Management Box Modes

The Management Box operates in three modes:

Check Mode

This works with the TagTool 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 create a chip file for your events.

To use the Check Mode, proceed as follows:

  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. Press the button until CHECK is shown in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  3. Press and hold the button until only C is displayed instead of CHECK.

To quickly check if you have some Low Battery transponders in your pool, scan the transponders and check if the display shows LBAT: XX. In this case, XX defines how many transponders have a battery voltage of 2.3V or below.

Deep Sleep Mode

To use the Deep Sleep Mode, proceed as follows:

  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 select.
  2. Press the button until DSLEEP is shown in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  3. Press and hold the button until only D is displayed instead of DSLEEP.

To put your transponders into Deep Sleep Mode, proceed as follows:

  1. Turn on your Management Box and set to Deep Sleep Mode.
  2. Arrange your transponders into their trays or a similar arrangement to account for each transponder.
  3. In small sets (your tray of 50 is perfect), wave the Management Box over the transponders. You should continue to wave until all of your transponders are accounted for. This can be easily tracked by checking the count in the top left corner of the display.

To wake transponders from Deep Sleep Mode simply requires the transponder to be scanned by any active device. In Deep Sleep Mode the transponder is less sensitive and requires more hits in order to wake up, so it is recommended to do this before your event to ensure all transponders are woken up. 

Track Mode

The Track mode lets you enable and disable tracking on your transponders.

Select START to activate tracking, or STOP to deactivate it, in the upper left of the Management Box screen.
