APP

Download the SMARTSPEED App for your device from either the iOS App Store (Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad 4th and

5th Gen) or Google Play (Android mobile devices).

STEP 2 –REGISTER YOUR ACCOUNT

You MUST register your account before you will be able to start using your system.

To register, launch the PT App on your mobile device, click Register, and complete the form. You will need to be

connected to the internet to do this.

STEP 3 –MAKE YOUR FIRST TEAM LIST (RECOMMENDED)

If you do not have an internet connection and computer with you then you can skip this step, but it is highly

recommended to get the proper PT experience.

To create your first team List, skip to the SMARTSPEED Online section of this manual on page 15.

If you don’t want to do this right now, we have pre-installed a team you can use to get started.

STEP 4 - SET UP YOUR MASTER GATE

NOTE –when you turn on a PT unit, it will start to sound a high pitched buzzer. This buzzer is designed to alert you

when the unit is not aligned correctly with the reflector during use. During setup you may find this very annoying! If

you press any of the buttons under the unit, the buzzer will stop for 15 seconds to allow you to perform your setup

functions without the buzzer sounding.

1. Turn on ONLY ONE of your timing units to start with. This will be set as your master gate (you can change this

later, but it may be easier to take note that this unit is the master gate for future use without modifying the

system).

2. Check that the ID of the unit is set to 0. This means the unit will operate in Master gate mode. If the unit is

not on ID 0, press and hold the ID button for 3 seconds until the 8 digit display turns on and the units makes

3 short audio beeps. Then continue to press the ID button until the ID 0 is shown. Once the ID is correct, wait

until the display stops flashing, and the ID is now set.

3. On the PT unit, press and hold the Bluetooth LED/Button until it starts to flash green. This means it is now

discoverable by your mobile device and will remain in discoverable mode for 3 minutes.

4. a) Connecting (iOS/Apple)

On your Mobile device, go to the Bluetooth settings area and you will see a device in the list starting with

“SS-PT”. The other number in the list will correspond to the serial number of the unit, which you can see on

the sticker under the unit. Click on this device to pair with the gate. If successful, the green Bluetooth

LED/Button on the PT unit will turn to solid Blue.

Open the SMARTSPEED PT app, and press the connection icon in the top left corner. Once connected this

icon will become invisible. Note: If you are connected to your master gate but the Bluetooth button is still

visible, try pressing the Bluetooth button to check the connection.

Bluetooth NOT connected

Bluetooth connected

b) Connecting (Android)

Open the Smartspeed PT application and press the settings icon. From here, open Bluetooth Setup. Ensuring

that the master gate is still in discoverable mode, press the “Start Discovery” button. The gate should appear

under the “Discovered Devices” heading. Please note that while the phone is searching for devices, you will

not be able to press the connect button. Once the master gate is found, you may press “Stop Discovery” or

wait for the scan period to finish. Press the “Connect” button and wait for the connection process to

complete.

Note: Once you have connected to your master gate, the device details will be saved. This means that the

next time you use the application, all you need to do is turn your master gate on, and press the connect

button like the one found on the home screen, and the application will attempt a connection to the master

gate. Note that with this method, you do not need to make the device discoverable.

STEP 3 - CONFIGURE THE REST OF YOUR GATES

Once your Master Gate is connected,

1. Turn on the rest of your gates and check that they are on the same CHANNEL as the Master gate (don’t

worry about the IDs, they will all be set to zero).

2. Launch the SMARTSPEED PT App and press START and on the next page the system will scan all of your gates

and set their IDs automatically. After this you will notice that each gate has a different ID number when you

look at the ID display button on the underside of the unit.

Your units are now ready to start testing! NOTE –you can actually do this step after setting up your gates if you are

sure they are all on the same channel.

Side Note: Channels and ID Explained

As the wireless system PT units need to be identified in the wireless environment, so that they can be communicated

with free of interference from other wireless objects in the same area. This is especially important when you have

multiple PT systems operating in the same vicinity and want to be able to sue them at the same time without them

interfering.

Channel refers to the radio channel or sub-frequency that a unit is set to. For each test station, the units in that test

station need to all be set to the same channel, and any other system in the area all need to be set to different

channels.

ID refers to the unique identification number of a unit WITHIN a channel. So if you have multiple units in a test

station, they all need to be set to a unique ID number, but all be on the same channel.

If a unit is set to ID 0, it will act as a master gate and can be paired with your mobile device.

If a unit is set to ID 1 to 9, it will act as a standard gate and cannot be paired with your mobile device. It will instead

be controlled by the Master gate.

At any stage you can change which one of your gates is the Master by changing its ID to 0 and repeating the Master

gate setup procedure above.

STEP 4 –SET UP YOUR GATES FOR TESTING

When set up correctly each gate should look like this –

TRIPOD ASSEMBLY

1. Loosen tripod knob and pull legs away from stem.

2. Push down on knob assembly until supports are horizontal.

3. Extend Tripod to Desired height. We recommend extending one segment of the tripod to full extension

4. Connect reflectors and remote data units and ensure tripod neck is firmly tightened.

ATTACHING THE TIMING GATE

1. Line up the tripod connection with the bayonet the top of the tripod.

2. Press down, into the tripod, and twist the timing unit into a locked position

3. When ready, you may turn the unit on by pressing the power button, verify the unit turns on by viewing the

power LED on the back of the unit

ALIGNING YOUR TIMING GATES

1. Place the reflector tripod opposite the PT unit. The Reflector can be up to 5 meters away from the PT timing

unit.

2. Stand behind the PT Timing unit. Hold the unit with one hand, and the tripod neck with the other hand to

hold the tripod in place

3. Turn the PT unit on by pressing the power button

4. Adjust the beam until the red alignment light on the back of the unit is on. This can be done by aiming the

photocell and directional laser at the center of the reflector. Once aligned, the laser will stay illuminated for

an additional 5 seconds before turning off.

5. In windy environments, ensure the unit is remains aligned when wobbling the unit slightly side to side.

STEP 5 –REGISTER YOUR ACCOUNT

Please register your free account on SMARTSPEED Online before you start

testing. This will be explained further later in this manual. Unless you plan to

be sharing the mobile device used for the system, leave the “Remember Me”

box ticked and your device will stay logged in in the future.

STEP 6 –RUN YOUR SESSION

1. Press START SESSION on the Home Screen and proceed to the SESSION SETUP screen

2. Choose your options and team for the session. If you haven’t created any of your own teams yet using

SMARTSPEED Online, you can use the Default team

3. Once you have configured your settings, press START to start testing

4. When you have completed your testing, press STOP to end the session and view the results.

STEP 7 –PACK UP AND CHARGING

To turn off your PT timing units, press and hold the power button on each unit until all LEDs turn off.

We recommend that you recharge your PT units prior to every session. To charge the units, connect them to the USB

charger provided. When charging the red AND green charge lights under the unit will illuminate. When fully charged,

only the GREEN charge light will remain.

Detailed Software Overview

THE HOME SCREEN

Home screen functions include:

User registration and selection: One of the primary uses of the home page is log into your account. You should

always double check your account is logged in prior to testing to ensure your teams and results are synchronized

with SMARTSPEED Online. Additionally, here you may access the registration page, or log out so you may log into a

different account. Saved accounts will be accessible from the switch account dropdown.

Settings and Help: Opening the advanced settings menu will allow the user to set up more advanced options as well

as access help tutorials and more information about PT.

Bluetooth Connection Status: This icon demonstrates the connectivity status of Bluetooth. If you can see this icon, it

means Bluetooth is not currently connected.

Message Board: this is where we will send you messages on help topics, upgrades, new features and accessories

Results: you can view past results and check if they have all been uploaded to SMARTSPEED Online

RUNNING A SESSION

1. Click the “START” button. This will take you to the Session Setup screen.

2. The system will scan all of your gates and report the number of gates detected, with their battery levels. If

the scan returns an unexpected number of gates, press the scan button again. If the problem persists,

consult the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual.

3. Configure your settings for the session. These are explained below.

4. You are now ready to start your testing session by pressing “Start”.

5. In each session, the first time someone runs through the gates, the system will remember the movement

pattern for that session, so make sure it is done properly. If the person makes a mistake, press “STOP” to end

the session and start the session again.

6. Continue to run people through the drill until you are finished. Then press STOP and the session will be

closed, and if you are connected to the internet, your results will be automatically uploaded to SMARTSPEED

Online.

SESSION SETUP SCREEN

The following session options are available on the configuration page:

UNITS

Even if you have scanned more gates than you need for a drill, you don’t need to actually switch the excess gates off.

Instead, you can select the exact number of gates you need for the session and the other gates will be ignored once

the session starts.

DRILL

There are two timing modes available –

1. One-way: The athlete must run from the start gate, and run through the remaining gates in order from start

to finish, breaking each gate only once. This is what you would use for a standard speed test such as a 20m

straight sprint or an agility test where the start and finish are in different places.

2. Free: The Free Timing mode means you can use any test logic and athletes can run through the gates in

whichever order you like. Each gate may be broken multiple times and it can be different for different gates.

If you select Free timing mode, you will also need to select how many splits you want to collect, or if you

select the infinite symbol (∞) then the system will simply continue to record splits for each athlete until you

press FINISH.

MODE

There are 3 running modes available for use:

1. Manual Mode (default): In manual mode you will be able to choose from a list which athlete is running next

and press GO. In between athletes, you can leave the gates and it won’t matter if people walk through them

by mistake. The app will by default move to the next athlete in the list but you will still need to press GO to

activate the gates.

2. Auto Mode: Similar to Manual Mode but without the GO button. Once one athlete is finished, the App will

by default move to the next athlete in the list, and if anyone breaks the start gate, that drill has started. You

can still change the order by selecting people from the list as long as the next athlete hasn’t broken the start

gate. Use this mode if you don’t have people walking around that might break your gates by accident.

3. RFID: SMARTSPEED PT is fully compatible with our SMARTSCAN RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

system. By connecting an RFID reader to the start gate, your system will run completely automatically. When

an athlete is ready to run, they simply swipe their wrist band at the start gate and go. In between athletes, it

won’t matter if people walk through the gates.

TEAM

This is where you can choose your team for the session from your list of teams created on the SMARTSPEED Online

website.

NAME

This will be the name given to your session on the SMARTSPEED Online website. The name will be created

automatically based on the session settings, but you can edit it if you wish.

Once you have confirmed your settings, press START to start the timing session.

SESSION RESULTS PAGE

The Session results page displays who you are testing and the results collected so far during your session. In the

timing page you can:

1. See who is currently running, and who is due to run next (if using manual or auto mode)

2. See the most recent result

3. See the previous results in the session. You can also sort by any column by clicking the header row of the

table

4. Pause the session by licking the PAUSE button. Use this is you want to pause your testing session and not

worry about people walking through the gates or starting without you!

5. Select who is running next (manual or auto mode) from the list by tapping on the athlete selection icon

6. If an athlete starts a test but cannot finish it, you can press the DNF button, and the system will reset. The

DNF button will be displayed instead of the stop button when an athlete run is in progress.

7. Once you have finished testing, press the STOP button to end the session and your results will be uploaded

to SMARTSPED online.
