The RACE RESULT passive transponders are encrypted and specially coded to work with RACE RESULT systems. Coding with a unique bib number is possible with up to 7-digit numbers – the highest permissible number is therefore 9,999,999.
For other systems it will be necessary to generate a chip file using the unique transponder code, we cannot produce transponders with specific chip codes for any third party system.
Bib number with transponder
What's the difference between single and duo bib numbers?
Single bib numbers come with only one transponder on them, duo come with a pair of transponders.
Generally, we recommend having a redundancy in your main timing setup, so either one system with duo bib numbers, or two systems with single bib numbers.
Bib numbers with transponder in 230 x 200 mm or custom format?
A5 is not big enough? You wish to get larger bib numbers?
In this case, we offer bib numbers with the format 230 x 200 mm.
More information about the configuration in the online shop can be found here.
Please note that the maximum dimensions are 210 x 297 mm. Should you need an even larger format, please contact us via shop@raceresult.com.
Transponders on Roll (for self-adhesive)
How should I stick the transponders on the bibs?
To work with RACE RESULT antennas the transponders must be stuck vertical and there should be at least 10 cm between two transponders
What is the difference between Transponders with foam spacer and Simple Transponders?
Bib transponders are made for running events or other events where the bib is worn close to the body. The foam spacer on the bib is there to provide some distance between the transponder and the human body, as the human body is made of about 70 % water, which absorbs the radio frequencies used in timing systems.
The simple tags are for applications away from the human body, i.e. on bike race numbers.
What is the size of the Transponder?
Transponder with foam: 108 x 27 mm
Simple Transponder without foam: 105 x 25 mm
Can I request certain letter codes for the "1000 RACE RESULT A-Z Bib Transponders"?
The "A-Z Bib Transponders" come on rolls of 1000 transponders. These do not contain the bib number, but instead a chip code, e.g. P-1 to P-1000.
You will need a chip file in your software!
If you need a certain prefix, please leave a comment in the order, otherwise you will receive a letter prefix at random. The prefix always consists of one letter only.
How do "1000 RACE RESULT Raw-Transponder" work, and how are they used?
Each transponder contains a unique code. Programming with the final race number can only be done using the Chip2Go.
Recycling of Transponders
According to the ElektroG (German Electronics Law), UHF-Transponders are defined as electronics.
To save resources these should no longer be disposed of in the regular household trash. You can deposit your used transponders at any electronics recycle collection center. These are usually located at waste management and recycling centers as well as big electronics stores, where all electronics will be recycled and converted for reuse.
Please follow your country's local government laws for recycling and disposal of all electronics.
