The QED also comes with Uneekor’s own in-house software called Ignite, which offers QED Optix recordings, a 3D driving range, fitting data, and a swing motion analysis tool. The Ignite software can ceiling height for golf simulator be upgraded to Refine or Succeed software which provides full course play and other additional features.
The QED is generally an indoor launch monitor because it needs to be mounted overhead in a fixed position. It also must be used with software in order to view the measured data, so in this sense, it’s essentially a golf simulator.
Setting Up The QED
You need to follow a specific process to install the QED. It must be securely mounted to the ceiling with cables connecting the sensor bar to a PC and wall outlet.
Uneekor recommends that the mounting of the bracket be performed by two or more people for safety, as it will require standing on a ladder. It should be installed to a level and stable surface that can support approximately 30 pounds.
In this section, we’ll provide a rough overview of the installation process, but for the full details, you should consult the official installation manual for the QED.
First, let’s talk about the layout. Ideally, the QED bar should be mounted 9-10.5 feet from the ground, and the front of the bar should be about 3.5 feet behind the tee position. The screen should be at least 12 feet from the tee position.
See below for an illustration:

The QED bar can mounted in a covered area outside, but only if it’s completely shielded from precipitation and high humidity.
Step 1: Mount the bracket.
First, slightly loosen the black 15mm screws holding the sensor to the bracket, and then remove the sensor. Then, place your ladder under the mounting location, making sure the front of the sensor will be 3.5 feet from the tee position.
Climb the ladder and place the bracket flat against the ceiling with the hinges facing down towards the ground. The logo should be on the side of the hitting screen.
Take the silver 32mm screws. From the orientation where the Uneekor logos are upright and on the bottom, first screw in the top second hole from the left and then the bottom second hole from the right. Then, screw in the rest of the holes in any order.
Step 2: Install the sensor.
First, ensure that the six screws already inserted into the bar are about halfway down.Then, slide the bar with the screws through the bracket, making sure the screws are secured in the hinge slots. You may need to tighten the screws slightly in order for them to fit properly.
Step 3: Establish connections.
Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the sensor to your PC through the Ethernet port. Connect the power cable, power adapter, and power connector. Then, flip the red switch on the sensor.
Verify the power is on by observing the bright red light on the sensor’s switch.Pair the QED to your PC by setting the static IP addresses according to Uneekor’s Network Settings Guide. Use the provided connection checker tool transferred to a USB stick to verify the sensor’s LAN connection.
Step 4: Install software.
You will then need to install Uneekor’s Ignite, Refine or Succeed software depending on your purchase.
They will provide the installation code in an email, and you need to follow the steps as required in the installation manual. All relevant installation files are contained in the included USB stick.
