Stations de contrôle

Avec des modifications physiques nettement améliorées, cette nouvelle station de contrôle fonctionne de manière identique à son prédécesseur, le BSF8. Voir ci-dessous pour plus de détails. Chaque station de contrôle que vous commandez est livrée avec l'autocollant de contrôle de votre choix.

L'unité BSF8 est disponible soit en version affichage en haut (DT - "display top"), soit en version affichage en bas (DB - "display bottom"). Cette distinction se réfère à l'emplacement de l'écran à cristaux liquides: soit sur le dessus ou sur le dessous de l'unité. En général, si un contrôle doit comporter un autocollant de code de contrôle sur sa surface supérieure, il est recommandé d'opter pour l'unité "DB". L'unité DB est disponible en bleu ou en rouge. L'unité DT n'est disponible qu'en bleu. Chaque poste de contrôle que vous commandez est livré avec l'autocollant de contrôle de votre choix.

This control is mainly useful as part of a radio control system. It transmits the information of a punch by a non Air+ 'card'/finger stick to a nearby SRR receiver. Since Air+ finger sticks don't physically punch, it does not transmit for those cards, but by programming this type of control as a beacon control, with Radio set to "Send Last Record", the Air+ itself will transmit the punch info to the nearby SRR receiver.

Air+ controls allow for participants to punch the control from a distance, given they have the proper personal SI stick (SIAC). These small controls have a range of 1.8m and allow for participants to maintain flow through controls, not having to slow down to insert their SI stick into the control.

Air+ controls allow for participants to punch the control from a distance, given they have the proper personal SI stick (SIAC).
