When your ForceDecks system arrives, you're just a few simple assembly steps away from getting underway with testing. This guide will walk you through the setup required.
This article relates to V2 models of ForceDecks – plates with a silver surface (FDMini, FDLite, FDMax). If your ForceDecks plates have a black surface, see the V1 assembly instructions.

Setup considerations
| Surface: |
The surface on which the plates are placed should be as flat and rigid as possible to avoid vibrations. To test the flatness of your surface, step on each corner of the plate to ensure there is no movement or rocking. |
| Spacing: |
Ensure you have at least a 1 meter (3 foot) radius of clear space around the ForceDecks. Leave a small gap between the plates to minimize cross-interference which may be caused by the plates touching. |

Assemble your system
- Place the plates next to each other, observing the spacing guidelines above.
- Connect your plates using the interplate cable. Push the correct end of the cable in until you feel or hear a click.
- Plug the end with small sockets into the Plate Out port of the left/primary plate.
- Plug the end with small pins into the Plate In port of the right/secondary plate.
-
Briefly press the Power button, located on the left underside of the primary (left) plate. This will automatically power on the secondary (right) plate.
To connect your assembled ForceDecks system to power:
Depending on the battery level displayed by the LED lights on your ForceDecks, you may need to charge one or both plates.
- Plug the small end of the USB cable into the USB port, located on the left underside of the primary (left) plate.
-
Plug the other end of the USB cable into your computer or wall charger/mains power.See Charging your ForceDecks more details.
To disassemble your system or remove the interplate cable:
-
Hold down the silver lever to release the cable and firmly pull it from the port.The lever is located either on the socket-end of the cable, or for the pin-end, next to the Plate Out port on the ForceDecks plate.
