All electronics connected to the 3D Motion Plate must have
ground. The power grid should have adequate grounding.
We recommend using surge protectors to prevent damage
to your electronics.
Important! To ensure accurate data readings the 3D Motion
Plate must be level and have all 4 feet in contact with the oor.
Make sure the plate is level before mounting the Balance Plate.
It’s important to account for the height of the Balance Plate when
adjusting the Force Plate to make the install ush with the turf.
