Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 7 of 22 PureFlight™ Power Management The PureFlight™ is shipped from the factory with a full charge on the internal battery. When you initially turn the power on, the READY message will appear for a few seconds. The display will then switch to a battery level indicator message for a few seconds before returning to READY. The PureFlight™ will display battery status approximately every 8 minutes during operation. There are three possible displays for the battery level depending on the remaining charge: Charge Life Display Up to 6 hours remaining BATT OK 15-30 minutes remaining LOW BATT 0 minutes remaining Flashes “RECHARGE” and automatically shuts off To recharge the PureFlight™ internal battery: 1. Plug the power supply into a surge-protected AC outlet. 2. Plug the power supply’s connector into the “Power” port on the back of the unit. 3. Ensure the PureFlight™ is powered off. 4. Charge the PureFlight™ for a full 4 to 6 hours when the battery gauge displays LOW BATT or RECHARGE. The PureFlight™ can also be operated on AC power when the power supply is plugged into the unit and the unit is powered on. ***ATTENTION*** The unit does not charge the internal batteries while it is operating under AC power. If you wish to recharge the unit after AC use, leave the unit plugged in and turn the power off. The PureFlight™ will then recharge normally. A fully charged battery should last approximately 6 hours in MODE 1 with a microphone (use of microphone in MODE 1 is recommended), 3 to 4 hours in MODE 1 without a microphone or 3 to 4 hours of MODE 2 operation. Once your PureFlight™ is charged, it is ready for operation and can be used for either normal or high trajectory shots in either MODE 1 or MODE 2. CAUTION: If using the PureFlight™ indoors where static electricity may be present you should place a mouse pad or other rubber based mat underneath the unit.
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 8 of 22 Operating in MODE 1 and MODE 2 The PureFlight™ has two different MODES of operation: MODE 1 and MODE 2. For each mode, there are differences in (a) the handle position, (b) how the unit is set up, and (c) how the data is displayed. Handle Positions for MODE 1 and MODE 2 Using the combination Carry Handle/Stand, the PureFlight™ can be used to monitor shots for all clubs from the driver through wedges in both MODE 1 and MODE 2. For MODE 1, pull the stand down to its second stop position, where the handle is perpendicular to the bottom of unit. The bottom of the stand is now underneath the unit and the white face is pointed in the air (see picture at right). Use this position for all clubs in MODE 1. For MODE 2 operation, hold the unit with keypad facing up and push the handle towards the front of the unit a few inches until you feel the handle engage in the next stop position. The bottom of the stand is now slightly in front of the white face of unit (see picture). Use this position for all clubs in MODE 2. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more detail as questions arise. MODE 1 MODE 2
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 9 of 22 The following are descriptions of MODE 1 and MODE 2 operation and the variables that can be controlled by the user. MODE 1 – Distance Only Operation PureFlight™ set up for MODE 1: 1. Position the stand under the unit in the high position. 2. Insert the microphone directly into the opening on the back panel. Push all the way in and gently tug on it to ensure it is locked into place. If the microphone is not tight, pull it out and re-insert it making sure it is tightly seated in the receptacle. 3. In MODE 1, the PureFlight™ unit is placed as follows: • Directly alongside and even with the ball (see above picture) • No more than 6” from the golf ball. If the unit is further away, the readings may be short. If the unit needs to be positioned 7” – 12” away from the ball, use the Increase Distance Readings function (see keypad instructions) and set to 110% • White face of the unit pointed downrange, along the golf ball flight line • Swivel the microphone around to point the grey circular pad toward the ball or a few inches behind the ball 4. After pressing the POWER key, the unit will display “READY” and will be in MODE 1 (the default). 5. The PureFlight™ unit is now ready for MODE 1 (Distance Only) use. Unit Golfer Down Range Golf Ball Unit is 6” - 8” from ball
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 10 of 22 Notes on MODE 1 Setup: a. With the microphone in place, the PureFlight™ waits to “hear” the club impact the ball before the radar is activated. This is a power-saving feature designed to save battery charge. b. Without the microphone, the PureFlight™ unit’s radar is always activated. It will take measurements and display results just as if the microphone were present but will discharge the internal battery in approximately 3 to 4 hours. Operating the unit without the microphone increases the possibly of background noise triggering false readings. If you are getting erroneous readings, insert the microphone. User Settings in MODE 1: • “Yards” is Carry Distance (distance the ball flies in the air before hitting the ground on its first bounce) ---OR--- • “YardsR” is Carry + Estimated Roll (total distance the ball travels in flight plus a constant amount of roll). The estimated roll constant for drivers will be more than for wedges.
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 11 of 22 MODE 2 – All Parameters (Ball Velocity, Club Head Speed, Distance, Power Transfer Ratio %) PureFlight™ set up for MODE 2: 1. Position the stand under the unit in the low position. 2. Insert the microphone into the opening at the end of the “curly” MODE 2 cable. Push the microphone all the way in and tug on it a little to ensure it is locked into place. If not, pull the microphone out and re-insert it making sure it is tightly seated in the cable. 3. Plug the cable connector into the back panel. Push all the way in and tug on it a little to ensure it is locked into place. If not, pull the cable out and re-insert it making sure it is tightly seated in the PureFlight™ unit. Unit GolferApproximately 42”- 45” from front of unit to microphone Golf Ball Microphone & cable is 6”-8” from ball
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 12 of 22 4. The PureFlight™ unit is placed as follows (see picture on prior page): • About 42” directly behind ball for drivers, 34” directly behind the ball for mid-irons, 28” directly behind the ball for short irons and wedges • White panel pointed downrange, straight down the target line • Mode 2 microphone cable stretched out toward ball • End of Microphone 6” from the ball pointed at or slightly behind the ball (you may wish to tape it or use tee to hold in place). 5. The PureFlight™ units default mode of operation is MODE 1. Therefore, you must change from MODE 1 to MODE 2 after powering up the unit. After pressing the POWER key, the unit will display “READY” and it is in MODE 1. a. To set to MODE 2: b. Press the MODE key – the unit will display “MODE 1” c. Press DOWN ARROW – the unit displays “MODE 2” d. Press MODE key again to lock in the setting – unit displays “READY” 6. The PureFlight™ unit is now ready for MODE 2 use. Notes on MODE 2 Setup: a. In MODE 2, the PureFlight™ has an active radar signal at all times. It waits to “hear” the club impact the ball and then reports club head speed measured just before impact. Because the radar in MODE 2 is always on, battery charge life is less than in MODE 1 (when the microphone is plugged in). b. The microphone is moisture sensitive, so avoid placing on wet grass. c. PureFlight™ returns to MODE 1 when power is turned off. Data Displayed in MODE 2: Ball flight measurements are displayed in the following order: • Carry distance (distance the ball flies in the air before hitting the ground (yrds)) ---OR--- • Carry + Roll distance (total distance the ball travels in flight plus a constant amount of roll (yrdsR)) • Club head speed in miles per hour (CMPH) • Ball velocity in miles per hour (BMPH) • Power Transfer Ratio % (PTR%), also known as Smash Factor, is an indicator of the transfer of energy from the club to the ball. The relationship is calculated as follows. PTR% = (Ball Velocity / Club Head Speed) x 100%
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 13 of 22 Monitoring Short-Distance Shots in WEDGE Mode The PureFlight™ can be used to monitor shots from 20 yards to 420 yards in carry distance. When the unit is powered up, the default mode is for longer (greater than 75 yards) shots. If the user desires to monitor short shots between 20 and 75 yards, enter WEDGE selection mode by pressing the MODE and UP ARROW keys simultaneously. The unit will respond by flashing “IRON/DRV” in the display window. This means the unit is currently set for longer shots hit with irons and drivers. To enter WEDGE mode, press the UP ARROW key. The display will now flash “WEDGE”. Then, to lock in the selection, press the MODE and UP ARROW keys simultaneously. The unit will stop flashing and return to the READY prompt. To go back to monitoring longer shots, either turn the unit off and back on, which resets to IRON/DRV mode, or re-enter WEDGE selection by pressing the MODE and UP ARROW simultaneously. The unit will now respond with “WEDGE” flashing in the display window. Use the UP ARROW to select IRON/DRV mode and lock in the selection by pressing MODE and UP ARROW keys simultaneously. NOTE: While there are many types and shapes of short game shots, the PureFlight™ distance is based on an internal model with a given set of flight trajectories, club speeds, and ball speeds. This model was developed from the results of extensive testing with robotic equipment and professional golfers. For this reason, short shots that are significantly different in shape and trajectory from the internal model (such as low punch shots or fast, high shots) may result in actual yardages that are different from the displayed distance readings on the PureFlight™. Customized Settings for the PureFlight™ Some PureFlight™ functions can be customized by the user, depending on specific requirements and how the unit is being used. These variables include the following: UNITS key - Unit of Measure: used to set unit of measure to yards, meters, or feet. RESET TIME key: used to control duration of display of each measurement, from 0 to 60 seconds CLUB key: when not being used in MEMORY mode, CLUB key used to control scaling factor for distance measurements, up to 150%. Scaling the distance measurement is typically used by event planners, and amusement company vendors to display greater shot distances for their customers. Scaling is not recommended to improve your game.
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 14 of 22 Customizing the PureFlight™ for Personal Use The PureFlight ball flight monitor is calibrated at the factory for general use by golfers. Built in to this calibration are standard values for local conditions such as: • Elevation Standard: Sea Level • Wind Standard: No Wind • Temperature Standard: 70 deg. F • Barometric Pressure Standard: 31.9 inches mercury • Relative Humidity Standard: 70% Specific conditions and situations may vary from the standard settings used for this general purpose calibration. In these cases, the CLUB key is useful to increase (or decrease) the distances reported by the device by a specified percentage or scaling factor. For example, a golfer practicing at high elevation notices the ball carries significantly further than the same shot hit at sea level (see Effect of Altitude table). The distances displayed by the PureFlight with standard settings may be below the actual distance for this situation. In this case, the golfer may choose to increase the displayed distance by a corresponding amount, using the CLUB key. The actual amount of the percent scaling factor can be determined using various methods, from very informal (make an educated guess) to very rigorous (measure actual shot distance using a tape or surveyor’s wheel). One method Zelocity has used in our own calibration efforts on driving ranges has been to move to an open area of the tee line, a safe distance away from other golfers’ shots. Using our surveyor’s wheel (an alternative would be to pace off the distance), we measure out to our desired hitting distances and mark every 10 yards using landscaper’s flags (an alternative might be empty range ball buckets). To see carry distance to the first bounce, it is also helpful to have someone downrange for better visibility of the exact spot the ball lands. Then we hit shots and note each reading on the monitor and the corresponding distance measured on the range. Some distance variation, plus or minus a small percentage, may be expected due to variation in golf balls, wind, etc. This exercise, however, is intended to find significant variation in one direction, such as each shot displaying five yards too short on a consistent basis. Then, we translate this yardage to a percentage and use the CLUB key to increase the distance by this percentage. In this example, a 3% increase in the reported distance requires a CLUB setting of 103%. Effect of Altitude Launch Velocity = 150 mph; Launch Angle = 15 deg; Spin Rate = 3000 RPM Elevation (Feet) Carry Yards Scaling Factor 0 249 Standard 1000 253 + 1.5% 2000 257 + 3.0% 3000 261 + 4.5% 4000 264 + 6.0% 5000 268 + 7.5% 6000 272 + 9.0%
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 15 of 22 For reference, the following tables indicate corresponding effects of wind and temperature on flight distance. Storing Shot Data in the PureFlight™ The PureFlight™ is a microprocessor based unit with an internal memory that can store up to 1000 shots, saved in up to 99 sessions. Examples of how a session or set of sessions can be defined include the following: • Golfer A hits 10 shots each with 8 different clubs for averages by club on a given day and saves as Session 1. Then Golfer A hits 10 shots with each of the same clubs three months later and saves as Session 8 (for example). Golfer A then compares the two sets of averages to determine any changes in their game. • Golfer B hits six shots with Driver X in Session 1, then hits six shots with Driver Y and saves in Session 2 and compares the two sets of averages to judge comparative performance. • Golfer C hits six shots with each of their clubs in a single session, uploads the data to the PureFlight™ Practice program, and prints out average distance by club on a “bag tag” to carry with them on the course. Effect of Wind Launch Velocity = 150 mph; Launch Angle = 15 deg; Spin Rate = 3000 RPM Wind Speed (MPH) Carry Yards Scaling Factor - 5 (Head wind) 239 - 4% -10 (Head wind) 257 - 8% 0 (No wind) 249 Standard +5 (Tail wind) 261 + 4% +10 (Tail wind) 264 + 8% Effect of Temperature Launch Velocity = 150 mph; Launch Angle = 15 deg; Spin Rate = 3000 RPM Temperature (degrees F) Carry Yards Scaling Factor 40 239 -4% 50 242 -3% 60 244 - 2% 70 246 - 1% 80 249 Standard 90 251 +1% 100 253 +2%

Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 17 of 22 Troubleshooting Problem Resolution For most common problems, execute a PureFlight™ self-test first.  Run the “Full Unit Self-Test” ¾ Insert the microphone or microphone/cable combination. Use “Down Arrow” and “MODE” at the same time to begin (follow displayed instructions). “SELF TST” will be displayed, followed by “TST Y or N”. Select “Up Arrow” for “Y” or “Down Arrow” for “N”. ¾ Selecting “Y”, the unit will then go through two tests and display “PASSED” or “FAILED” at each step. Tests for radar and microphone functionality during which you will need to blow into the microphone or clap when prompted.  If the unit passes both self-tests, continue on to the more specific problems below.  If the unit fails the microphone test when you have the microphone and cable inserted, try testing without the cable. This will indicate whether the cable or the microphone itself is defective.  If either test fails, contact our Support department at 888.zelocity or support@zelocity.com. Unit won’t power on.  Make sure you firmly press the power button.  Make sure the battery is charged. ¾ Turn the unit off to recharge the battery. Plug in the power supply to the product and into a surge protected AC outlet or power strip. Power surges can affect the integrity of the battery. Use a surge protected power strip if you have power surges in your area. Charge the battery for 6 to 8 hours to fully charge.  Try powering on with the power supply plugged in. ¾ If this works, your battery, the charging circuit, or the unit itself may be damaged.  Contact our Support department at 888.zelocity or support@zelocity.com.
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 18 of 22 Immediately after powering on, the unit displays “RECHARGE” a few seconds and then powers off.  The battery may need to be recharged.  Try powering on with the power supply plugged in. ¾ If PureFlight™ still displays “RECHARGE” right away, your power supply or the connector on the unit may be damaged. (see “I think my power supply is bad” below).  Contact our Support department at 888.zelocity or support@zelocity.com. Unit displays “RECHARGE” after a few minutes. Charge doesn’t last for the expected duration.  Make sure the battery is fully charged.  Make sure you have the microphone plugged firmly into all connections. If the microphone is not plugged in or is loose, the radar will be on continuously and will discharge the battery more rapidly (usually 3 to 4 hours or less). I think my power supply is bad.  To test this you need another working PureFlight™ or another working power supply.  If you don’t have access to another unit/power supply, you need to contact our Support department at 888.zelocity or support@zelocity.com.  Try the suspected “bad” power supply on another PureFlight™, see if it will charge. If it does, try the other “good” power supply on the PureFlight™ that had problems. ¾ If both power supplies work on one unit, but not the other, your battery, the charging circuit, or the PureFlight™ unit itself may be damaged. ¾ If both units work with only the “good” power supply, the “bad” power supply needs to be replaced.  Contact our Support department at 888.zelocity or support@zelocity.com.
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 19 of 22 Not getting any readings from shots using woods, long and medium lofted irons. Unit displays READY but will not register golf shots.  Make sure the unit is positioned properly for the mode (1 or 2) you are using. ¾ For MODE 1, position the unit to the side of the tee, 6 inches from the ball with the white front panel of the unit pointing downrange, parallel with the target line. If you are using the microphone with MODE 1 (recommended) the microphone should be plugged directly into the back panel of the unit and swiveled to point directly at the ball or a few inches behind the ball. ¾ For MODE 2, plug the microphone into the microphone extension cable and plug the other end of the cable into the back panel of the unit. The unit should be placed behind the ball along its intended flight path as indicated (see PureFlight™ Set Up for MODE 2 instructions), with the Mode 2 microphone cable stretched towards the ball. The microphone should be placed 6 inches to the side of the ball, pointed at the ball. (We recommend anchoring the microphone with tape or golf tees.)  Make sure you have selected the proper mode. ¾ Press the MODE key, then "Down Arrow" or “Up Arrow” to select the desired mode, then MODE again.  Make sure the microphone is plugged in fully and is positioned properly. Unexpected readings appear for shots hit severely left or right of the target line.  This can happen if the ball flight path and club head path after impact are in approximately the same plane. ¾ Realign either the golfer’s target line or the unit so that the white face of the PureFlight™ is aimed along the flight path the ball is initially traveling. Unexpected or inaccurate readings for shots hit normally.  Ensure that the unit is set up properly: ¾ Check the handle position matches the mode you are using ¾ Check that WEDGE mode is ON for shots 75 yds or less ¾ Check that WEDGE mode if OFF for shots over 75 yards ¾ Check that the microphone is in ¾ If hitting into a net, check that the ball has at least 12 feet of free flight before being caught in the net
Golf Performance Monitors PureFlight™ Operating Guide Version 1.2 www.zelocity.com 1-888-ZELOCITY 20 of 22 Not getting readings from short irons or wedge shots. Unit displays READY but no measurements reported.  Place the unit in WEDGE mode by simultaneously pressing the MODE and UP ARROW keys and selecting “WEDGE” (see Monitoring Short-Distance Shots in WEDGE mode).  Try placing the ball on a tee to ensure solid contact with the clubface, to provide a loud enough signal to trigger the unit. The microphone may not always “hear” shots with the shorter clubs. A “lie board” can also be used to increase the sound when the ball is struck.  Try using the unit in MODE 1 without the microphone attached (note that you may see unexpected readings if there is electronic noise in the area).  Make sure the unit is powered on and positioned properly for the mode you are using. ¾ For MODE 1, position the unit to the side of the tee 6 inches from the ball with the white front panel of the unit pointing down the target line. If you are using the microphone with MODE 1 (recommended), it should be plugged directly into the back panel of the unit and swiveled to point directly at or just behind the ball. ¾ For MODE 2, plug the microphone into the microphone extension cable and plug the other end of the cable into the back panel of the unit. The unit should be placed the recommended distance behind the ball (see PureFlight™ Set Up for MODE 2 instructions), pointed down the target line, with the Mode 2 microphone cable stretched towards the ball. The microphone should be placed 6 inches to the side of the ball, pointed at the ball. (We recommend anchoring the microphone with a few golf tees.) I want to connect the unit to my computer, but it doesn’t have a serial port. It just has USB ports.  Purchase a USB-to-Serial port adapter. We recommend the following two manufacturers. ¾ Belkin Part # F5U103, www.belkin.com. ¾ Radio Shack Catalog # 26-183, www.radioshack.com.
