Installation Instructions

WARNING
Always inspect your equipment prior to shooting an arrow. Be-
fore you take a shot, know your target and what lies beyond your
target for safety purposes.
You are responsible for understanding and complying with any
applicable regulations for shooting a bow and arrow.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important information.
Removing the sensor will damage the strain gauges and render
them useless. BE SURE TO THOUROUGHLY READ INSTRUC-
TIONS AND WATCH VIDEO BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOUNT
YOUR SENSOR.
Mounting the sensor card incorrectly will VOID your warranty
on the sensor. If you damage your sensor you can purchase
a replacement.
Installation of Sensor
(THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL PART OF INSTALLING
SWEETSPOT. IF THE SENSOR IS NOT ADHERED CORRECTLY
THE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE RELIABLE.) PLEASE WATCH THE
YOUTUBE VIDEO ON SECURING YOUR SWEETSPOT SENSOR.
YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE AT THIS!
Step 1) Pick a mounting location –
IT MUST BE on the front of the bow,
facing the target and be at and large
enough for the sensor to t comfortably.
On most bows, this will be the grip.
For some, it may be higher on the riser
between the shelf and the sight. (See
Fig. 1)
Step 2) Clean the area thoroughly –
FIG. 1
Flat surface
areas

with glue. Tip: more glue is better then
not enough glue. (See Fig. 4).
Step 5) Starting at the bottom where
the tape meets the edge of the green
PC board, rotate the sensor towards
the bow making sure to keep it straight.
Make sure not to let the sensor slide.
Press and hold the sensor down evenly and rmly for 15
seconds. Be careful when you pull your ngers off not to let
glue stick to them and pull the sensor off. Push the tape down
completely around the sensor.
Step 6) Use electrical tape to go around the sensor and the riser.
Lightly at rst to be sure the sensor does not slide. Once you
have two full wraps around the sensor, pull the tape snug going
around the sensor from bottom to top to the USB connector.
where the sensor will be mounted with
an alcohol pad.
Step 3) Apply a piece of scotch tape to
the top of the sensor hanging over so
that it can be stuck straight and square
on the front of the bow (see Fig. 2).
Push the tape down to act as a hinge so
the sensor can fold back away from the
bow (to allow glue to be applied to the
sensors in step 3) (See Fig. 3).
Step 4) After double checking the sensor is square and does not
protrude over the edge of the riser. Fold the sensor back so the
4 copper strain gauges are facing up towards you. Apply a dot of
glue on each copper pad (dot should be the same size as the
copper pad). Cover the green pc board above the strain gauge

This forces out any air bubbles and
keeps the sensor secure while it cures
(this tape can be removed in 24hrs
after the glue has completely cured)
(see Fig. 4).
Once you reach the USB connector cut
off the excess tape with scissors. This
will apply even pressure to the sensor.
Leave the electrical tape on and allow
the glue to cure for a MINIMUM of 4
hours (see Fig. 5).
Step 7) After 24 hours you can plug in the micro USB cable from
the SweetSpot being careful to have it turned the correct way.
It does not take much force to plug in the cable. If it is difcult,
double-check that it is lined up correctly.
Step 8) If you wish to remove the electrical tape, wait 24 hours.
It is recommended to leave the tape on to protect the sensor. It
is also highly recommended, after the cable is plugged into the
sensor, to wrap the sensor with grip tape for extra insulation so
temperature will not have an adverse affect on it.
Step 9) Route the cable, being sure to avoid any moving parts
(cable slide, arrow, arrow rest, sight) up to the where you will
mount the SweetSpot, securing it with supplied zip ties. There
should be a zip tie 1-2 inches from the sensor to secure the
cable to the bow and prevent the cable from being snagged.
Mounting the SweetSpot, LED card and
plugging in cables
• Use the supplied Velcro strips to secure the SweetSpot

controller to your sight rod or bow riser. Be sure the cable
from the sensor will reach the sensor port without damaging
the wire.
• Once the SweetSpot is secured to the bow, plug the other
end of the micro USB cable (from the sensor) into to the
port labeled (sensor) on the SweetSpot. It is important to
have strain relief loop on all cables before you plug them into
the SweetSpot. This will prevent excess vibration from dam-
aging the sensor and LED ports when the bow is red. (We
are not responsible for any misuse or incorrect installation
resulting in damaged products or injuries to one’s self
or a bystander.)
• Take your time to determine a location to mount the LED
card. Remember you want to be able to see this at full draw to
reap the benets of the system (this is personal preference,
but most prefer to mount the LED card inside the scope
housing. Some scope setups allow you to mount the LED
card directly behind the level, which will brighten the level
green or red and helps to see your bubble in dark conditions.
Depending on your eld of view through your peep sight, you
may be able to mount the LED card on top of your scope
housing). Be sure the location you choose will not affect the
ight of your arrow.
• Once you have selected a safe and efcient location that
you can see at full draw, clean the surface with an alcohol
prep pad.
• Peel off the double-sided tape from the LED card and press
the LED card down carefully, so as not to break the traces.
You can form the LED card to t the radius of your scope. Be
sure to only bend the card slightly and only in one direction.
If you bend it in one direction it CANNOT bend the other
direction without damaging the card. If the LED card is bent

repeatedly, it will break the traces and the LED’s will not work.
If you choose to use the lighted pin option when using a ber
optic to aim, route the wires around the scope housing to
your ber. If you are not using a ber optic to aim, simply un-
plug the white PicoBlade connector carefully, using tweezers
or holding each end, and set aside for later use.

• Plug in the micro USB connector from the LED card you
just installed into the port on the SweetSpot labeled (LED)
and secure the cable with supplied zip ties. Be sure to put a
strain relief loop in the usb cord before plugging it in. This will
require a zip tie or tape a few inches back from the connector
so that the cable is secure and then loose for 2 inches to the
port. This allows vibration to be soaked up before it is directed
into the port.
Using the SweetSpot
• Once everything is mounted, secured and plugged into the
correct ports on the SweetSpot. BE SURE to check and make
sure no wires interfere with any moving parts and will not inter-
fere with the arrow leaving the bow. (Pressure Perfect Products
