Angle of Antenna
To maximize the opportunity to detect transponders, Track Boxes should be setup
perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction of travel. This increases the opportunity to
detect transponders which may be worn incorrectly and also helps to ensure transponders
are detected regardless of the direction of travel.
If Track Boxes are angled to face participants then the transponder can only be detected
when worn visibly on the front, this also increases the distance between antenna and
transponders which may reduce read rates.
Single Box Performance
Although the Track Box may detect passive transponders up to 25m away, long distances
will result in reduced read rates.
When using a single Track Box then the maximum width should be restricted to 4m, this can
offer read rates >99% when setup correctly.
Dual Box Performance
Track Boxes are optimised to be used in pairs with boxes set up on opposing sides of the
Dual Track Box Synchronisation
Nearby boxes communicate with each other using the built-in 2.4Ghz and
automatically synchronise their readers to prevent interference between them.
In this setup then >99% read rate can be achieved at up to 8m wide.
