Battery-Operated RFID Race Timing Tag (30–40 ft Range)

What sets this battery-operated race timing tag apart

Most chip timing uses passive tags, which draw their energy from the reader's signal. This tag carries its own battery and has a listed read range of 30–40 feet, so it can be picked up across a wider timing line than a short-range tag that has to pass close to a mat. Its operating range of −20 °C to 50 °C covers cold early-morning hill starts and hot afternoon finishes alike.

Where a longer read range helps

• Cycling, where riders pass the line fast and in tight bunches
• Wide finish chutes and road-width start lines
• Triathlon and duathlon transitions, where athletes arrive from different angles
• Lap timing on circuits, where no pass can be missed

Issuing tags at your event

Battery-powered timing tags cost more than disposable ones. If you plan to use the same tags at more than one event, issue each tag against a bib number and set up a collection point just past the finish line to record returns. For single-use timing, compare the IDTS-LSTH3 shoe tag or the RT6-P race label, or browse all RFID race timing products.
