Registering; Basketing; Arrival Of The Pigeons In The Loft (Registration) - Gantner BENZING M1 Manual

BENZING M1 - Club
OPERATION
The pigeons are registered at the club according to their pigeon rings. As an option a
season map can be generated and loaded into BENZING M1. To start a race the pigeons are
basketed for the race. Then the fancier takes the BENZING M1 to his loft where he registers
the arriving pigeons. The evaluation takes place at the club. The fancier clears the race so
that he can reuse the basketed pigeons for another race.

4.1.1 Registering

The registration and coupling of an electronic ring number with the corresponding pigeon
data can be made with the club software on a PC and saved in the BENZING M1. Or the
pigeons can only be registered in the BENZING M1 and then a ring is coupled with the
pigeon data at the club using the Club Antenna CAN.
Training
If a training starts, all pigeons are automatically basketed for this training, except for those
that have been basketed for a race, that were nominated or that bets have been placed on.

4.1.2 Basketing

Before loading the pigeons into the transporter they have to be basketed for a race.
Changes concerning the data of the basketed pigeons can only be made after a particular
race has finished.
When basketing the pigeon the secret number is saved on the ring as well as in the
BENZING M1. When evaluating the race, the stored secret numbers are compared and the result
is shown in the evaluation of the race. Thus, several methods of manipulation are ruled out.

4.1.3 Arrival of the Pigeons in the Loft (Registration)

As soon as the fancier has connected his BENZING M1 in the loft with the loft antennas to
the power mains after basketing, the device is ready to register the arriving pigeons. If a
pigeon lands on the loft antenna, the pigeon number and the secret number are read and
saved in the BENZING M1 together with the exact time of arrival. The list of the arrived and
missing pigeons can be recalled on the display any time.
Enter Distance
By entering the distance and release time the BENZING M1 is able to calculate the average
velocity of each pigeon automatically.
