This guide outlines the key environmental factors that can impact the performance and accuracy of the Trackman B1 portable unit, helping ensure proper setup, troubleshooting, and data reliability. 

Wind

• Can alter ball flight and trajectory
• May affect carry distance and spin readings
• Strong or crosswinds can reduce tracking stability

Temperature

• Hot air → ball travels farther
• Cold air → ball travels shorter
• Extreme heat may cause device overheating

Humidity

• Higher humidity can slightly increase carry distance
• Moisture may impact ball surface and radar consistency

Rain/Moisture

• Can interfere with radar signal and tracking accuracy
• Water droplets may create “noise” in readings
• Risk of hardware damage if not properly protected

Sunlight/Heat Exposure

• May affect camera-assisted tracking
• Prolonged exposure can overheat the unit  

Fog/Dust/Air Particles

• Can weaken radar signal return
• May reduce tracking accuracy over longer distances

Surroundings/Physical Interference

• Metal objects, fences, or structures can cause signal reflections
• May result in inaccurate or duplicated readings

Electromagnetic Interference

• Nearby electronic devices can disrupt signal
• May lead to inconsistent or missing data

Unit Placement & Stability

• Uneven surfaces or movement affect calibration
• Incorrect alignment can cause missed or inaccurate tracking
