Welcome to Your ICATS Setup
This guide walks you through every step of installing and configuring your ICA Training System (ICATS Pro or EZ). Follow the steps in order -- each one builds on the previous, and skipping ahead can create problems that are harder to sort out later.
The full process takes roughly 3-5 hours. Most of that time is the physical projector mounting. The software setup at the end is straightforward and usually wraps up in under an hour.
What You Will Do
- Confirm your components and room are ready
- Choose and verify your projector mount position
- Physically mount the projector
- Connect ICATS to the projector and join WiFi
- Calibrate the projected image to your table
- Update software and set your table size
- Load your first drill
Two Items You Supply
Two items are required that do not come with your ICATS and must be sourced separately before you start.
Projector -- Not all projectors work with ICATS. Check the projector compatibility list before purchasing or mounting anything. Using an incompatible projector is the most common cause of installation problems.
Mounting hardware -- The right hardware depends on your ceiling type, ceiling height, and which mount configuration suits your room. Step 2 walks you through choosing the right one.
Tutorial videos are available at icatraining.com/tutorials to supplement this written guide. The support hub has answers to the most common installation questions if you get stuck at any point.
Ready to Start?
Begin with Step 1 to confirm everything in your box is present. That inventory check takes about 15 minutes and prevents surprises later in the process.
Unbox & Inventory
Confirm all components are present before starting installation.
Room & Projector Check
Verify your room dimensions, ceiling height, and projector compatibility before mounting.
Mount the Projector
Physically mount your projector in the correct position above your pool table.
First Power-On & WiFi
Connect ICATS to your projector, set up the keyboard, and join your WiFi network.
Calibration & Alignment
Align the projected image precisely to your pool table surface.
Updates & Configuration
Download the latest software and content, and set your table size.
Your First Drill
Load a drill and begin training on your ICATS.
