2.1 Touchpad Installation
1. Before the meet, install the touchpads in the pool. With one person on each end of the
touchpad, carefully lower the touchpad into the pool. Center the touchpad in the lane.
Secure the supplied adjustable bracket to the pool gutter. If the pool does not have a
gutter, secure the touchpad by running a cord through the holes on top of the touchpad
and tying it to the starting block.
2. The universal bracket
adjusts to both a narrow or
wider gutter lip. (Figure 2
and Figure 3).
3. Use a 7/16" socket wrench to secure the brackets in
place on the touchpad (Figure 4).
4. A Daktronics touchpad is designed to fill with water
to aid in its stabilization. When properly installed, the
touchpad should “hug” the pool wall (Figure 5).
5. Connect the touchpads to the lane modules or deck
plates. Read and follow instructions in Section 3.
Do not allow swimmers to use paddles, fins or kick
boards with touchpads in the pool!
