Quick Setup Guide SOLO-Pac Targets & Server

For help with the Solo-Pac targets utilizing a Server, call Dave at 765-427-2753 or Steve at 765-427-

4699. Also, detailed instructions on the use of the Server can be found in the “Admin Guide SOLO

Target Frame

You’ll need to have a suitable target frame for mounting each SOLO system. It can be a manually
operated “pit” system, or a fixed frame. A solid frame is the key to repeatable accuracy. You can
mount the target equipment on an existing frame, or build a new frame.

1. Your frame should be solid, and not move excessively with
wind or bullet impacts. It should be mounted securely, or
have a rigid stand if it’s portable.

2. It should be large enough so sensors don’t get shot and you
can easily mount your largest targets. The T-SOLO and
the lower sensor elements should be mounted below
grade, out of the line of fire.

3. Cardboard or corrugated plastic (more weather resistant) work well for a backer board. Coroplast
is available at most home improvement stores.

The microphone sensor elements are mounted in the four corners of your target frame, and the T-
SOLO is mounted near the bottom of your frame, out of the line of fire. The T-SOLO panel
antenna communicates to the line, and needs to be mounted about 1/3 or 1/2 way up the left side of

the frame, with clear line of sight to the firing line. The lower sensor elements should ideally also be
below the line of fire if you have pits.

Sensor Mounting Plates

Good, accurate sensor mounting is the key to an accurate system. There are four white plastic
mounting plates that get mounted to the four corners of the target frame. The SOLO dual-mic
sensor elements then connect to these mounting plates with a simple slide down from the top.

1. Mount these 4 bases to your target using 4 pan head screws per
base, and do not over tighten. You MUST install the bases at 90
degrees to each other, so they should be rectangular or square.

2. Attach the microphone sensor assemblies to the bases. The
sensors are not specific to any corner, but the correct color-coded
cable must be attached as shown. They should be mounted in the
same plane as each other and the target face, and point at the
firing line, being parallel to each other.

3. Once mounted, record the horizontal spacing between the left edges of upper bases & the vertical
spacing between the tops of the left bases

Targets

Fasten a paper target face to the frame, roughly near the center of the bases

Target Wiring

The T-SOLO is connected to the
sensors with color-coded ethernet
cables. It is imperative that you get the
correct color cable to the correct sensor
and to the correct port on the T-
SOLO.

Next connect the panel antenna cable
to the antenna connection on the T-
SOLO and the panel antenna. Hang
the panel antenna on the left side of the
target frame, about 1/3 or 1/2 way up
the left side. Keep it as far left as
possible to reduce the chance of bullet
impacts.

Connect a freshly charged battery to the
T-SOLO. It needs about 1-2 minutes
to fully come online.

Firing Line

Go to the firing line, connect a freshly charged battery to the Server, and make sure it is on. Face the
large panel antenna toward the targets, and ensure it has clear line of sight to each target’s antenna.

Connecting Your Display Device

Almost any display device with WIFI capability and a modern browser (laptop, tablet, smartphone,
etc.), may be used to connect to the target system.

1. First, connect to the WIFI Network. Choose “Settings”, then “WIFI” or “Connections”, and look for a
WIFI network named SilverMountainTargets, and click “connect”.

2. Open a browser such as Safari, Chrome, or Firefox & in the Address bar, type in the IP address of
the Server, 192.168.0.47. The TargetViewer should now load. Note that older outdated browsers
may not work correctly, so make sure yours is updated.
