Timing solution for
Open Triathlons

Reliable Results for Every Athlete

For age-group and open triathlon events, the TMK TIMING Passive System offers a reliable and cost-effective solution. Athletes wear waterproof, disposable ankle transponders with 0.2 s accuracy. TMK Timing System and its Ground Antenna are setup at the timing points.

Why our solution?

Cost-Efficient Timing

Disposable ankle transponders keep costs low and logistics simple. Ideal for mass events and age-group races.

Water-Resistant Setup

Correct antenna placement after the swim ensures reliable reads, even with wet transponders.

Ready-to-Use Templates

In TMK Workbench V4 software, the triathlon template lets you easily configure swim, transition, and finish timing points.

Setup

The transponder needs to be worn on the ankle – above the swim suit! In our example here, all participants start from the beach. The timing system at the start is used to check who is currently in the water.
For the system on swim exit, make sure to keep away from water. Ideally, athletes need to run a few meters before passing the ground antenna. This helps to dry off the transponder and improve read rates.
Please note you cannot use a 6m- or 8.4m-Extension with disposable triathlon transponders.
In TMK Workbench V4 use the "Triathlon" template, which offers you exactly these timing points and all necessary results.
