3.4 –Detailed Installation
Read this manual before installing DodgeAttack.
Installation Guidelines:
Complete the Site Survey form prior to delivery and/or installation.
Send a completed Installation Checklist after any installation to Rugged Interactive.
A typical installation should take 2 people about 4 hours.
No obstructions or protrusions in the installation area: e.g. skirting boards, pipes, cables and wiring
conduits.
Avoid trapped and/or pinched cables.
Use good practice when running data cables to and from products, external pods and sensors.
Support long cables at least every 50 cm and provide adequate strain relief for connection points.
To prevent electric shock, keep all electric components away from contact with water.
IMPORTANT: Take anti-static precautions.
Structure:
Mount onto timber or steel framework.
The targets feature four mounting points.
The targets feature hanging cables to connect back to the HUB/score box via supplied cable.
The units must be mounted to a construction capable of supporting their weight and gameplay. Do
not fix to plasterboard faced partition, unsupported portal infills and stud walls. (Uneven walls and
structures make alignment and fitting very difficult.)
If the targets are to be mounted to a flat Plywood wall, a hole to accommodate the sensor plate and
cables must be cut.
For retro-fits, the posts to support the DodgeAttack targets can typically be secured to the upright
legs of the trampoline framework.
Fixings:
The manufacturer will supply fixings.
Use Rawl Plugs (plastic wall plugs) if mounted to a solid block or brick wall.
All fixings must be tight and secure.
Remember to fit the supplied hole bungs.

Operating Environment:
Keep out of direct sunlight.
