TO MONITOR PITCHES To monitor pitches, press the “ON” button. The appearance of a circular dot as shown below indicates that the monitor is ready to track pitches and display the Revolutions Per Second (RPS) and Miles Per Hour (MPH). Each toss detected by the monitor will result in a beep and the display of RPS and MPH data. The monitor will detect pitches with a spin rate between 4 and 44 RPS and a speed between 30 and 110 MPH. A good knuckleball can not be detected by the RevFire system. A coach holding the monitor should stand within 40 feet of the catcher. The monitor will turn off automatically if no pitch is detected or button pressed for 2 minutes. 4046505460.5REVMAXRPSMAXMPHReady totrack pitchesPitcher toplate distance(feet)Revolutions Per SecondMiles Per Hour TO CHANGE PITCHING DISTANCE Press and hold the “ON” button until the distance number changes. Release at the proper setting. The monitor can be set to 40, 46, 50, 54, or 60.5 feet for the pitching rubber to home plate distance. The correct setting is necessary for the MPH calculation. The catcher should be about 3 feet behind the plate. 4046505460.5REVMAXRPSMAXMPHPress and holdto changedistanceON TO DISPLAY MAX RPS AND MAX MPH The monitor keeps track of the greatest spin rate and speed detected (not necessarily for the same pitch). To display these statistics, press the STATS button once or twice until the words “MAX RPS” and “MAX MPH’ are displayed as shown below: REVMAXRPSMAXMPH4046505460.5Pressfor maximumsHold to zeromaximumsSTATS To return to tracking pitches, press the ON button. TO CLEAR MAX RPS AND MPH With “MAX RPS” and “MAX MPH” displayed, press and hold the STATS button until RPS and MPH are cleared to zeroes. TO DISPLAY PITCH COUNT The RevFire monitor will count the number of ball tosses it detects. To display the toss count, press the STAT button once or twice until the count is displayed as shown in the example below: REVMAXRPSMAXMPH4046505460.5Pressagain for pitchcountHold to zero countSTATS If the monitor is positioned such that it detects tosses by both the pitcher and the catcher, the actual pitch count would be half the value displayed. TO CLEAR PITCH COUNT With the toss count displayed, press and hold the STATS button until the count is cleared to zeroes. USING MULTIPLE REVFIRE BALLS OR MONITORS The RevFire monitor will track only one ball at a time. If multiple RevFire balls are being used near your RevFire monitor, you can select the ball you wish to track. The monitor will track the first RevFire ball thrown after the ON button is pressed. To change balls, simply press the ON button immediately before the ball of interest is thrown. In addition, multiple RevFire monitors may be used to track the same or different balls in the same vicinity. IF YOU ARE USING MORE THAN ONE BALL DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE ‘ON’ BUTTON WHEN SWITCHING BALLS.LOW BATTERY INDICATOR For best monitoring range, the two AA batteries should be replaced with fresh Alkaline batteries when the low battery indicator is displayed. 4046505460.5REVMAXRPSMAXMPH TROUBLESHOOTING If the RevFire monitor and ball do not appear to be working review the following: 1. The monitor only works with RevFire baseballs. 2. The RevFire ball must be caught to register a reading. 3. If you have two or more RevFire balls, or there are other RevFire balls are in the area, the monitor may be tracking a ball other than the one you are currently using. Touch the “ON” button immediately before the next pitch of your RevFire ball to force it to track your ball. 4. The first toss of a RevFire ball after it has been idle for 2 minutes will typically not be detected by the monitor. 5. If the low battery indicator is displayed on the monitor, replace both of the monitor’s AA batteries. 6. The RevFire monitor should be positioned 40 feet or closer to the catcher. 7. There may be radio frequency interference (for example, WiFi networks) in the area, try using the ball at another location. 8. The ball must spin at least 4 revolutions per second in order to be detected by the RevFire system.
