SPORTident ActiveCard
Description
The SPORTident ActiveCard (SIAC) is an advanced RFID transponder combining active and passive operation modes.
-
The SIAC can be used in two different identification modes:
-
Direct punching: registers a direct punch in less than the tenth of a second (works even if battery is empty)
-
Contactless punching: registers the time and code number of an AIR+ compatible SPORTident Station
-
-
The SIAC completes the identification cycle in 60 ms and registers up to 128 intermediate time records
-
The optical and acoustical feedback signal, emitted by the SIAC, indicates the successful timekeeping and registration
-
Intermediate and finish times are recorded in a proximity range of up to several meters when passing the checkpoint with a maximum speed of 80 km/h
-
A built-in short-range radio enables the transmission of time records for online data presentation
-
The SIAC is energy-efficient and will work for several years before a battery replacement is necessary
-
The SIAC is fully encapsulated and waterproofed
-
The SIAC can be customized according to your preferences (you can choose a colour and a SIAC number)

Battery exchange
The SIAC contains a battery. The battery has a finite lifetime. The SIAC battery exchange service is offered by SPORTident and a number of qualified service points.
It is recommended to replace the SIAC battery three years after the SIAC production date or the last battery exchange date. |
The next battery exchange can be determined as follows:
-
The recommended battery exchange date is printed on the underside of the SIAC.
-
The form on the SPORTident Homepage shows the recommended battery exchange date by using the card number.
-
Config+ shows the battery date after a readout. This date plus three years is the recommended battery exchange date.
The SIAC Battery Test station and Config+ evaluate the SIAC battery voltage. If the SIAC Battery Test station or Config+ indicate a warning or failure for the SIAC battery voltage then the SIAC battery should be replaced. |
