Perform a STRIKE Impact Test:

1. Power ON the device.
   • The power button is located at the bottom of the control box. 
2. Navigate to the Test menu.
3. Select the User and Field.
4. Select the starting Location.
   
   • Refer to the diagram on the front of the Control Box for testing locations.
   • We recommend starting at Location 1 and incrementing by one each test.
   • The location indicates what part of the field to test (ie. main field, painted area, inlay).
5. When the control panel reads Arm Handle, remove the locking pin from the drop cap. Raise the T-handle to the top of the tube and twist clockwise to secure in the drop track.
6. Once the T-handle is secured in its raised position, select Start.
   • The system will arm itself and count down from three before dropping the mass onto the testing location.
7. After dropping, a results page will appear with the following metrics:
   • Peak g
   • Delta v
   • Delta z
8. Press the knob to select Continue.
   • QC Check Success: 
     • Input the infill depth/moisture content and select Confirm to proceed. The data will automatically save to the device.
     • A check mark will appear next to the Location ID. Insert the locking pin in the drop cap and move to the next testing location.
   • QC Check Error
     • An exclamation mark will appear next to the Location ID. To re-test the location, move the device to a different part of field within the location, select Confirm, and repeat steps 5-8. 
9. On the Set Location screen, select Change and set the appropriate location ID.
   • Scroll to check which locations have been tested.
     • A check mark appears next to successful tests.
     • An exclamation mark indicates the test needs to be repeated at that location. When re-testing, ensure to move the device a few feet away from the previous drop.
10. Repeat steps 5-9.
    
    • Repeat until a successful drop has been performed at all testing locations.
11. After testing, press back until you have returned to the main menu. Now it is time to upload the test results. Read about uploading here.
