SmartSpeed Dash - System Hardware
Hardware Components
The SmartSpeed Dash system includes 1 one timing gate and consists of the following hardware components.
- 1 x Dash timing unit

Multiple SmartSpeed Dash systems can be combined to provide users with additional timing gates.
| Timing Unit |
|   Timing Unit The SmartSpeed Dash timing unit includes a speaker that provides an audible signal to athletes and coaches. The timing unit also include two light beams:
- Photocell beam - this is what is used with the reflector to detect objects and has a wider, weaker appearance.
- Laser aiming beam - is purely an aid in aligning the timing unit with a reflector, as it is significantly more visible and pointed than the photocell beam.
Turning on When the timing unit is turned on, the unit will produce a loud audible beep and project a laser beam.
The laser beam must be aligned with an adjacent reflector to stop the beeping.
TIP: Ensure a reflector is in line with the timing unit prior to turning the timing unit on. Once you turn the timing unit on, align the unit by placing your hand on the tripod neck.
Command unit Any Dash timing unit can be assigned by a user to act as the command unit for the SmartSpeed Dash System(s). The command unit uses two in-built devices to:
- IEEE 802.15.4 - to communicate between timing units; and
- Bluetooth - to communicate to a mobile device (SmartSpeed app)
A SmartSpeed Dash command unit can communicate with up to 9 timing units.
TIP: Keep the command unit within 10-20m of your mobile device for optimal performance.
