{"title":"Speed Pitch Display Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eA speed pitch display system puts the radar reading where everyone can see it. Instead of one coach squinting at a handheld gun, a red LED speed board mounted behind the plate shows the number to the pitcher, the parents and the line of kids waiting their turn. That is what turns a radar gun into an attraction, a fundraiser or a genuine training tool for a whole team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery system here is built from three parts. A radar gun or a fixed detector unit measures the pitch. A cable carries both the reading and the power. A red LED display shows the speed in digits sized for the viewing distance you need, from 4 inch digits for an indoor cage up to 18 inch digits readable across a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a Display Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4 inch board suits indoor cages, tables and tight spaces. The 8 inch board is the common choice for a booth or a batting cage where a small crowd is watching. The 12 inch and 18 inch boards are for fields, gyms and events where the number has to carry across real distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne decision matters more than size. A two digit display stops at 99, so any reading of 100 MPH or more cannot be shown. If high school, college or adult pitching is in scope, choose a display that reads up to 199.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKits Versus Building Your Own\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matched kits pair a gun and a display with the cable and mount already sorted, and in most cases they cost less than buying the same parts separately. Building your own makes sense when you already own a compatible gun or need a cable run longer than the standard 25 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetector units are the other path. A detector has no trigger and no screen of its own, mounts permanently in a booth or cage, and draws its power from the display over a single cable. For a fixed installation that runs unattended, it is the cleaner answer than a handheld gun.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector","title":"Sports Radar DT100 Speed Detector Unit","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sports Radar DT100 is a fixed mount radar sensor, not a handheld radar gun, and that difference matters before anything else. It has no screen, no trigger, no batteries and no power switch. It bolts or straps into a fixed position behind a net, and a single cable carries both power and data between it and a Sports Radar LED speed display. On its own it does nothing at all. Paired with a display it becomes the sensor half of a speed pitch booth, a cage speed station or a permanent tunnel readout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole product and it is worth being blunt about, because buyers regularly order a detector expecting a radar gun and end up with a sealed box and a cable. If what you want is a device you hold and aim, look at a handheld gun such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sra-3000-radar-gun\"\u003eSRA3000 Tracer\u003c\/a\u003e instead. If what you want is a permanent installation where a pitcher throws and a big number appears on a board, the DT100 is one of the two pieces you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Need to Buy With a DT100\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA display is required, not optional. The DT100 sends its readings over a serial connection and something has to receive them. Two Sports Radar displays cover most installations. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl431-r-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL431-R\u003c\/a\u003e uses three 4 inch high brightness LED digits, is readable from over 150 feet and runs on 9VDC. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e uses three 8 inch ultra bright digits, is readable up to 350 feet, runs on 12VDC and accepts up to four detectors at once while indicating which one recorded the highest speed. A power supply for the display is required as well, since the detector draws its power through the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detector arrives with a 25 foot power and data cable permanently attached to it. Longer runs are handled by adding \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003eCAT5 network style extension cable\u003c\/a\u003e with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-rj45-cable-coupler\"\u003ecoupler\u003c\/a\u003e, and no maximum total run is published. If the readings need to go to a computer rather than a board, that is what the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-det-pc-02-software\"\u003eDET-PC-02 detector software package\u003c\/a\u003e is for. It supplies the software along with the adapter that safely converts the detector cable to a serial port, which is the only correct way to make that connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEight Foot Side by Side Isolation for Multi Lane Booths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT100 is the only detector in the Sports Radar range rated to run beside another unit at 8 feet of separation without the two reading each other. For a single lane that is a curiosity. For a two, three or four lane speed pitch setup it is the whole decision, because cross reading between adjacent lanes is what turns a head to head competition into an argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat capability pairs directly with the DL834, which accepts up to four detectors and shows which lane produced the highest speed. Four DT100 units, one DL834 and a cable run gives you a four lane competition board from one display. The DT100 is also built to shrug off the motors and blower fans typical of inflatable speed pitch games, which is the other noise source that ruins readings in that environment. If you are building anything with more than one lane, this is the detector to use rather than the longer range \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt200-speed-detector\"\u003eDT200\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRange, Mounting and Alignment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical detection range is 8 feet, which is short by design. The DT100 is meant to sit right behind the target, so a short range keeps it deaf to everything happening elsewhere in the building. Mount it 1 to 6 feet behind the receiving net and line it up with the path of the ball, because the same angle rule that governs handheld guns governs a fixed sensor. Anything off the line of travel reads low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit comes with a swivel bracket base that gives you several ways to fix it in place. Two 5\/32 inch holes take screws into wood or masonry. The same holes take tie wraps, two per hole, for mounting to a metal fence, a post or a bar. There is also a standard 1\/4-20 tripod nut in the housing if a camera tripod suits the site better. For a solid or chain link back wall, mount the detector on the net side. For an inflatable or vinyl back wall, it can be mounted on the outside and read through the material. Secure the cable roughly every 5 feet so the run is not taking any strain at the connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeed Window, Noise Filter and On Board Memory\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT100 detects from 25 to 175 MPH, or 40 to 240 Km\/H, and readings can be output in either unit. Inside that range it carries programmable minimum and maximum speed limits so only speeds within a window you choose are registered, which keeps stray activity in the building off the board. From the factory the window is set wide open at 25 and 175 MPH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe noise filter is programmable between 8 and 50 and ships set to 8. A lower number gives more range and more false readings, a higher number gives fewer of both. The right method when a unit reads the tuning fork but not a pitch is to bring the filter back down toward 8, then raise it a step at a time until the false readings stop. A roughly 3 second delay sits between readings and the red reading indicator goes dark while it runs, so rapid fire throwing holds a number on the board rather than flickering. The detector also stores up to 1000 speeds in on board memory, which can be pulled down to a computer with the detector software package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Sports Radar DT100 Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buyer here is a facility rather than an individual. Speed pitch booth operators, carnival and inflatable game operators, batting cage and training tunnel owners, school and municipal recreation departments, and anyone building a permanent speed station where a display is part of the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the wrong purchase for a coach who wants to clock a bullpen or a parent at a game, since those are handheld gun jobs, and the wrong choice if the sensor has to sit further back than about 8 feet, which is what the DT200 is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstalling and Using the DT100\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA working installation is four things: the detector, a display, a power supply for the display, and enough cable between them. Mount the detector behind the net in line with the ball, run the cable to the display and secure it along the way, power the display, and check the whole chain with the included tuning fork before anyone throws. A correct unit reads the fork at 65 MPH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the detector has no power of its own, a dead system is nearly always a display, cable or power supply fault rather than a failed radar. Corroded connector pins on an outdoor run are a known cause. The 25 MPH detection floor is worth planning around for a youth event, since throws slower than that will not register at all and a booth aimed at small children needs that expectation set at the sign rather than at the display. The unit is weather resistant and is installed indoors and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSports Radar DT100 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct class: fixed mount radar sensor with no display on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed detection range: 25 to 175 MPH, or 40 to 240 Km\/H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical detection range: 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide by side operation: adjacent units at 8 feet separation without cross reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable minimum and maximum speed limits, factory set to 25 and 175 MPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable noise filter, settings 8 to 50, factory default 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading delay: about 3 seconds, with the red reading indicator off during the delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn board memory: up to 1000 recorded speeds, downloadable to a computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData output: serial communications at 1200 baud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable: permanently attached 25 foot power and data cable with an RJ45 network style plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: none on board, drawn from the connected display over the same cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnits: MPH or Km\/H, selectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: swivel bracket base, two 5\/32 in holes for screws or tie wraps, plus a 1\/4-20 tripod nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather resistant for indoor or outdoor installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSports Radar covers the DT100 with a 1 year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Included with the DT100\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDT100 radar unit with a permanently attached 25 foot power and data cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting and alignment bracket with screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed tuning fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA display is not included and the detector will not show a speed without one.

It has no screen, no trigger, no batteries and no power switch of its own. It mounts in a fixed position, and a single cable carries both power and data between the sensor and a Sports Radar LED speed display. Nothing happens until it is connected to that display, so the DT200 is always bought as one half of a system rather than as a device on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it adds over the shorter range detector in the line is distance. The DT200 detects up to 50 feet, against roughly 8 feet for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100\u003c\/a\u003e, which makes it the right sensor for open situations where you simply cannot mount the radar a few feet behind the target. Think a baseball field, a tennis court, or any installation where the display and the sensor have to sit back from the action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the DT200 Sits in the Detector Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT200 is the mid range detector, and it is worth saying so directly because it is often described as a long range unit. It is not the longest reaching sensor Sports Radar builds, and the range figure to plan around is up to 50 feet. Buy it because 50 feet is what your installation needs, not because a label implied more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth being clear about what the DT200 does not claim. The 8 foot side by side isolation that lets multiple detectors work in adjacent lanes without reading each other is specific to the DT100 and is not stated for this unit. If you are building a two, three or four lane speed pitch setup where units sit close together, use DT100 sensors. The DT200 is for a single reading position that needs to see further, not for banks of sensors sitting side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Need to Buy With a DT200\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA display is required. The DT200 outputs its readings over a serial connection and something has to receive and show them. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl431-r-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL431-R\u003c\/a\u003e uses three 4 inch high brightness LED digits and is readable from over 150 feet. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e uses three 8 inch ultra bright digits and is readable up to 350 feet, which is usually the right pairing for a DT200, since an installation that needs 50 feet of detection range generally also needs a board people can read from the stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power supply for the display is required too, because the detector has no power input of its own and draws what it needs through the display over the same cable. The attached cable is 25 feet and longer runs are made with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003eCAT5 network style extension cable\u003c\/a\u003e.

Do not connect the detector cable to a computer without that adapter, because it carries power as well as data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRange, Speed Window and Filtering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetection range is up to 50 feet and the detection band is 25 to 175 MPH, or 40 to 240 Km\/H, with output selectable in either unit. Alignment governs accuracy exactly the way it does on a handheld gun. Mount the sensor in line with the path of the ball, both horizontally and vertically. Anything off that line reads low, and at 50 feet a small mounting error becomes a large angle at the target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT200 carries programmable minimum and maximum speed limits so only speeds inside a window you set are registered, which keeps a public facing board from displaying a number every time something irrelevant moves through the beam. It also carries a programmable sensitivity and noise filter. Lower filter settings reach further and pick up more spurious readings, higher settings do the opposite. In an open outdoor installation you will usually want the filter low. Indoors, or anywhere near fans, motors, lighting ballasts or traffic, expect to raise it until the unexplained readings stop. Speeds are held in on board memory as well as being sent to the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Sports Radar DT200 Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT200 suits facilities rather than individuals. Baseball fields putting pitch speed on a board for players and spectators, tennis courts showing serve speed, training facilities where the sensor has to sit back from the throwing or hitting position, and installations monitoring traffic speed on a site. It works indoors or outdoors and is weather resistant, so a permanent outdoor mount is a normal use rather than an exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the wrong product for a coach who wants something to carry and aim, which is a handheld gun job. It is the wrong product for a multi lane booth, where the DT100 is the sensor rated for close side by side operation. And it is more sensor than a single enclosed cage needs, since a cage installation can usually put a DT100 within a few feet of the net and spend less doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstalling and Using the DT200\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA working installation is the detector, a display, a power supply and enough cable between them. Fix the sensor in a stable position aligned with the path of the ball, run the cable to the display and support it along the run so the connector never carries the weight, then power the display and confirm the whole chain before an event. A tuning fork check is the fastest way to confirm the sensor and the board are talking to each other, because a correct reading of the fork proves everything between them works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the detector has no independent power, a system that shows nothing is far more likely to be a display, power supply or cable fault than a failed sensor. Check those first. On outdoor installations, corroded connector pins are a recurring cause and a sheltered mounting position for the connection pays for itself.

It has to be wired to a Sports Radar LED speed display, or to a computer through the detector software package, before it will show a speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much more range does it have than the DT100?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoughly six times. The DT200 detects up to 50 feet and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100\u003c\/a\u003e is around 8 feet.

The digits stand 4 inches tall and stay legible at about 200 feet in shaded light across a wide viewing angle, so the pitcher on the mound, the coach behind the net and the line of players waiting a turn all see the same number at the same moment. For indoor cages, bullpens, speed pitch booths and tryout stations, this is the display most baseball programs start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear on one thing before ordering: a display is not a radar. The DL431-R shows what a radar sends it, so a working setup takes three parts. You need this display, a speed source such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sr3600-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3600\u003c\/a\u003e gun, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-sr3800-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3800\u003c\/a\u003e gun or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100 speed detector\u003c\/a\u003e, and an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003eRJ45 cable\u003c\/a\u003e to connect the two. Bought on its own the display arrives without a power supply and without a cable. To get the whole setup under a single part number instead, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-36-kit\"\u003eSRDL-36-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e packages a gun, this display, an adapter and a 25 foot cable together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReadable Across the Whole Facility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree 4 inch digits carry to roughly 200 feet in shaded light, which covers the length of most indoor facilities and the crowd standing around a speed pitch booth. Red LEDs hold their contrast at an angle as well as head on, so people off to the side of the board still read the number cleanly instead of crowding in front of it. Three digits also means the display reads up to 999, so no baseball pitch, throw or batted ball will ever run off the end of the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunlight is the honest limit. LEDs wash out in direct sun, and this is the model built for indoor and shaded use: under a roof, down a tunnel, in the shade of a backstop or inside a booth. It is not waterproof either, so keep it clean and dry and bring it in after a session. When the audience sits farther back than 200 feet, the 8 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e carries to about 350 feet, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-836-kit\"\u003eSRDL-836-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e pairs that larger board with a gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePower and Wiring on the DL431-R\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe display runs on 6 to 14 VDC and draws 0.5 A at high brightness or 0.3 A at normal brightness. No adapter is in the box, so add the 9V wall adapter for indoor work, or the 12V automotive adapter to run the board from a vehicle outlet at a field or an event. Both are on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-power-adapters\"\u003eSports Radar power adapters\u003c\/a\u003e page. The power jack is a 5.5 x 5.0 mm barrel with a 2.1 mm center post wired center negative, which is worth knowing before anyone substitutes a generic adapter out of a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed data arrives on an RJ45 8\/8 jack as a standard RS232 serial signal at 1200 baud, the format every Sports Radar gun and detector puts out. Shielded RJ45 cable comes in 25 foot and 50 foot lengths and stacks to a 100 foot maximum run, with an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-rj45-cable-coupler\"\u003eRJ45 coupler\u003c\/a\u003e at each join.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a second way to power the board. It can draw power through the data cable from the radar gun rather than from its own outlet, which solves the cage where the only power is at the gun end. Three conditions come with that arrangement: the cable run is limited to 50 feet, the gun has to be on external power rather than internal batteries, and the gun needs to be switched on before the cable is plugged in. Brightness can drop slightly when the display is fed this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1\/4-20 tripod nut is threaded into the bottom of the case and two hanging brackets are built into the back, so the display either sits on a stand or hangs flat on a wall with no extra hardware. At 1.5 pounds it is light enough for a standard \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-radar-gun-tripod\"\u003eradar tripod\u003c\/a\u003e, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-table-top-stand\"\u003e4 inch table top stand\u003c\/a\u003e is the tidy answer for a scorer's table, a booth counter or a shelf at the front of a cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the DL431-R Works With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Sports Radar gun or detector with a data port drives this board: the SR3600 and SR3800 guns, the DT100, DT200 and DT300 speed detectors, and the NFSC radar units. Two exceptions matter. The older SR3500 needs a wireless link kit to reach the display, and the SRA3000 Tracer guns cannot drive a remote display at all, since a Tracer is self contained with its own readout. If a Tracer is what you own, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100 detector\u003c\/a\u003e is a straightforward way to feed a board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Display Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndoor baseball facilities hang it at the end of a tunnel so a pitcher gets a number after every pitch without breaking rhythm to ask for it. Travel and high school baseball programs use it at tryouts and showcase stations, where a visible board keeps a line of players moving and gives coaches and parents the same reading at the same time. Speed pitch booths at fundraisers, fairs and team events get the most obvious benefit, because the number is the attraction and it has to be visible to the people waiting in line, not just the operator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also earns a place in a cage or a bullpen for one quiet reason: the pitcher stops looking at the coach. A speed read out loud is a conversation. A number on the wall is feedback, and that shows up in how many pitches a bullpen gets through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSetting Up the DL431-R\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the board where the athlete and the audience both have a clean sight line, generally beside or slightly behind the target so nobody looks away from the action to read it. Mount it on the wall hangers, the tripod or the table top stand, then run the RJ45 cable from the gun or detector to the display and plug in the adapter. Speeds appear as the radar reports them, with no menus to work through on the display end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the cable distance before install day. Measure the run from the radar to the board, order cable to match with a little slack, and remember the 100 foot ceiling on a stacked run. If the board hangs high on a wall, angle it down toward eye level and keep it clear of direct sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSports Radar DL431-R Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: three red LED digits, 4 inches tall, reads up to 999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewing distance: about 200 feet in shaded light, wide viewing angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest environment: indoor or shaded areas, not waterproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnclosure: 12.25 in wide, 6.375 in high, 1.5 in deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.5 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower input: 6 to 14 VDC, 0.5 A at high brightness, 0.3 A at normal brightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower jack: 5.5 x 5.0 mm barrel, 2.1 mm center post, center negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData input: RJ45 8\/8 jack, RS232 serial at 1200 baud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable: shielded RJ45 in 25 foot and 50 foot lengths, stackable to a 100 foot maximum run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: 1\/4-20 tripod nut on the bottom, two hanging brackets on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 40 to 110 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage temperature: 30 to 125 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible sources: SR3600, SR3800, DT100, DT200 and DT300 detectors, NFSC radar units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 year limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box holds the DL431-R display and its instruction manual.

It reads clearly at about 350 feet in shaded light across an extremely wide viewing angle, which covers a full baseball or softball field, a grandstand, a fan zone or a busy indoor facility. Up to four radars can feed it at once and it shows only the fastest speed of the group, so one board can serve several stations, several cages or both ends of a rink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the part that trips people up: a display is not a radar. The DL834 shows what a radar sends it, so the working setup is the board plus a speed source such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sr3600-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3600\u003c\/a\u003e gun, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-sr3800-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3800\u003c\/a\u003e gun or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100 speed detector\u003c\/a\u003e, plus an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003eRJ45 cable\u003c\/a\u003e between them.

Ultra bright red LEDs in a heavy duty steel frame hold up at roughly 350 feet in shaded light, and the viewing angle is wide enough that spectators along the baselines read the same number as the people sitting behind the plate. Three digits means it reads up to 999, so a display ceiling is never part of the conversation on this board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sun is still the one thing to design around. LEDs wash out when the sun hits the face of the display, so aim it away from low afternoon sun or shade it. The unit is weather resistant rather than waterproof: it handles an outdoor session comfortably, but it should come in out of the rain or live inside a clear enclosure for a permanent outdoor install. The power transformer is rated for indoor use only, so plan for the transformer to sit under cover even when the board does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFour Radar Inputs and One Number\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DL834 accepts up to four radar sources at once and displays only the highest speed it receives, with a source indicator that lights to show which port produced the winning reading. That covers jobs no single input display can do: two guns at opposite ends of a rink feeding one central board, four cage stations sharing a readout, or a multi lane event where every lane reports to the same sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower runs the other way down the same cable. Power supplied to the display feeds back along the RJ45 run and powers the connected radar gun or detector, so the radar does not need an outlet of its own at its end of the field. That is the difference between one extension cord and two on setup day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed data is standard RS232 at 1200 baud over CAT5, the format every Sports Radar gun and detector produces. Cable comes in 25 foot and 50 foot lengths and stacks to a 100 foot maximum run between radar and display, with an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-rj45-cable-coupler\"\u003eRJ45 coupler\u003c\/a\u003e at each join.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting a Five Pound Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo hanging brackets are built into the back for a flat wall mount, and 1\/4-20 nuts are threaded into both the top and the bottom of the case. The bottom nut takes a table top stand or a heavy duty tripod. The top nut lets the display hang from a wall mount so the face tilts down toward the crowd, which is the right answer for a board mounted above eye level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne caution matters more than the rest: at 5 pounds in a steel frame, the DL834 is not for lightweight tripods, and a removable shoe type tripod head is the wrong hardware for it.

That suits baseball and softball, where every pitch should stay up long enough to be read. Two other modes exist in the family firmware: a tennis serve mode that holds the fastest serve until play stops, and a quick display mode that updates about twice a second from one radar. Those have to be specified when the order is placed, so tell us up front if your event needs one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the DL834 Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh school and college baseball and softball programs put it on the backstop or the outfield fence so the stadium sees pitch speeds during a game or a showcase. Facilities running tournaments and fundraisers use it as the centerpiece of a speed pitch attraction, where the whole point is that a crowd fifty yards away can read the number. Multi station cages feed it from several guns and let one board serve the room. It is also the display used in tennis serve speed systems, and it handles hockey and lacrosse shot speed with a gun at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the audience is inside 200 feet and the budget matters more than the size of the digits, the 4 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl431-r-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL431-R\u003c\/a\u003e does the same job on a smaller scale, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-36-kit\"\u003eSRDL-36-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e is the entry level gun and display package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSetting It Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide where the crowd sits first, then place the board so nobody has to turn away from the field to read it.

It is built for permanent and semi permanent installs on a baseball or softball field, at a drag strip, or anywhere the audience sits well beyond the range of a facility sized board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo versions are listed here and the difference is the only decision that really matters on this page. Reads up to 99 is the two digit board, model DL1211. Reads up to 199 is the 2.5 digit board, model DL1212.5, which adds a half height leading 1 and can therefore show a three digit speed. Choose the wrong one and the board will do everything you asked of it except display your fastest reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso worth saying plainly before anything else: a display is not a radar. Neither version includes a gun. A working setup is this board, a speed source such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sr3600-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3600\u003c\/a\u003e gun, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-sr3800-radar-gun\"\u003eSR3800\u003c\/a\u003e gun or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dt100-speed-detector\"\u003eDT100 speed detector\u003c\/a\u003e, and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003eCAT5 cable\u003c\/a\u003e run between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReads Up to 99 or Reads Up to 199\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two digit display physically cannot show a three digit number. The DL1211 covers 1 to 99 MPH or KPH and a 100 MPH reading has nowhere to go on it. The DL1212.5 carries 2.5 digits, meaning a narrow leading 1 alongside two full size digits, and reads up to 199.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes the choice concrete. If anything you point a radar at might break 100, buy the 199 version. High school and college pitching staffs now put arms into the mid and upper 90s, and a showcase or a stadium board that tops out at 99 will fail on the exact pitch everybody came to see. Anything automotive belongs on the 199 board too, since car speeds run past 99 routinely, as do drag strip trap speeds and hard shots in hockey and lacrosse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 99 version is the right buy when nothing in front of the radar is going to reach triple digits: youth baseball and softball programs, recreational leagues, speed pitch attractions, cage and facility work, and fastpitch, where the pitch never comes close to the ceiling. It is the less expensive of the two and there is no reason to pay for headroom the field will never use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more practical note. If you are buying for a program whose players are getting older, buy for the roster you will have in five years rather than the one you have now. A speed board is a long lived piece of hardware and the ceiling cannot be raised later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Be Read From the Far Side of a Stadium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two digit DL1211 is rated to be read at 650 feet, day or night, which is what separates a large format board from a facility display. The case is .090 aluminum with a white powder coat, and the digits sit behind a 1\/8 inch red plexiglass cover with a velvet text overlay that resists scratches, dust and fingerprints, so a board mounted where nobody can easily reach it keeps looking right season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge format speed boards are usually the single most expensive item in a radar setup. This line sits well below the wireless sign packages assembled around other radar brands, which is the main reason schools, municipal parks departments and racing venues end up here. For a permanent outdoor installation, get in touch before you order so we can go over the mounting position with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Radar In, One Number Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions take a single radar data port over CAT5 and RJ45. That is the practical difference from the 8 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e, which accepts four radars at once and shows the fastest of the group. If your setup needs two guns feeding one board, the DL834 is the display that does it. If one radar covers the job and you need the number to carry a long way, this is the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Sports Radar gun or detector with a data port drives it, including the SR3600 and SR3800 guns and the DT100, DT200 and DT300 detectors.

High school, college and academy baseball and softball programs mount it on a backstop, an outfield fence or a press box wall so pitch speeds are part of the game experience rather than a number a coach reads out later. Tournament and showcase operators use it because a board this size is visible from every seat in the complex. Motorsports venues and drag strips run it as a trap speed display, which is where the 199 version earns its price difference outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the audience is closer than a few hundred feet, you do not need a board this big. The 8 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e covers about 350 feet and the 4 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl431-r-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL431-R\u003c\/a\u003e covers about 200 feet, both at a fraction of the cost.

Fix the viewing position first, then the board height and angle, then the radar position, and only then the cable path. Measure the real cable route rather than the straight line distance, because a run that goes down a pole, along a fence and up into a press box is always longer than it looks on a site plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the radar the geometry it needs as well. A gun or detector reads most accurately when it sits close to in line with the flight of the ball, so mounting it square behind the pitcher or behind the plate produces better numbers than an angled position at the side of the field.

It is the less expensive of the two, and for a venue running youth baseball, recreational play or a speed pitch attraction the ceiling will never be tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 199 version carries a second advantage worth knowing about: an auto dimming sensor, which no other display in this line has. It reads ambient light and pulls the brightness down as the light falls, so the board is easy to read in daylight and not blinding under stadium lights at night. On a permanently mounted board that people sit in front of for three hours, that matters more than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Board You Can Read at 1,000 Feet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions are rated to be read at 1,000 feet, day or night, which is the longest viewing distance in the Sports Radar display line and roughly three times what an 8 inch board delivers. The case is .090 aluminum with a white powder coat, and the digits sit behind a 1\/8 inch red plexiglass cover with a velvet text overlay that resists scratches, dust and fingerprints, so a board mounted out of reach still looks right after years of weather and sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge format speed boards are usually the most expensive item in any radar setup, and this line sits well below the wireless sign packages built around other radar brands. That is why school districts, parks departments and racing venues keep landing on it when a stadium board has to fit a real budget. For a permanent outdoor installation, get in touch before ordering so we can go through the mounting position with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Radar In, One Number Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions take a single radar data port over CAT5 and RJ45. That is the practical difference from the 8 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl834-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL834\u003c\/a\u003e, which accepts four radars at once and displays the fastest of them. If two guns have to feed one board, the DL834 is the display that does it. If one radar covers the job and the number has to reach the back row, this is the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Sports Radar gun or detector with a data port drives it, including the SR3600 and SR3800 guns and the DT100, DT200 and DT300 detectors. Cable runs are built from \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-cat5-radar-cable\"\u003e25 foot and 50 foot CAT5 lengths\u003c\/a\u003e with an \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-rj45-cable-coupler\"\u003eRJ45 coupler\u003c\/a\u003e at each join, and mounting hangers are installed on the back of the unit.

Baseball stadiums, college programs and large tournament complexes install it where the crowd is spread across a grandstand and a 12 inch board would leave the back rows guessing. Drag strips and racing venues run it as a trap speed display, where the 199 version is the only sensible choice. Municipal speed display projects use it for the same reason: an 18 inch digit reads from a long way off, day or night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the audience sits closer in, spend less and buy smaller. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-12-inch-led-speed-display\"\u003e12 inch display\u003c\/a\u003e is rated at 650 feet, the 8 inch DL834 at about 350 feet, and the 4 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-dl431-r-led-speed-display\"\u003eDL431-R\u003c\/a\u003e at about 200 feet.

Fix the viewing position first, then the height and angle of the board, then where the radar sits, and only then the cable path. Measure the real cable route rather than the straight line distance, because a run that drops down a pole, follows a fence line and climbs into a press box is always longer than it looks on the drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the radar the geometry it needs as well. A gun or a detector reads most accurately close to in line with the flight of the ball or the direction of travel, so a position square behind the pitcher, behind the plate or straight down the lane beats an angled mount off to one side. Plan the power drops with the cable route, and label both ends of every run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSports Radar 18 Inch Red LED Speed Display Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigit height: 18 inches, red LED, on both versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReads up to 99 version: model DL1811, two digits, 1 to 99 MPH or KPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReads up to 199 version: model DL1812.5, 2.5 digits, reads up to 199\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewing distance: 1,000 feet, day or night, on both versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto dimming sensor: on the reads up to 199 version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: .090 aluminum case, white powder coat, 1\/8 inch red plexiglass cover, velvet text overlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData input: single radar port, CAT5 and RJ45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible sources: any Sports Radar gun or detector with a data port, and NFSC radar units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 5 amp 12VDC power adapter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: hangers installed on the back of the unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadar gun: not included on either version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 year limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe display ships with its 5 amp 12VDC power adapter. There is no radar gun or detector in the box, so add one to the order along with the CAT5 cable needed to reach the board.

The two digit DL1811 stops at 99 and cannot display a three digit number, so a 100 MPH pitch or a car speed will not appear on it. The DL1812.5 is the version to order for anything that breaks 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich version should I buy?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the 199 version for stadium baseball, college and showcase events, for any automotive or drag strip use, and for hockey and lacrosse shot speed. Buy the 99 version only when nothing in front of the radar will reach triple digits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow far away can it be read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 1,000 feet, day or night. That is the longest viewing distance of any display in this line and about three times what an 8 inch board covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it come with a radar gun?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a display only. Pair it with an SR3600 or SR3800 gun, or a DT100, DT200 or DT300 detector, and connect the two with CAT5 cable. The SRDL-1836-KIT and SRDL-1838-KIT bundle a gun with the 199 version of this board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I connect two radar guns to it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both versions have a single data port.

The gun clocks the baseball, the cable carries the reading to the board, and the number goes up where the pitcher, the coach and everyone waiting in line can see it. It is put together for indoor cages, recreation centers, school fundraisers and carnival speed pitch booths, and it is the kit built to work with inflatable speed pitch games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything needed to run the setup is here except batteries: the gun, the display, a 9V wall adapter, a 25 foot cable, a table top stand, a tuning fork for a field accuracy check and a hard case to move it all.

There is no app, no pairing and no wireless link to lose. Plug the cable in at both ends, power the display, and the speed lands on the board at the same moment it lands on the gun's own 3 digit LCD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the board needs to sit further away, shielded RJ45 extenders in 25 and 50 foot lengths stack to a 100 foot maximum run with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-rj45-cable-coupler\"\u003ecoupler\u003c\/a\u003e at each join. The display can also pull its power from the gun through that same cable, which takes one outlet out of the setup. That arrangement caps the run at 50 feet, requires the gun to be on external power rather than batteries, and can step display brightness down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Is the Kit for Inflatable Speed Pitch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SR3600 reads a baseball out to about 60 feet, and inside an inflatable speed pitch game that short reach is the feature rather than the limitation. A longer range gun keeps looking past the target and picks up movement off the inflatable structure and whatever sits behind it, which puts numbers on the board that have nothing to do with the pitch that was just thrown. A 60 foot ceiling keeps the gun's attention on the throw and the target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-38-kit\"\u003eSRDL-38-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e is not compatible with inflatable games for exactly that reason. If the booth is an inflatable, this is the kit to buy. If the setup is an open outdoor field with the operator standing well back from the plate, the -38 kit is the right tool instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 4 Inch Display Adds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DL431-R lights three 4 inch red LED digits and reads up to 999, so no pitch is going to run it out of room. In shaded light the digits stay legible from roughly 200 feet, and the viewing angle is wide enough that a line of people standing off to one side still gets the number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the indoor and shaded area board in the line. LED digits wash out in direct sunlight, the enclosure is not waterproof and the power supply is built for indoor use, so plan on a cage, a gym, a tent or a covered booth. A 1\/4-20 thread sits on the bottom of the case and two hanging brackets sit on the back. The included \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-table-top-stand\"\u003etable top stand\u003c\/a\u003e covers the most common setup of all, which is the board propped on a table beside the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRunning the SRDL-36-KIT With One Person\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gun has two modes. Trigger mode reads on demand. Continuous mode runs hands free from a tripod, which is how a single player clocks their own throws, and it holds a three second gap between readings so a catcher's throw back does not get counted as a pitch. The gun threads onto any standard 1\/4-20 camera tripod, and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-radar-gun-tripod\"\u003e52 inch tripod\u003c\/a\u003e is available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn audible tone confirms each capture so nobody has to watch the screen, and the gun's own readout flashes when the batteries run down.

Recreation centers and youth baseball programs running speed contests. Booster clubs and school groups working a speed pitch booth at a fundraiser or a fair. Event operators running an inflatable game. The same gun and display pairing also serves small indoor tennis and volleyball setups where a serve or a spike is what gets measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this kit is not is a scouting rig.

It reads a baseball out to about 60 feet, tops out at 200 MPH, resolves to 1 MPH and carries the data port that drives the display. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-38-kit\"\u003eSRDL-38-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e swaps in an SR3800 with roughly double the reach on a ball plus a release and plate reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this kit work with an inflatable speed pitch game?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is the kit meant for inflatable games and carnival speed pitch booths. The gun's 60 foot ball range keeps it from reading movement off the inflatable structure behind the target. The SRDL-38-KIT is explicitly not compatible with inflatables, so a booth operator should stay with this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere should the gun be positioned?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs close to the line of the ball's flight as the setup allows, and inside 60 feet of the release point. Every degree off that line reads low, which is the most common reason a working gun looks broken. Staying within roughly 10 degrees of the ball's path keeps the error small, and vertical angle counts the same way, so a gun on the ground shooting up at a mound will read under.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre batteries included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The gun takes two standard 9V alkaline batteries. The 9V adapter in the kit powers the display, and the gun has its own external power jack if you would rather run it off the wall for a permanent booth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the gun need to be calibrated?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. There is no user calibration on these guns, which is why the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-tuning-fork\"\u003etuning fork\u003c\/a\u003e in the kit is a verification tool rather than an adjustment.

The SR3800 is the long reach model in the line: it reads a baseball out to about 130 feet, it works through chain link, and it can report both the release speed and the speed at the plate from a single pitch.

Pull and hold instead and it captures two speeds from the same pitch, toggling between the release reading and the reading as the ball crosses the plate.

The SR3800 reads through chain link, and 130 feet of ball range at the nF1 setting is enough to cover a full size field from behind the plate.

Pull and hold instead and the gun captures two readings from the same throw, toggling between the speed at release and the speed at the plate. That difference is what a pitching coach uses to judge how a fastball is carrying, and it is the single feature that separates this kit from the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-radar-srdl-836-kit\"\u003eSRDL-836-KIT\u003c\/a\u003e, which uses the same board with the shorter range SR3600.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA nine step noise filter, nF1 through nF9, trades range for interference rejection, which matters indoors and anywhere near lights, motors or other radar.

That is what this kit is for. The SR3800 reads through chain link and has the range to cover a full size field from behind the plate.
