How Passive Track Boxes Work
Below is some key information about how the Track Box (Passive) works to help maximise
the performance of the device.
Battery & Charging
Battery Life
The Track Box (Passive) contains 4000mAh 3,7V Li-Po batteries with a total capacity of
45Wh, this offers expected battery life between 12-18 hours.
Battery life will be reduced if transponders are continuously in range, since the reader must
process these chip reads and transmit them to the server. For example if a test transponder
is left in the antenna field for the whole day then you should expect shortened battery life.
Battery life can be extended by using
which is further explained in the article
below.
Charging
The Track Box (Passive) uses the same connector type as Loop Boxes and supplied with
the Track Box (Active), an additional splitter is provided allowing 2 Track Boxes to be
charged simultaneously.
Charging time depends on the status of the reader.
Reader OFF (Standby Mode) -
6 hours
Reader ON (Reading Transponders) -
10 hours
The Track Box can only charge when the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
