What accuracy does your race require?

0.2seconds

Standard accuracy

0.004seconds

Highest accuracy

You can use passive timing technology if your race does not require an accuracy higher than 0.2 seconds (1.7 meters at 30 km/h). Passive transponders are low-cost and convenient. Some versions are disposable - you don't need to collect them after the race.
The active solution offers a much higher accuracy of up to 0.004 seconds (4 cm at 30 km/h), the transponders are pricier, but reusable for several years.

Are there any restrictions against a 2 cm thick ground antenna?

No restrictions

Avoid Ground Antenna

Our foldable ground antenna is 2 cm thick. At high finish line speeds, this may cause issues for road bikes.

Are start and finish close-by (within a 500 m range)?

Yes

How many split timing points does your track have?

Splits are intermediate measuring points, not including the start and finish line.

Do you want the split times to be transmitted live or when the participant arrives at the finish line?

Live splits data*

No live data required

* Live data transmission requires cell coverage or a different internet connection at the split point.

What type of event do you plan to time?

Ski Downhill / Snowboard

Cross Country Skiing

Biathlon

Speed Skating / Short Track

Sled Dog Racing

Ski Mountaineering

Other

How would you like your start times?

Live available*

Transmitted at the finish line

* Live data transmission requires cell coverage or a different internet connection at the start.

How many timing points does your race have?

Please select the total number of timing points here, including start and finish.

Are you looking for purchase or rental options?

Don't know

Are any timing points close together (within the range of 500 m)?

Yes

Can you place the 'swim out' timing point min. 10 meters apart from the water-exit?

Yes

What type of event do you plan to time?

Road Race

Trail Run

Mud/Obstacle Run

Other

Please provide us with a short description of the race:

Can you recognize the faces of the participants (despite mud)?

Yes

How many participants do you expect at your race?

Do you have any timing points directly after water (within 5-10m)?

Yes

Don't know

Are start and finish at the same location?

Same location

Different location

Do you want to time with net time or gun time?

Gun time

Net time

Net Time: Every participant gets his individual start time - the moment when he crosses the start line.
Gun Time: Every participant gets the same start time - the moment of the gun shot.

How many splits do you have?

Splits are intermediate measuring points along the course, not including the start and finish line (e.g., the 10 k split at a 42 k marathon race).

Do you prefer to use disposable transponders?

Yes

Disposable transponders will not be collected after the race. The initial investment is lower.
Reusable transponders need to be collected from participants after the race. The initial investment is higher, but the transponder can be used repeatedly.

Do you prefer to use disposable transponders?

Yes

Disposable transponders are attached to the back of the bib and will not be collected after the race. The initial investment is lower.
Reusable transponders are worn around the ankle and need to be collected from participants after the race.

Which vehicles are racing?

Car

Motorcycle

Kart

Buggy

On which surface will the race take place?

Tarmac/ Concrete

Off-road

How wide is the track at the timing points?

Less than 5 m

5 – 10 m

More than 10 m

What top speed do you expect at the timing point(s)?

20 160

?? mph

Can you run a loop cable under the track for timing?

Yes

The loop cable is a thin wire, that is laid out as a rectangle at timing points. For motorsports, it is typically placed under/inside the track surface. For those loops, some tracks have pre-installed pipes or a groove milled into the surface.

Please describe briefly where you want to place the transponders:

The transponder position on some vehicles is fixed, due to construction or regulations. If there is no fixed position given, we can advise you on different scenarios to create the best timing data.

Active Timing Solution

Active timing technology is best suited for Cycling, Triathlons, Motorsports, Inline Skating, Ski and Mud Races. It offers highest precision at high speeds and more resistance to water/moisture. All active transponders are reusable.

Passive Timing Solution (UHF)

Passive timing technology is the right solution for mass events like Running, Marathon, MTB Races, Triathlons or Trail runs. Passive transponders on bibs and on roll are disposable products. HuTag are reusable.

The new Ubidium Ground Antenna is expected to be available from 2024. Until then, our Decoder 5000s with its ground antenna remains our recommendation for passive timing.
