Track Box Passive

The Track Box Passive allows UHF transponder timing with only one small device. The hands-free solution is easy to carry, super fast in setup and managed remotely. With UHF reader, GPS and battery integrated, it is the ideal device for split points, remote timing locations and advanced race visualization.

With its integrated UHF reader, GPS and battery integrated, this is the ideal device for split points, remote timing locations and advanced race visualization. *

Self-sufficient device

The TrackBox Passive is a complete timing sytsem. It can even be connected to a solar panel for permanent installations.

Hands-free solution

Being pre-configured, the device is activated with one click of a button click and now runs autonomously. It needs no further operation by a helper to send detection data for 10-18 hours.

Unmatched dimensions

With a weight of only 1.7kg/3.7lbs, the box can be easily carried to remote locations. Automatic standby mode lets the box preserve energy during the night.

Remote control

Main functionalities can be configured and managed via an online interface.

* The necessary SIM cards are not included in the purchase.

LEDs
Two status LEDs indicate GPS, network and reader status at any time. If a transponder is detected, the LED blinks blue and the box beeps.
SIM Card Slot
You can open the box to insert your own SIM. The integrated LTE modem can now send data to the server-adress you configured. All important settings can be defined with the online configuration or through Track Box Configuration Rules.
RFID Reader
At only 4 watts, the custom RACE RESULT reader has the lowest power consumption on the market. The RAIN UHF Gen2 protocol parameters are tailored specifically for timing applications. The reader is orientation-aware: It automatically switches to standby mode if the box is laid flat facing upwards.
Button (backside)
The device is switched on and off with one button click. The button can be locked via an configuration software.
Mounting options
The box has three magnets integrated. They allow the box to be hung from lampposts or street signs. With the box hanging, the angle can be adjusted to ensure the antenna points directly towards the transponders. It can also be placed on the ground and secured with the provided stakes.
Battery & Charging
The box has three 4000mAh 3,7V Li-Po batteries with a total capacity of 45Wh. Battery life is 10-18 hours in operation and 10 days in standby. With the 12V AC power supply and double charge adapter, two boxes can be charged simultaneously. With the reader in standby, charging time is 6 hours.

The Track Box Passive is set up along the course where the density of participants is not too high. Ideally, the device is installed perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction of travel.
With the optimal setup and transponders worn correctly, you can expect >99% detections within 4 meters range. Transponders up to 25 meters may be detected, but with reduced read rates. Please note: All UHF timing systems need a direct line of sight between transponder and receiving antenna.
The Track Box Passive combines the transponder read with the current GPS position and sends the data via SIM card to a defined server. It is seamlessly integrated into RACE RESULT 12 timing software where it is operated like a conventional timing system.
The configuration of the box is done via online interface. Some parameters can even be changed by sending an SMS to the box. Learn more about the configuration here.
The Track Box Passive is not designed to be used as timing system for start and finish lines. Wherever you require highest precision and rely on a detection, please use a ground antenna.

**UHF operates globally on different frequencies (e.g. Europe 865 - 868 MHz, USA 902-968 MHz, AUS 920-925 MHz) with different detailed regulatory requirements. That is why RACE RESULT provides different versions of the system for different regulatory areas. When operating the passive part of the system in another country, make sure it complies with local regulation.

Track Box Active

With the Track Box, you can provide tracking and timing with the same transponder. Track Boxes placed along the course or on race vehicles receive pings from all tracking-enabled transponders within a 50 m radius and transmit the data live online. You can then use this data to produce live tracking visualisation, and to publish an unprecedented amount of splits.

Receive track pings from Active Transponders in a 50 m radius
Upload GPS tracking data live online
Up to 5 days battery life
Built-in magnets for easy mounting
Practical stack charging

With Tracking Mode activated, the ActivePro V3 sends out pings. RACE RESULT Track Boxes receive these signals and transmit them via mobile network to the timing server. This allows for better athlete tracking without the need for additional tracking devices. The Track Box is also the easiest way to set up split points in remote places.
