Smart speed PRO Overview
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each Smart speed PRO gate contains an in-built radio device for wireless
communication with a SmartHUB through IEEE 802.15.4.
You will set up your SmartHUB unit, which will connect via Bluetooth to your
mobile device. This will then command your PRO gates during the session.
It is very important that you always place your SmartHUB 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).
Once you set up and align your PRO 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 (start time) will be set and
the subsequent beam breaks will then list the split times. A split time is a
time between beam breaks on one or more units.
