Warnings and cautions are indicated by: - the text WARNING or CAUTION, - a description explaining the hazard and how to avoid it, - an icon: 1.4. Where to Operate the System UHF operates globally on different frequencies (e.g. Europe 865-868 MHz, USA 902-968 MHz) with different detailed regulatory requirements. That is why race result provides different versions of the system for different regulatory areas. When operating the passive part of the system in another country, make sure it complies with local regulation. The race result Active System runs on universal frequencies that can be used globally. www.raceresult.com 5

2. DECODER BOX EXPLAINED 2.1. What Does the Decoder Box Do? The race result decoder receives the signals from the transponders through the antennas, and calculates and saves the final detection time, based on a very precise clock and the transponders signal strength when crossing the timing line. It provides these passings (bib number, time, and additional information) to the scoring software such as race result 11 or uploads the data directly to an Internet server. The decoder does not perform further calculations such as calculating the net time, lap times, etc. All this will be done by your scoring software. It also guarantees uninterrupted operation as it runs independently from a computer and external power supply. All passings information is automatically stored on the device. 2.2. Accessing Timing Data The timing data ( detections or passings ) can be retrieved in three different ways: - via the Ethernet interface (see chapter 8) - via the USB port (see chapter 8.4) - When uploading the data through the internal 3G module, the data can be downloaded from the Internet (see chapter 9). 2.3. Case The electronics of the race result decoder are integrated into a solid hard case. Because of the connectors on the front panel, the front panel is not water-proof. Therefore please note: During rain, the lid of the decoder must be closed and locked. Therefore, all cables have to be led through the slot between front panel and lid on the side. When operating the system during hot temperatures (>25 C / 80 F) and located in direct sun light, the lid should not be closed. Otherwise, the system may perform a temperature triggered emergency shutdown. 6 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

2.4. Connectors The decoder box has the following connectors on the front panel: Power: Power supply, 110-240V AC, 50/60Hz. External Battery: Using the enclosed cable, the decoder can be connected to an external battery or a cigarette lighter of a car (see chapter 11). Ethernet: The detections can be read through a network connection (see chapter 8). USB: Using the USB port, the detections can be saved on a USB stick (see chapter 8.4). Audio: Feature Port: The decoder contains an internal beeper, which will give an acoustic signal on each detection. Alternatively, you can connect an external speaker or headphones. The internal beeper will then be turned off. The Feature Port serves to connect additional accessories, including the Active Loop (see chapter 10). Additionally, the decoder box has 8 antenna connectors for the passive UHF antenna on the back (see chapter 3). www.raceresult.com 7

UHF antenna connectors 2.5. Display, Main Screen and Keypad The display has an integrated backlight and is easy to read in both darkness and sunlight. The display shows the following status information: Left Column Count: shows the number of detections since the last start, or No Passings. File No: shows the number of the current passings file, see chapter 5 Upload: shows the status of the server upload, see chapter 9.1 USB: shows the status of the USB stick, see chapter 8.4 8 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

Middle Column Time: shows the running time (can be time of day or race time, see chapter 6) IP: shows the IP address of the system, see chapter 8 Antennas: shows the status of the eight passive antennas, or details of the Active Extension. Battery: shows the state of the internal battery, see chapter 2.6 Right Column Shows the ID of the last 4 transponders detected (or Press START when still in Test Mode, see chapter 5) 2.6. Battery The decoder has an internal lead acid battery of 15Ah capacity which will last a maximum of 8 hours with the passive antenna or 24 hours with the active loop. It can be charged while running, so it is recommended to connect the decoder to external power during the race when available. Charging an empty battery takes approx. 4 hours when the decoder is turned off, and 8 hours when running. The LED Battery Charged on the keypad indicates the battery has been charged by at least 75%. The battery fulfills IATA Special Provisions A48 and A67. The system can hence be handled as common cargo for both air shipment and boat shipment. www.raceresult.com 9

3. PASSIVE UHF ANTENNA SETUP The passive UHF antenna cables connect to the antenna ports on the back of the decoder and are used to detect the race result passive tags. Compared to the active transponders, the passive tags are far less expensive but have less precision and need to be attached (to the race bib, or to an athlete s ankle, shoe or bicycle) in a certain way for reliable detection. race result offers two types of antennas for use with passive tags: the ground antenna, used for almost any type of race (running, triathlon, mountain bike, etc.) or the side antennas, which can be used for a flat finish line (avoiding the slightly raised profile of the ground antenna) or for special applications such as canoe races, skateboard races, etc. Note that the side antennas have two major disadvantages: 1. When several athletes pass the timing line they may block the signal from the antenna as the signal does not go through the human body. In other words, the side antenna should only be used for lowdensity split timing points. 2. Since the antenna field is horizontal and does not have a defined end, tags close to the timing line can be detected easily. That is why the side antennas are not recommended for finish line scenarios when athletes can stand close to the system. In consequence, use the side antennas only when necessary. Note: side antennas may not be available for sale in all regions. 3.1. Ground Antenna When setting up the ground antenna, please carefully follow the instructions in the separate antenna manual. In particular take care of the barrier around the antenna in order to detect only those participants crossing the timing line and not those standing close by the antenna. 3.2. Side Antenna When setting up the side antennas, please carefully follow the instructions in the separate side antenna manual. 3.3. Connecting the Antennas to the Decoder For maximum performance the antennas need to be connected before turning on the decoder since it performs a fine tuning while booting. When connecting the antennas after turning on the decoder, the system still works but the performance may be slightly reduced. 10 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

3.4. Frequency Setup (EU Systems Only) In Europe, UHF has a very small bandwidth, which means two or more systems at one timing point can interfere with each other. When using several European race result Systems at the same timing point, different frequencies should be set in order to reduce interferences. In the Frequency menu, you can chose between an Auto mode, frequency A and frequency B. Please see recommended frequency settings in the graphics below. Auto B Just one System Main + Backup System A 3.5. Antenna Indicator on the Display The display will show a block ( - or A/B if one of these frequencies has been selected, see above) for an antenna port if an antenna is connected, or an X if no antenna is connected or if the antenna is broken: The left-to-right order of the antenna indicators mirrors the left-to-right order of the ports on the back (or right-to-left when looking from the rear). When an antenna detects a tag, the symbol will switch to an O for the duration of one second. www.raceresult.com 11

4. ACTIVE LOOP SETUP The active transponder is a very different technology compared to the passive tags. Active means that the transponder has a battery and is thus more powerful, has more features and higher precision. Most of the time the transponder is sleeping, but when in close proximity to a race result loop, the 125kHz signal from the loop will wake up the transponder. It starts analyzing the 125kHz signal and if it stems from a race result loop, it will turn on its microcontroller which analyzes the signal strength from the loop, calculates the time when it crossed the center of the loop, and transmits this information on a 2.4GHz channel to the decoder. When the decoder acknowledges that the data has been received, the transponder goes back to sleep. 4.1. General Setup 4.1.1. Active Extension The active system is set-up by 1) connecting the Active Extension to the Feature Port of the main decoder, and 2) connecting the cable loop to the Active Extension. Note: the system will automatically detect the Active Extension; no further configuration required. 12 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

4.1.2. USB Timing Box The USB Timing Box is set-up by 1) connecting the cable loop to the USB Loop Box, and 2) connecting the USB LoopBox to your computer using the provided USB cable. 4.1.3. LoopBox The LoopBox is set-up by connecting the cable loop to the LoopBox. Ensure it is full charged before use. 4.2. Setting up the Cable Loop In most cases the cable loop will be laid on the ground and either taped down with duct tape or covered by a mat. Make sure that the loop forms a rectangle with 30 60cm width. If you require higher precision, the loop should be narrower, and greater care must be taken to set up the loop precisely. Note that 0.01 second means only 5cm distance at 70km/h. So when fixing the loop a few centimeters askew, this will have a negative effect on precision. A wider loop, on the other hand, will result in higher read height but less precision. 4.3. Loop Power Depending on the type of sport, choose an appropriate value for Loop Power. For example for cycling (high precision needed, transponder fixed on the bike, thus close to the loop) choose a low value like 20%. However, if participants wear the transponder on the wrist and can finish with their arms raised, choose a high loop power like 80% or 100%. Depending on what materials happen to be underground at the timing point, the maximal read height with 100% loop power is 2-2.5 meters. Metal in the ground will reduce the read height. Note that the read height is independent from the loop length. The system automatically determines the length of the loop and adapts the real power on the loop accordingly, so that the same percentage value should always result in roughly the same read height. 4.4. Channel ID setup The back channel from the transponder to the decoder operates on 2.4 GHz which is a worldwide public band also used for many purposes, such as Wi-Fi. Within this band, the active system can use 8 different frequency channels. When the loop activates the transponder, it also encodes the channel ID on the loop signal so that the transponder knows on which channel the decoder is listening for the reply from the transponder. For the Active Extension, by default the Channel ID should be set to auto. In this case, the system performs a channel survey when turned on and selects the channel used the least in order to avoid interferences between the active system and other devices. Note that Even if a channel is heavily used by Wi-Fi there would still be sufficient gaps to operate the active system on the same channel. Auto mode will usually select channel 1 because this channel is not used by Wi-Fi and is often completely free. www.raceresult.com 13

If necessary, a different channel can be selected on the decoder for the Active Extension. The system will first perform a channel survey and then show the channels and their qualities. For the USB Timing Box and LoopBox, any channel can be chosen. Advanced Users should consult chapter 18 for the LoopBox channel inspector. 4.5. Loop ID Setup When activating a transponder, the loop also transmits a loop ID. When transmitting the detection back to the decoder, the transponder will also transmit this loop ID. This way, several active systems can run on the same channel: decoders within an area will hear the detections from all loops but only process those from transponders that have been activated by their own loop. The main finish line loop should always have a Loop ID of 1. This is the designator that this LoopBox is the central timing point. The wireless communications work in a Point-To-Multi-Point communication scheme. When there are LoopBoxes working in Repeat mode, the central timing point will acknowledge the passing being received. Similar to the channel ID, the loop ID can be set in the menus of the Active System. The Active Extension normally runs in an auto mode. race result s Active Extension, USB Timing Box, and LoopBox, each sends out a status beacon every second on their Repeat channel. When turning on an Active Extension decoder with auto loop mode, it will listen a few seconds for the signals from the other decoders and then select an unused loop ID. The auto loop mode is easy to use and fool-proof, but it may make sense to assign fixed loop IDs so that you immediately know which loop ID belongs to which decoder. Make sure not to assign a loop ID twice otherwise you will receive the detections on both decoders (when running on the same channel). Similarly with the USB Timing Box and LoopBox, if you accidently select a Loop ID which is already being used, the Loop ID will flash between the occupied Loop ID and an X. The example below shows a LoopBox at a split point, set in Repeat mode, with Loop ID 2 attempting to be selected. Another split point has been assigned this ID, so it cannot be used. 4.6. Possible Loop Issues The Active Extension monitors the status of the loop constantly and can report the following loop issues which will be shown in the display of the decoder: Loop Error: Loop Limit: Overflow: The loop is not connected anymore or has been cut. This error will be signaled by the decoder with a long beep sound. The system cannot provide enough power for the selected loop power. Either the cable is too long or too thin. Transponders are being detected faster than they can be transmitted from the Active Extension to the main decoder (~50 per second). The Active Extension has an internal buffer for 1000 detections. Should this buffer be full detections will get lost and the decoder will show the Overflow error. 14 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

5. TEST MODE AND TIMING MODE 5.1. Test Mode After booting, the decoder is in test mode, i.e. it does not store any detections. Instead, it steadily beeps/blinks when seeing a transponder. This way: - the setup of the system can be checked easily to make sure it detects as expected - You do not need to filter any detections in the scoring software from athletes warm-up before the race. 5.2. Timing Mode The timing mode will be started when pressing the START button on the key pad. If not running on day time/gps time, the time will start from 0:00:00 and the decoder will immediately start processing and recording every tag passing the antenna. 5.3. Stopping Timing Mode The timing mode can be stopped by pressing the Cancel button or by selecting the entry Stop Timing in the menu. The system will then be back in Test Mode. Next time the Timing Mode is started, the system creates a new file for the detections, indicated by a new file number on the main screen. Note that: - Through the Ethernet interface, only detections from the current file can be read. - All (old) files can be accessed any time through the browser (chapter 12) or USB stick (chapter 8.4). 5.4. Marker When pressing the START button again in Timing Mode, an additional marker will be created. A marker is a fake detection with a certain bib number which can be used in the scoring software, e.g. to indicate the start of a second start wave. In the Feature Port menu the bib number of the fake detection can be defined. There also is an option to increase this number every time a marker has been created. Markers can also be set using feature port accessories (e.g. push button, light barrier, see chapter 10). 5.5. Startup Options In the System menu the Startup option can be set to GPS time & activate to switch to Timing Mode using GPS time immediately after booting. www.raceresult.com 15

6. TIME SETUP 6.1. How to Set Decoder Time While in Test Mode (see chapter 5) the time of the decoder can be set via the Time menu. The following options are available: Set Running Time: Set Start Time: Set GPS Time: The time entered will be set and start running even while being in Test Mode. This option is usually used to set the clock time / time of day. The time entered will be set, but will not start running before starting the Timing Mode. This option is usually used to set the time to 0:00:00. When using this option the system will try to receive the precise time from a GPS satellite. It may be that the GPS signal cannot be received inside buildings and under trees. In this case the system will show an error message after 15 seconds. 6.2. Start-up Options In the System menu you can enable the Set GPS Time start-up option. In that case the decoder will set the GPS time after finishing booting (if reception is sufficient). 16 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

7. DETECTION SETUP 7.1. Dead Time The Dead Time in the Detection menu defines the minimum time between two reads of the same chip. After a chip read, more reads of the same chip will be ignored for the duration of the dead time. The default value is 5000ms. It can be set to value between 0 and 9999ms. In addition to the dead time in the system, a higher double detection time out (e.g. 30 seconds) may be set in the scoring software. 7.2. Reaction Time As a chip approaches the ground antenna, the race result System monitors the signal strength of the chip. After it passes over the antenna, the system records the time of the highest signal strength, which is expected to be directly above the antenna. The Reaction Time in the Detection menu defines for how much longer a (passive) chip will be monitored after the last signal strength peak before providing the final time. When increasing the reaction time, the calculated finish times will be more precise but it takes longer until the system can provide this time. When using a small reaction time, the system can return the detection very quickly, but the precision will be reduced. The default value is 500ms. If necessary, this value can be decreased for fast races (e.g. mountain bike) and increased for slow races (e.g. children). 7.3. Beep / Blink The On Detection setting in the Detection menu defines if the decoder shall blink and/or beep upon a detection. Note that there is a beep / blink queue of length 5. If more than 5 athletes are being detected at the same time, the system will beep/blink only five times. If 5 or less athletes are being detected at the same time, the system will beep / blink several times with a short delay so that you can verify the number of detections easily. www.raceresult.com 17

8. ETHERNET CONNECTION & SETUP 8.1. Basics The Ethernet connection is the recommended connection type to read out live data from the system during the race. The system can be connected directly to a computer using a standard patch cable or cross-over cable, or be integrated in a local network using a switch or router. The race result System offers two Ethernet ports and both ports can be used to connect to a computer/switch. The additional port can be used, for example, to connect to another race result System (loop through). Both Ethernet ports and the race result System itself are connected via an internal switch. Please consider the following basics: Each device in an Ethernet network has an address, called the IP address. Each device in a network needs to have a unique address. Do not use the same IP address twice. An IP address consists of 4 number blocks (each having a value between 0 and 255) separated by a period, e.g. 192.168.1.100 In local networks, IP addresses usually start with 192.168.x.x (this is a reserved address space not used in the Internet). When two devices in a local network (e.g. computer and timing system) want to communicate with each other, they need to be in the same subnet, i.e. they need to have the same first three blocks of the IP address (but different fourth block!), e.g. Timing System: 192.168.1.201 Computer 1: 192.168.1.101 Computer 2: 192.168.1.102 When connecting a device to your local network at home, your Internet router will automatically assign IP addresses using a technique called DHCP. However, when operating the system without a router (e.g. direct connection between computer and system, or local network using a switch), static IP addresses need to be assigned to both the timing system and computer. If you don t know how to set a static IP address on your computer, please search Google how to set up ip address on windows [version] which will show you manuals and YouTube tutorials. 8.2. Defining Ethernet Parameters The parameters of the Ethernet connection can be defined in the Network menu. By default, it is set to DHCP so that the system retrieves a dynamic IP address from a router/dhcp server in your network. For race timing it may be better to assign fixed IP addresses to each system. For that, simply turn off DHCP and enter the IP address manually (you can also set the subnet mask, standard gateway and DNS server which will be necessary when the decoder needs to access the Internet, e.g. for a firmware update). 8.3. Using the Ethernet Connection When using the race result 11 software, the data can be read out easily using the Transponder Module. When using other software, please refer to the Communication Protocol at: https://www.raceresult.com/fw/support/documents/rrs_protocol.pdf 18 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

8.4. USB Connection The USB port serves to save the detection files on a USB stick. This can be done either after the race or live during the race. When plugging in a USB stick, the decoder will show a message that a stick has been detected and will copy all existing passing files to the stick. A separate folder named by the decoder ID will be created on it. If a USB stick is plugged in during the race, the system will save the new detections every few seconds on the stick. This can serve as an additional backup: theoretically, even if the decoder had burnt down, the passing data is still stored on the USB stick which can be pulled out. Please do not remove the stick while the system is in Timing Mode. This may destroy the file system on the stick. For the data format of the passing files, please refer to Appendix 1. www.raceresult.com 19

9. 3G MODULE The integrated 3G module can be used to upload the detection data to a race result data base in the Internet. The data can then be downloaded from any place with an Internet connection. In other words, this is an easy way to connect remote timing points. 9.1. Upload To upload the detections using the 3G module proceed as follows: 1. Insert your SIM card in the SIM card slot. 2. Go to the menu Upload. 3. Enter your customer number, the PIN of your SIM card, and select connection 2G/3G. 4. Set the option Enabled to yes. Alternatively, you can also upload the data via an Ethernet connection with Internet connectivity. Therefore, choose Ethernet for the Connection option. Make sure that standard gateway and DNS server are set correctly or turn on DHCP (see chapter 8). From now on, the main screen will show the status of the upload. 9.2. Download When using the race result software, you can download the passing data in the Transponder Module using the connection type race result System Online. Otherwise, the passing data can be accessed using this link: https://data.raceresult.com/interface/passings/v2/getsystempassings.php? user=user&pw=password&device=device&file=file_number The italic parts must be replaced as follows: user: your customer number as specified in the upload settings password: password of your customer account device: serial number of your race result decoder, e.g. D-5001 file_number: the current file number as shown on the display of the race result decoder. In order to download only a part of the file, add the parameter minid. The ID is the first column of the data returned. Thus, it is recommend using the last value plus one for the minid parameter. https://data.raceresult.com/interface/passings/v2/getsystempassings.php?u ser=user&pw=password&device=device&file=file_number&minid=minid The data format is described in Appendix 1. More information can be found on using the Online Storage API at this link: https://www.raceresult.com/fw/support/documents/online-storage-api.pdf 20 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

10. FEATURE PORT The feature port serves to connect any type of accessories to the race result System. It provides ground, +12V, +5V, RX and TX. Besides the Active Extension (see chapter 4) there are several accessories (see below). The pins on the feature port are used as follows: 1: +4,8V output (5V - Shottky diode) 2: +11V-15V (unfused! two way!) 3: TXD 3,3V TTL 4: RXD 3,3V TTL internal Pull Up 10k 5: IO Digital Trigger - max 3,3V SHIELD = GND Connect non-race result equipment at your own risk! Short circuits will damage the system. Only use original Neutrik connectors, cheap connectors do not connect GND reliably. 10.1. Start/Marker Push Button The Start/Marker Push Button is an extended START button. Instead of the button on the keypad, the button at the end of the cable can be pressed to start the timing mode or to set markers. For events with many starts or single start it may be easier to push the button instead of pressing the keypad button on the decoder on the ground. The Start/Marker Push Button is available as accessory in the raceresult.com shop. 10.2. Light Barrier Using the extension cable (available in the raceresult.com shop) an ALGE or Tag Heuer light barrier can be connected to the race result System. If only one athlete can cross the timing line at a time, the light barrier will be used to keep the time and the transponder will be used for the identification. The light barrier can be positioned either before or after the detection line. The mode can be defined in the Feature Port menu. When using one of these modes, the large LED of the system will light while the first but not the second information has been received. 10.3. Wi-Fi Bridge Set The Wi-Fi Bridge Set can be used to connect the race result System to a Wi- Fi network. The bridge will be connected to the Ethernet port and powered through the feature port. Note: powering the Wi-Fi Bridge Set via the feature port reduces the battery run time by approximately 1 hour.

11. EXTERNAL BATTERY PORT The internal battery of the race result System lasts for approximately 8 hours (passive ground antenna), or 24 hours (active loop). The external battery port can be used to connect a larger battery or a car (via the cigarette lighter) for longer uptimes without another power supply. When determining the necessary size of a battery, calculate with a power consumption of 2 A using the passive antenna and 500mA using the active loop. The system is sold with a special cable with XLR connector for the decoder on one end and a car connector on the other end. The pins are used as follows: 1: GND 2: +12V Input (10A Fuse) 3: NC SHIELD = GND Note that the external battery does not charge the internal battery, but instead power will be taken from both batteries, internal and external, at the same time. 22 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

12. BROWSER ACCESS You can easily access the decoder by entering the IP address in your browser, e.g. http://192.168.1.43 In the browser you can: - Access all (old) passing files. Note that you cannot delete passing files. When the internal memory of 85 MB is full (it can save over 1 million detections), the oldest files will be deleted automatically. - Set the time zone - Set special 2G/3G settings - Check the status of connected LoopBoxes www.raceresult.com 23

14. USB TIMING BOX race result s USB Timing Box allows you to replace Decoder Boxes with a single USB connection to your PC. The USB Timing Box is used best to time sporting events, to scan tags at race pack pick-up, or for just about any other application: the open-source software of the USB Timing Box allows you to develop any solution that may have nothing to do with sports timing. The USB Timing Box, in its most basic use, times the finish times for your event. It can also be used for more complicated races such as a small to medium sized triathlon. The USB Timing Box is compatible with our LoopBox where the USB Timing Box can receive passings from a LoopBox in Repeat Mode. The USB Timing Box does not include with additional functionality such as a 3G connection or GPS Time Synchronization. The USB Timing box easily connects with the race result Transponder module. Your PC should have the appropriate USB drivers to connect to the USB Timing Box. If this not be the case, please download and extract the following ZIP file, navigate through the folders Drivers/Active Tag Reader, and install the driver. https://www.raceresult.com/download/tagreaderkeyboard_2.5.0.zip Some PCs may require you to install these as an Administrator user. Furthermore, to operate the TagReaderKeyboard tool as a keyboard emulator, you need to run the program as Administrator. You can easily change this in the program after opening it, but ticking the appropriate box under Settings. The USB Timing Box operates in two modes: 14.1. Timing Mode In this mode, the USB Timing Box operates like a Decoder and Active Extension it reads the transponders as they pass over the Active Loop and are read by your computer. It can act as a base station for a LoopBox where is received repeated passings. It can also read stored passings from ActivePro transponders. The USB Timing Box should be set to Loop ID 1 if this is the case. 14.2. Scan Mode In this mode, the USB Timing Box works with the TagReaderKeyboard on your computer. You can compile a list of your transponders, check the battery level of the transponders, and make a chip file for your events. www.raceresult.com 25

15. ACTIVE LOOPBOX V2 The LoopBox is an additional stand-alone device which activates the active transponder, but does not process the data of the transponders. In this section, the USB Timing Box and Active Extension will be referred to as the main loop. There are two use cases: 15.1. Repeat Mode In this mode, the LoopBox activates the transponder, receives its data and sends (repeats) it to the main loop. This is an easy way to realize several timing points within an area, e.g. a triathlon finish, transition in and transition out. The maximum distance between LoopBox and Active Extension can be up to 900m depending on conditions. Split time loop 1 Main Loop Split time loop 3 Split time loop 2 Note that the LoopBox has an internal buffer for 1000 detections. Even if the connection between LoopBox and the main loop is interrupted, the detections will not be lost: once the connection is recovered, the LoopBox will transmit the buffered detections. Thanks to the precise internal clock of the LoopBox, the detection time will still be correct and precise. For the communication between LoopBox and the main loop please note: LoopBox and the main loop need to run on the same channel (see chapter 16.2). It is recommended that you select a fixed channel on the main decoder instead of using the auto mode. The main loop that will receive the detections from the LoopBox(es) must have loop ID 1. This way the LoopBoxes know where to send the data even if several systems are present. See section 13.4.1 to setup your system in this way. 26 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

If the ActivePro transponder is unable to send its passing to the LoopBox at a particular passing, it will then store the passing instead. This backup method is the same as though the loop was in Store mode. This passings that was not send, will be sent as a stored passing at the next passing of a Repeat loop, or a USB Timing Box or Active Extension loop. 15.2. Store Mode This mode only works with the ActivePro transponder! In this mode, the ActivePro transponder will be activated by the LoopBox, but instead of transmitting the detection data, it will start its internal clock and thus know the time since it had been activated. This internal clock runs for a maximum of 24 hours (detections will be deleted afterwards) and a maximum of 64 detections can be saved. When being activated by a real active system, the transponder will transmit not only the new detection but also all stored detections. For example for a MTB downhill race, a LoopBox at the start could activate the transponder, and at the finish two detections will be received: start time and finish time. Start Loop Finish Loop The LoopBox is a very easy way to make sure athletes have passed several check points: Simply put a LoopBox at every check point and at the finish the transponder will transmit the detections from all the check points. Note that the internal clock of the ActivePro transponder is only as precise as the clock on your wrist. It can have deviations of up to 5 seconds per day. High deviations between different chips may occur when they are being used with very different environmental temperatures. At the same time note that a deviation of 5 seconds per day, equals a deviation of only 0.03 seconds in 10 minutes. See section 13.4.2 to setup your system in this way. 15.3. LoopBox Time Note that the LoopBox and the ActivePro transponder do have an internal clock, but do not need to have the precise time. They simply tell the main loop how much time has elapsed since the detection occurred. The main loop will then calculate the detection time by subtracting this offset from its current time. www.raceresult.com 27

16. CONFIGURING THE LOOPBOX AND USB TIMING BOX 16.1. Turning on the system To turn the system on, press and hold the button until the centre red LED turns off, and a boot screen is displayed. The USB Timing Box will also switch on when it is plugged into a USB port. An example of this is below. The system will then proceed into operation. When using the USB Timing Box, you should see one of the examples below. USB Timing Box when it is in Timing mode, when connected via USB to a computer. The moving icon in the top right corner indicates that a Loop is connected. The bottom right section of the screen will flash between these two screens. The top screen shows the battery indicator. The bottom screen shows the USB voltage. A range between 5.0V and 4.5V is good. USB Timing Box when it is timing, on battery power. The 19h displayed in the bottom right corner indicates the time until zero battery in hours. USB Timing Box when it is in Scan mode, when connected via USB to a computer. This will happen if the TagReaderKeyboard application is open. The number 0001 indicates the number of tags scanned since it has been turned on. ALYFR84 indicates the last transponder seen by the USB Timing Box. When using the LoopBox, the first two examples apply, with T being replaced with an R (for Repeat), S (for Store) or I (for impulse). The voltage indicator will also be somewhere between 10V and 15V. The USB Timing Box cannot be switched off if it is plugged into power. To turn off, press the button once. The screen will display the following: Press the button again to turn off. 28 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

16.2. Navigating the menus All LoopBoxes can be configured by pressing the button for 2 seconds. The first of the four settings will start blinking and can be changed by pressing the button again. By pressing the button again for 2 seconds, the setting will be confirmed and the next setting can be changed. To exit navigating menus, continue holding down the button until the display looks similar to what is above. Example of screen on USB Timing Box when a setting is being changed. In this example, the Loop ID is being changed. The solid segment will be flashing to indicate which setting is being changed. 16.3. Configuration of USB Timing Box for the Finish Line The Tag Reader Keyboard Tool allows you to easily change the loop power, update firmware, and check the COM port number. The COM port number is required for a timing point connection in the Transponder Module. The Keyboard Tool and the Transponder Module cannot connect to the USB Timing Box at the same time. Alternatively, the loop power, and channel and loop ID of the USB Timing Box can be chosen using the push button. To use the USB Timing Box as the main finish line system, proceed as follows: 1. Ensure the USB Timing box is in TIME mode. Change this by selecting the option in the bottom right corner of the screen, and press the button until this section says TIME. 2. Set the loop ID 1 and select a channel ID. This is an example of screen on a USB Timing Box setup as the main LoopBox, as indicated by the Loop ID being set to 1. A channel ID of 8 is selected. The channel selected will be used for each box. 16.4. Configuration of the LoopBox v2 for Split Points 16.4.1. Repeat Mode To use the Repeat Mode, proceed as follows: 1. Set the loop ID of the LoopBox to a value not used yet. 2. Set the channel ID to the same channel as used by the main active system. 3. Make sure the LoopBox mode is set to Repeat, by selecting the bottom right section of the menu screen, and pressing the button until it says Repeat. This is an example screen on LoopBox when configured in Repeat mode, with the channel ID of the finish line as 8. The symbol in the bottom left corner of the screen indicates it can hear the main finish line system, and is part of the repeat network of Loop Boxes. www.raceresult.com 29

16.4.2. Store Mode To use the Store Mode, proceed as follows: 1. Set the loop ID of the LoopBox to a value not used yet (in order to identify detections from this LoopBox). 2. Make sure the LoopBox mode is set to Store (instead of Repeat). This is an example screen on LoopBox when configured in Store mode. 16.5. How to Receive LoopBox Data using race result 11 When using one or more LoopBoxes, the detections from several timing points will be received through the one and only main race result System with Active Extension or USB Timing Box, and thus come into the Transponder Module through one connection. Probably, detections from a certain loop shall be assigned to a certain Timing Point in the software. By using the Special Rules in the Transponder Module, the detections can be routed to different Timing Points depending on the loop ID/channel ID. Ensure that the TagKeyboardReader is not open when the Transponder Module is connecting with the USB Timing Box. As they use virtual COM ports to connect to the USB Timing Box, it cannot connect to two applications at the same time. 30 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

17. CHANNEL INSPECTOR FOR USB TIMING BOX, LOOP BOX, AND MANAGEMENT BOX ADVANCED USERS ONLY The channel inspector on the USB Timing Box and LoopBox allows advanced users to check their Channel ID for interference. This could be important for large scale events where, for example, television crews are also occupying channels you are transmitting on. To launch and use the Channel Inspector: 1. Ensure the device is switched off. 2. Press and hold the button, and continue to hold the button until the following screen is shown. 3. Wave a transponder over the Active Loop. 4. You should now see something similar to the following screen. Below is a description of each of the indicators on the screen. Location on screen Description Target B/T Top left Indicates from what source the values on the screen N/A are calculated from. B = Beacon, T = Transponder RSSI Top center Received Signal Strength Indicator measure of >50 received signal power LQI Top right Link Quality Indicator measure of quality of link >25 CH# Bottom left Channel ID N/A NOISE Bottom right Noise level of channel <10 5. Press the button to cycle through the channels Wave a transponder over the loop each time. 6. Note the channel with the best LQI value for later use. 7. Press and hold the button until the boot screen appears on the display. Release the button, and the system will return to normal operation. www.raceresult.com 31

18. MANAGEMENT BOX The Management Box is a key piece of equipment for efficiently managing your Active Pro transponders. It allows you to place your ActivePro transponders into deep sleep mode which can save 40% of the energy used by the transponders. The Management Box easily connects with race result s TagKeyboardReader Tool. Your PC should have the appropriate USB drivers to connect to the USB Timing Box. If this not be the case, please download and extract the following ZIP file to install them (stored in the directory./drivers/active Tag Reader). https://www.raceresult.com/download/tagreaderkeyboard_2.5.0.zip Some PCs may require you to install these as an Administrator user. 18.1. Turning on the Management Box To turn the system on, press and hold the button until the center red LED turns off, and a boot screen is displayed. The Management Box will also switch on when it is plugged into a USB port. An example of this is below. The system will then proceed into operation. The Management Box cannot be switched off if it is plugged into power. To turn off, press the button once. The screen will display the following: Press the button again to turn off. The screens on the Management Box are similar to the USB Timing Box in Scan mode (see section 14.1 for more details). The Management Box operates in two modes: 18.2. Check Mode This works with the TagReaderKeyboard on your computer like the USB Timing Box. Here you can compile a list of your transponders, check the battery level of the transponders, and make a chip file for your events. To use the Check Mode, proceed as follows: 32 race result AG Haid-und-Neu-Straße 7 76131 Karlsruhe Germany

1. Press and hold the button to configure the Management Box. Continue to hold the button until the item in the bottom right corner of the screen is selected. 2.
