RACEceiver Rechargeable Transponder Units

RACEceiver rechargeable transponder units are lightweight, compact devices designed to be attached to each race vehicle. The unit primarily serves the purpose of lap timing and vehicle identification at a racetrack, allowing a system of loop antennas and a decoder to accurately record each vehicle's crossing times. They also provide a rechargeable power source for the device and often include LED indicators to show the unit's operational status and battery level. Unlike disposable battery versions, the transponder units are designed to be recharged, saving money and hassle for the user.

Here's a better understanding of how the transponder unit works:

Each transponder is assigned a unique identification number to differentiate individual vehicles. As the vehicle passes over the Loop Antenna, the Decoder reads this identification number and determines a crossing time. As the race car crosses a designated timing point on the track, the transponder unit transmits its unique ID to a trackside decoder. The decoder captures the exact time the transponder passed over the loop. The timing data is sent to a computer system, which can then display lap times on scoreboards, providing results to race officials, or be used for post-race analysis.

The transmitters have LED indicators for operational status. A green LED indicates the transmitter is working. A red LED indicates a low battery condition, therefore there is no guesswork involved in determining battery status. During a race, the transmitter is also capable of relaying a low battery status to the Race Management System, informing the system operator of this condition.
