FCC ID: 2ADAL-B001 Trackable American Football

Catapult Smart Football

(2ADAL-B001) User Manual 1 1. OUTLINE Catapults Ultrawideband (UWB) Clearsky technology can be used to track the Catapult Smart Football in real time and give coaches insights into the number of times the ball has been thrown, the distance it travels, the speed at which it travels and how fast it spins amongst many other metrics. When removed from the Catapult Smart Ball Charger, the ball starts transmitting UWB frames and will periodically listen for transmissions received from Clearsky infrastructure. If it can detect that it is within line-of-sight of a Clearsky receiver, it will continue to transmit at a pre-configured rate. The Clearsky receivers then record timestamps of received ball transmissions and backhaul them to a location engine, which computes the position of the ball in real-time using pre-surveyed receiver positions. When positioned on its charger, the ball will turn off its UWB sub-system and turn on its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sub-system. When in this mode, the ball can be upgraded over-the-air (OTA) and its configuration can be polled and updated using BLE data transfer. 2. Catapult Smart Ball Charger The Catapult Smart Ball Charger uses innovative power-at-distance charging technology to charge compatible balls using the 915 MHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. The charger is powered by the provided USB-C to mains adapter and USB-C cable. Upon insertion, the LED will be coloured white to indicate that the charger is operational. When a Catapult Smart Football is placed on the charger, the LED will change colour to red to indicate that the ball is charging. Once the football is fully charged, the LED will change colour to green. No user interaction other than plugging the cable into the charger and placing the ball on the charger is required. 3. Catapult Smart Football As explained in the previous section, The Catapult Smart Football can be charged using the Smart Ball Charger. When the football is placed on the charger, its firmware can be upgraded, and it can be placed in a deep-sleep state for shipping. Both can be initiated using Catapults mobile app. When the football is removed from the charger, its UWB transceiver will be activated, and it will commence transmitting small frames called blinks. To verify that it is in range of a Catapult Clearsky system, the football will attempt to receive blinks from a Clearsky system. If it fails to receive any within ten seconds, then it will cease transmission and go into a standby state and then periodically attempt to receive Clearsky transmissions. The football also has an accelerometer and gyroscope, which are sampled at 100 Hz, and the data transmitted in the UWB blinks. By monitoring the accelerometers, the footballs firmware can detect if it is being moved; if not, it will go into a standby state where it will monitor for movement and then wake up and commence transmitting. 2 The football is used by college and professional football players to monitor their throwing, kicking, and receiving ability. Therefore, it is often held by players before they throw the ball and after theyve caught it and no minimum distance between the football and a player is required. 3 Regulatory Notices USA Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
