Placing and Aligning your Gates

It is now time to place the devices in position in the field for testing. The SYNCRO app will tell you where to place each specific device in your test. For example, in the test setup shown below, the Sensor lit red is the start Sensor, green the 5 metre split, and finally the blue sensor is the 10 metre and final split in this test.

Your Ground Sensor (smaller sized, single beam Sensor) is a ground-based device which comes with a magnetic base plate. Attach this magnetic base plate to your Sensor, and your Reflector before placing in the field to help ensure your device sits level on the ground. 

Place each Duo/Neo gate (taller sized, dual beam Sensor) and its Reflector in their supplied tripods. 

Place your device Reflectors opposite your Sensors in position in the field, creating a lane for the Athlete to pass through while testing. 

On the larger Duo and Neo Sensors, aim the alignment laser at the target of the opposing Reflector. You will also hear a beep from the device when it sees its Reflector. 

When not aligned with their Reflector, Sensors will flash their lights. Once aligned, the lights will be lit solid for 5 seconds, after which they will do a single flash every 10 seconds as an ‘alive’ message.
