Setting up a Trackman B1 indoor facility correctly is essential for ensuring accurate data and a smooth user experience. Below are five key factors to keep in mind—clear, practical, and professional.

Five Key Things to Remember

1: Optimal Radar Placement & Distance

• Position the B1 unit 7–8 feet behind the tee on level ground.
• Allow 10–13 feet (3–4 meters) of ball flight from tee to screen; greater distance improves tracking accuracy.

2: Precise Calibration Procedures

Use the Trackman Baseball app to calibrate the system by marking:

• Top left of home plate
• Top right of home plate
• Bottom point of home plate

Then confirm alignment with the center line toward second base (green check mark in the app).

Be mindful of potential interference:

• Physical interference: Metal objects, fences, or nearby structures can cause signal reflections and lead to inaccurate or duplicated readings.
• Electromagnetic interference: Nearby electronic devices may disrupt the signal, resulting in inconsistent or missing data.

3: Lighting and Environment Management

• Maintain consistent, non-reflective lighting conditions.
• Avoid direct sunlight and flickering lights, as they can interfere with tracking.

Also ensure:

• Proper ventilation
• Approximately 1 foot of space behind the impact screen for safety

4: Hardware Requirements

Use a durable impact net or screen designed for high-speed baseballs.

Ensure your system is up to date:

• Trackman iPad app version 1.64 or newer
• B1 unit firmware version 1.63 or newer

Keeping software current helps prevent lag and ensures smooth data rendering.

5: Routine Maintenance & System Checks

Reboot the B1 unit daily and regularly verify alignment with the target line.
Even small shifts in positioning can impact data accuracy.
