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.
