Setting up Multiple Vector Receivers

What you need to know 

• In multi receiver setups, the main access point receiver must connect to a computer via the receiver WiFi. The maximum range between the computer and the main access point receiver when connecting over receiver WiFi is 80 yards (73 meters). Please keep the main access point and the connection computer well within this range for optimal use. 

• Collected data is received by the main access point receiver or secondary receiver(s) and data received by the secondary receiver transmits to the main receiver via WiFi.

How to setup multiple Vector Receivers

1. Power on the main access point Vector receiver by pressing the power button found on the side of the receiver. When the receiver is powered on the battery status LED will illuminate. 

   

2. On the computer, click the Wi-Fi or LAN icon in the bottom right corner of the task bar and find the main access point's receiver WiFi. The Wi-Fi network will be name 'Catapult Receiverxx', where xx = Receiver ID, which is found on the rear of the Receiver.

   

3. Click the receiver's WiFi network and enter in the password found on the label on the back of the main access point receiver.

4. Check that your receiver has connected successfully by opening up the OpenField console. A successful connection to the receiver will be indicated by slow scrolling orange bars or 'Seaweed' in the top right hand corner of the OpenField console. The network indicator LED on the Vector Receiver will also be flashing light blue.

   

5. Turn on the second receiver and so forth, the secondary receivers will automatically connect to the main access point receiver if configured properly. A successful connection to the main receiver will be indicated by a flashing light blue network indicator LED on the secondary receiver.

Maximizing your Vector Multi-Receiver Setup

1. Keep your access point receiver within 50m of your computer or iPad that is running the OpenField console or Vector Live App.

2. Place your secondary receiver in either end zones of your playing field and place the main access point receiver at midfield. Ensure that the secondary receiver is not further than 70m from your main receiver. 

3. Ensure all Vector receivers are fully extended on their tripods and the logo of the receiver is facing the field of play.
