SmartSpeed Dash - Setup Command Unit

The command timing unit operates as the command centre for the SmartSpeed Dash system. It uses two in-built radio devices:

  • IEEE 802.15.4  – to communicate between additional timing units; and
  • Bluetooth – to communicate to a mobile device (SmartSpeed app) 
To setup a command timing unit:
  • Position a reflector opposite a timing unit
  • Turn the timing unit on
Note: When a timing unit is turned on, it will produce a high-pitched beep sound. This beep is designed to alert users when the unit is not aligned correctly with a reflector. 

To stop the beep:

Aim the laser beam from the timing unit onto the reflector until the red alignment light is on and the unit stops beeping.

Now, check the ID of the timing unit is set to 0. When the ID is set to 0, the unit will operate as the command timing unit.
To set the ID:
  1. Press and hold the ID button for 3 seconds until the 8-digit display turns on and makes 3 short audio beeps.
  2. Continue to press the ID button until 0 is shown as the ID.
Next, connect the timing unit to an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth.
To connect the timing unit to an iOS or Android device:
Press down the Bluetooth LED button on the timing unit until it flashes green. This will enable the unit to be discovered by a mobile device and will remain discoverable for 3 minutes.
