SPORTident-Station BS11-BL
April 2016
Identification at check points in outdoor sport disciplines like trail, biking and skiing is slightly
different than in orienteering. In general passing speed is higher and control points are more line
elements than filigree objects. The BS11-BL is special adapted for these applications by enabling
identification o er the air. By using the BS11-BL the SPORTident Acti e Card SIAC1 can register
the intermediate and start/finish times contactless in a range of up to 3 meters.
The station is part of SPORTident AIR+ system configuration.

The SPORTident Station BS11-BL features a new body and an increased RFID output power. The
station works battery powered standalone but can be controlled and also be charged by USB
interface.
The bigger antenna with an area of 185 mm x 240 mm generates a powerful low-frequency radio
field while keeping the power consumption low. This enables a highly mobile and flexible setting of
the stations at any course and at any location without the need of any additional external
equipment.
Key features are:
●The SPORTident station BS11-BL is compatible with the SPORTident system parts and
can be configured by software SI-Config+.
●The station triggers SPORTident Acti e Card SIAC1 at a distance of up to 3 meters for
intermediate times and as start/finish station.
●There are two time keeping modes “punching” and “timing” to best ser e in different sport
applications.
●Two stations BS11-BL can be configured in a gate mode to achie e higher time trigger
accuracy and in-lane-only identification.

The station transmits a data record comprising the internal real time, the code number, and the
operating mode periodically. This record is caught by the SI-Card.
The number of SIAC's able to be registered simultaneous is unlimited.
The station does not directly recei e signals from the SIAC. There is a second transmission
channel by radio.
Please note: After the defined working time, the station turns OFF automatically There is
no prolongation depending on triggered SI-Cards
Handling and service
●The Control Station BS11-BL needs only minimal ser ices. In typical application cycles only
station’s real time has to be monitored.
●Station’s settings can be changed by using the software SI-Config+.
●The rechargeable battery has got a capacity of 4500 mAh. This is sufficient to power the
station for more than 90 hours without a break. After that the battery must be charged ia
USB connector.
●The station is switched on with a magnet switch placed at stations side. To turn off the
