2. Components of the TIPES® system
Let’s have a closer look at the TIPES
components now. A short overview will give you information
concerning the purpose of each individual unit so that you can easily understand the way the system
works.
The TIPES
-Ring MC 601 / MC 603
In addition to the usual association ring each pigeon that shall be detected and identified by TIPES
needs to wear a TIPES
ring. This very light plastic ring carries an electronic identification circuit
that transmits its electronic ring number to the electronic trap. This electronic ring number enables the
TIPES
system to identify each individual pigeon passing the trap. The manufacturer guarantees that
each electronic ring has a unique number, worldwide. The electronic circuit in the TIPES ring is
additional protected against shock and drop downs through a glass cover.
In addition the TIPES
ring features a special anti-deception circuit. Before each race when the
pigeons are basketed with the master unit (race office unit) the ring electronics will generate a random
number which is rechecked when the arriving pigeon is detected by the electronic trap.
The electronic trap (USTB or normal trap)
The electronic trap offers automatic detection capability for TIPES
rings. The trap is powered from
the MC1100 automatically. Your pigeons will get used to the trap quickly. They will accept entering
the loft through this entrance when they learn that they are no longer caught after racing. Please refer
to the trap mounting instructions for proper setup and installation.
Please note that the driver capabilities have a maximum up to 4 antennas on the USTB connector.
You could check the power consumption by the LED of the end of line connector. Please refer to the
manual of the USTB antennas.
The reading unit
The reading unit (Professional) contains a switch mode power supply and generates all supply
voltages necessary to power the trap(s) as well as the MC 1100. The reading unit (Junior) has an
external power supply that provides all supply voltages necessary to power the trap(s) as well as the
MC 1100. The electronic ring numbers detected by the trap are transferred to the reading unit via the
trap cable that is connected to the trap inputs on the rear of the reading unit. This data is immediately
sent to the MC 1100 which must be connected to the matching connector at the front of the reading
unit:
Note:
If you want to connect more than three traps to your reading unit, then you are
in need of a TIPES
-SUPRA that enables you to connect up to five traps to your
reading unit. With additional TIPES
-SUPRAs you can increase the number of
traps up to 18 ! Please contact your distributor for more information.
The connector for the radio clock located on the rear of the reading unit is only used in
Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. The internal clock of your TIPES
MC 1100 will be
adjusted by the master unit whenever pigeons are basketed.
