Instructions – Competition

For the competition events, please follow the instructions:

1. Setup preparation

  • If you have a BASEplate, place it on a solid and flat ground. Fix it with the attached screws. Place the PATpad into the BASEplate with arrow pointing to the position of the Display. 
  • If you have a protection Lining, you can attach the PATpad using velcro tape.
  • Place the Display on a stand and tilt it slighlty back to optimize the visibility.

2. Connection PATpad/Display/Mobile

  • Establish the connection between the PATpad and the Display. You can use 2 Displays in parallel.
  • Additionally to that, a staff/judge person can connect to the PATpad with Android mobile device. In the app create an Event where the whole History of results will be stored. This can be used as a back-up monitoring of the results.

3. Important

  • It is not possible to switch-off the PATpad (by pressing 0) when connected to the Display.
  • If you want to replace the PATpad, reset and re-establish the connection to the Display:
    • Display reset: press and hold  button for 10 seconds.
    • PATpad reset: press and hold white zero dot for 10 seconds.
