Once pressed the machine will immediately start encoding with the first number in the
sequence, once this transponder is removed the machine will then automatically
encode the following number and feed this transponder forward.
This will continue counting up or down continuously, until the number reaches
9,999,999 or 0 respectively. To manually stop the system simply push
the STOP button on the display before removing the final transponder you require.
External Input (Keypad / Barcode Scanner)
You can connect a USB number keypad (supplied) or USB barcode scanner
(optional) to the Chip2Go as an external input device.
Any USB Keypad may be used, the supplied one was chosen for it's inclusion of a
backspace, however a * will also act as a backspace. Only the barcode scanner
available directly from race result is officially supported, this also includes the mount
to attach to the unit.
To use an external input press Switch Mode and select external scanner keypad.
Simply enter the desired number with the keypad and press enter or scan the
corresponding barcode to encode the transponder. The system will display the
previous number which was encoded on the display.
If using a barcode scanner the barcode must be the correct format. All bibs
purchased from race result with the standard barcode will be compatible, if using your
own barcodes then check the Barcode Format is correct.
Barcode Format
Chip2Go machines will only read barcodes using Code 128 standard, other
barcode formats will not be read correctly.
Barcodes must use a start code with "#" followed by the bib number followed by "~",
the bib number will stop being read at the ~ character and any characters after this
point will be ignored. If ordering bibs directly from race result, ensure to request
Chip2Go barcodes to be included.
You can also use barcodes with numbers ONLY, the whole number will be used as
the bib number.
For example:
301
#301~
#301~PARTY
#301~~12345~~
will all return bib number 301.
