RFID-transponders and readers have no moving parts, so the systems are
very easy to maintain and have a very large life span.
RFID can identify without physical contact.
RFID is very swift, the connection can be made in a few hundredths of
seconds.
RFID still operates under very extreme circumstances.
1.4. RFID and electronic clocking.
An electronic clocking system actually is an RFID system composed of
three elements:
- a transponder or chip ring
- a part in the club (universal basketing antenna, UBA), the BRICON
CLUBSYSTEM,
- a part at the fancier's loft (loft antenna)
- and a part in which the data are stored.
The part in which the data are stored called in this document "terminal" or
electronic clock (EC) for uniformity's sake.
The CLUB SYSTEM always remains in the club, the loft antenna is in the
fancier's loft. The EC is the mobile part which has to be in the club when
basketing or clocking.
By creating a standard we want to obtain a connection between the devices
in the club and the terminal. The connection between the terminal and the
loft antenna does not have to be compatible since the fancier normally only
uses the products of one manufacturer. In most countries a pigeon fancier
is tied to one single club and cannot basket anywhere else.
The fancier's individual freedom, regarding the choice of his electronic
system, is quite limited. He can only choose the system his club uses, or he
can opt for not clocking electronically. The persons responsible for the club
decide what system should be used.
In Belgium however, every fancier can basket in several (four, five or more)
different clubs and enter several flights. Each fancier can choose from a
large number of flights, that is probably the reason why the Belgian pigeon
is so much wanted. Most races are flown in Belgium, and the selection is
the hardest in Belgium.
Several clocking systems are put up for sale. In principle, these systems
are not mutually compatible.
BRICON also developed a unique compatible system: the BRICON
CLUBMASTER (this system is used in several countries, such as
Belgium). This system enables you to basket without having to
manipulate the fanciers' device. Each fancier is treated equally, the
staff of the club only needs to know how their BRICON CLUBMASTER
functions in order to be able to help each fancier with a homologated
device. If you need more information about this system, you can
contact your salesman.
