The RACE RESULT BLE Reader connects via Bluetooth-Low-Energy directly through the RACE RESULT EventTools app.
Scanning for devices will only list and connect to RACE RESULT BLE Readers to prevent errors with other devices.
When connecting the BLE Reader the output power can be set between 5-30dBi according to your needs, the following values are estimated for different applications:
- 5-10 Kiosk Mode (Participants physically scan their bib)
- 10-15 Scanner Mode (Participants stand in front of the reader)
- 15-20 Timing Mode (Participants are read as they pass within medium range)
- 20-30 Long Range (Not recommended - maximum detection range)
Setting higher power will impact on the battery life of the reader, at Max power the estimated battery life is 2 hours.
