01 · Safety
Read these points before first use. Share them with anyone who will operate the plates.
Important
- Do not exceed the rated load: up to 1,000 kg (≈ 10 kN) per plate. Do not drop heavy equipment onto the surface.
- Charge only with a standard USB-C phone charger (5 V) and a quality USB-C cable. Do not force incompatible plugs into the charge port.
- Do not open the plates, remove covers, or modify internal parts. There are no user-serviceable components inside.
- Keep the plates dry. Designed for indoor use (splash-resistant enclosure, IP42). Do not use outdoors in rain or on wet floors.
- Place plates on a firm, level floor. Unstable surfaces can affect readings and increase tip risk.
- Supervise athletes during jumps and landings. Clear the area of trip hazards and bystanders.
- If a plate is damaged, swollen, overheating, or smelling unusual, stop use, unplug charging, and contact support.

03 · Meet your system
WFP-1 is a dual wireless force plate system. Each plate measures how hard you push into the floor. Together they support left/right and dual-stance tests. You run sessions in Well Body Tech (WBT)—no cables between the plates and your tablet during testing.
At a glance
| What you get | Detail |
|---|---|
| Two synchronized plates | Plate A + Plate B for bilateral testing |
| High-rate capture | 1,000 samples per second |
| Well Body Tech (WBT) | Start, stop, zero, calibrate, and review on Android tablets |
| On-plate status lights | Simple color cues for ready, recording, and errors |
| Rechargeable power | USB-C charging with battery level in WBT |
04 · Quick start
1. Place the plates
- Set Plate A and Plate B on a hard, level floor.
- Leave a comfortable stance gap between them (typically shoulder-width for dual stance).
- Keep both plates within about 10 m (33 ft) of each other and of your phone or computer.
2. Power on
- Turn on Plate A, then Plate B (power switch on each plate).
- Wait until status lights finish the boot sequence (about 10–20 seconds).
- Confirm WBT can see battery level for both plates before testing.
3. Open Well Body Tech and connect
- On your Android tablet (10 inch or larger), enable Bluetooth.
- Install or open Well Body Tech from Google Play.
- Select your WFP-1 system when it appears and tap Connect.
- Allow Bluetooth (and nearby-device) permissions if asked.
App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wellbodytech.tablet
4. Zero and start a session
- Make sure nobody is standing on the plates.
- In WBT, tap Zero (or Tare).
- Tap Start to begin recording, then run your test protocol.
- Tap Stop when finished. Review results in WBT.
Only one tablet should connect at a time. If connection fails, close other apps that might be using Bluetooth, then try again. Phone and desktop standalone apps are coming soon.
05 · Everyday use
Best placement
- Use a rigid floor (wood sports floor, concrete, or rigid platform). Soft mats under the plates can distort results.
- Keep the tops clean and dry before each athlete.
- Align Plate A and Plate B so athletes can stand or land consistently session to session.
Zeroing before tests
Always zero with the plates empty. Use WBT’s Zero control. If readings look offset after moving the plates, zero again.
Calibration (when prompted)
Periodic calibration keeps measurements accurate. Follow the WBT calibration wizard: clear plates → place the requested known mass → confirm. Use only calibrated masses your facility trusts. Do not improvise with unknown weights.
Status lights
Each plate has a status light so you can see state at a glance (you can also turn lights off in WBT if preferred).
| Light | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Starting up |
| Pink / magenta (soft pulse) | Ready / idle |
| Dark blue | Recording |
| Green | Calibration in progress or complete |
| Orange (blink) | Stopping / transitioning |
| Red (flash) | Error — check the WBT message |

Tips
- Keep Well Body Tech updated for the latest protocols and fixes.
- Stay within wireless range during a session; walking far away can drop the live link.
- If WBT asks to reconnect after sleep, unlock the tablet and open the app again.
07 · Battery & charging
How to charge
- Plug a standard USB-C phone charger (5 V) into the wall.
- Connect the supplied USB-C cable between the charger and the plate’s charge port.
- Charge each plate as needed. You can charge both at the same time with two adapters.
- Watch charge progress in Well Body Tech (or the plate’s charge indicator, if present).
WFP-1 is designed for everyday 5 V USB-C phone chargers—the same style of wall adapter you use for a phone. A dedicated high-power laptop PD brick is not required.

Good habits
- Charge before busy test days; don’t run sessions to empty mid-block.
- If you won’t use the system for weeks, store around half charge and top up every few months.
- Avoid extreme heat while charging (for example, a closed car in summer).
08 · Troubleshooting
App can’t find the plates
- Confirm both plates are powered on and finished booting.
- Turn Bluetooth off and on on your Android tablet.
- Move closer (within 10 m) and away from dense Wi‑Fi / metal racks if possible.
- Make sure no other tablet is already connected.
- Force-quit Well Body Tech and open it again.
Only one plate shows data
- Check the second plate’s power and battery in WBT.
- Bring Plate B closer to Plate A, then reconnect in WBT.
- Power both plates off and on, Plate A first, then Plate B.
Numbers look wrong
- Clear the plates and tap Zero in WBT.
- Confirm you are not standing on the plates during zero.
- Run the calibration wizard if WBT recommends it.
- Check that the floor under the plates is rigid and level.
Won’t charge
- Try another 5 V USB-C phone charger and cable.
- Inspect the USB-C port for debris; don’t use damaged cables.
- Leave connected for at least 15 minutes, then check the battery reading in WBT.
Red status light
Open Well Body Tech for the error message. Power-cycle the plate. If the light returns, contact support with the message text and approximate time of the issue.
09 · Care & storage
- Wipe the top surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry before the next athlete. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads.
- Do not soak the plates or spray liquid into seams, ports, or vents.
- Carry with two hands; avoid dropping onto corners.
- Store indoors, dry, away from direct sun. For long storage, leave batteries partly charged.
- Use the original packaging or a padded case when shipping or traveling.
