FlightScope is designed to operate reliably with a minimum of maintenance
for many years. This section tells you how to care for your FlightScope to
ensure that you achieve this.
Basic Care
1. DIRT AND GREASE: Keep the sensor clean. Clean occasionally with a
damp cloth using a light detergent if necessary. WARNING: As a safety
precaution, always switch electrical supplies off when working or
maintaining electronic equipment.
2. TRANSPORTATION: Place your FlightScope in its original shipping
carton or case, to prevent it from damage when transported in a vehicle
or aircraft. Contact your FlightScope distributor for advice on transport
packaging options in case your original packaging is not available.
3. ALIGNMENT: The alignment of the sensor is important to ensure good
results.
4. AREA: The performance of the system may be affected if used where
the ground of floor is not reasonably level. There must also be no
obstructions between the sensor and the tee.
5. PARAMETERS: Do not change the sensor Parameters that are
accessible under the Advanced Settings menu, unless instructed by a
FlightScope Support engineer. If parameters are changed, the function
and performance of the system may be compromised.
6. RAIN: Although the sensor is sealed and will not allow rain and dust to
enter, the mains power supply connection may be unsafe if wet. When it
rains, switch the system off and take it undercover or cover the sensor
and especially power cables and AC adapter with a waterproof covers as
a precaution.
7. MECHANICAL SHOCK: The sensor contains sensitive microelectronic
circuits that may be damaged or altered by hard impacts. Therefore,
take care not to drop the sensor, hit it with a club or ball, or cause any
other impact to it if possible.
8. CABLE DAMAGE: Check your power supply and communications cables
occasionally for damage or wear. Repair or if necessary replace
damaged or worn cables.
9. CABLE HANDLING: Take care not to pull, twist or kink cables when
handling, to prevent possible damage and ensure long life. When
disconnecting cables, coil the cables loosely before packing.
Replacement cables are available from your FlightScope distributor.
