Loop Box

The stand-alone Loop Box is a revolutionary new way to collect split times. At nearby split timing points detections are repeated wirelessly to the main system. In case of remote timing points, the ActivePro Transponder saves the passing time and then transmits them when arriving at the finish.

The Loop Box can be operated in Store Mode or Repeat Mode:

Store Mode
The ActivePro V3 saves up to 64 split times in Store Mode and transmits them at the next timing system:

Repeat Mode
If the split point is within 500 meters of the main timing system, all timing data is transmitted in real-time wirelessly from the Loop Box to Ubidium. The Repeat Mode is the smartest solution for triathlon transition zones:

Easy setup

No wiring needed between main system and split timing points

Stand-alone

With its internal battery the Loop Box can run for 12-20 hours.

3.5 mm input-/output-plug

Audio output or start impulse input

Repeat mode range

up to 900 m

Small investment

For an additional timing point you only need a Loop Box instead of a complete timing system.

USB Timing Box

The USB timing box is the handy alternative to the Active System. It is connected directly to the PC and does not need a Decoder. Thanks to the internal memory battery, 100 % reliable timing can still be maintained if the computer should fail. The USB Timing Box can be combined with loop boxes.

Directly connected to a computer, the USB Timing Box is a complete timing system and does not require a decoder.
The USB Timing Box is used best to time sporting events, to scan tags at race pack pick-up, or for just about any other application. The open-source software of the USB Box allows you to develop any solution that may have nothing to do with sports timing.

Management Box

The Management Box is a key component of the tracking solution, as it is required to activate and deactivate tracking on V2 transponders, as well as to manage your Track Boxes.
It also allows you to easily check your inventory of transponders, to generate chip files and to set the transponders to Deep Sleep Mode.

Please note, that this device cannot be used for race timing itself!

Activate and deactivate tracking

Set transponders to deep sleep mode*

Generate chip files

USB connection

Manage Track Boxes

Keep track of transponder battery status

Scan trays to check

*In Deep Sleep Mode, the ActivePro and MotorKart transponders need 40% less energy, which can increase their lifetime by up to 30%.
