Installation Layout

It is important to check the layout of your simulator environment before installation. Ideally, the ceiling should be 9.5 to 10.5 feet tall, and the center of the hitting mat should be placed 10 to 12 feet from the screen and 4 feet away from the Falcon. There should be room to swing for both a left- handed and right-handed golfer.

The Falcon has two hitting zones, the club zone and the ball only zone. The club zone collects data on both the ball and club, the ball only zone collects ball data. Hitting zone dimensions for the club zone (dark blue) and ball only zone (light blue) shown in the figure above.

Connecting Data and Power Supply

1. Run/secure the ethernet cable from the location where the computer will be to the ceiling location where the Falcon will be mounted. Connect one end of the cable to the ethernet port on the Falcon (see figures) and the other end to your network router or computer.
2. Run the power cord from a power source to the overhead location where the Falcon will be mounted. Plug one end of the power cord into the back of the Falcon (see figures) and the other end into a GFCI-protected outlet or GFCI-protected power strip.
