Kiosk (FW2.6 and above)

Kiosk is intended for when the Management Box should be used for short range applications such as race pack collection or transponder assignments. In Kiosk mode the 2.4Ghz sensitivty is greatly reduced and it is anticipated that only detections from transpodners within ~30 cm of the device will be received. 

Note that the 2.4Ghz antenna must be connected in order to use Kiosk mode, without the antenna then the sensitivity will be too low to receive any detections. 

Check

Check mode primarily works with TagTool on your computer running on your computer. Here you can compile a list of your transponders, check the battery level of the transponders, and create a chip file for your events.

When in Check mode, the management box will only send a single detection for each transponder code until the device is restarted, note however that the device LED may blink multiple times for each detection. 

Check mode can be used to quickly check for any 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

Deep Sleep mode is used to activate Deep Sleep on transponders which lowers their sensitivity thus preserving battery life. 

To ensure all transponders are properly set it is recommended to arrange your transponders in to trays of a known quantity, scanning each tray individually and cross reference the counter 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

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

In the upper left corner of the display you can switch between START to activate tracking, or STOP to deactivate it.
