Connecting Devices

Single plate

1. Power on the ZPlate (hold button 2 s, wait for blue flash)
2. Open ZForce and tap Connect Device on the Dashboard
3. The app scans and lists nearby ZPlate devices
4. Tap the device name — connection takes 1–3 seconds
5. The LED turns solid blue and the live force preview starts

Dual plate (L + R)

1. Power on both plates
2. Tap Connect Device — the app will scan for both
3. Connect ZPlate-L first, then ZPlate-R (or vice versa — the app identifies them by BLE name)
4. Both plates appear in the dashboard header with individual battery indicators
5. The live preview shows total force (L + R) and per-side traces

Note

Both plates must be connected before starting a test. Connecting mid-session is not supported.

BLE range

Effective range is ~10 m line-of-sight. Metal gym equipment and bodies reduce this. Keep the tablet within 5 m during testing for reliability.

Disconnecting

Tap the device name in the dashboard header and select Disconnect, or simply power off the plate.
