Page 4: The Bricon Club System
The BRICON CLUB SYSTEM. Elektronic clocking in the club 1. Introduction 1.1. Electronic clocking systems, the basic principles. The basic principle of an electronic clocking device is the identification of a pigeon from a distance or identification without direct contact. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is one of the techniques used for this purpose.
Page 5: Rfid And Electronic Clocking
1.4. RFID and electronic clocking. An electronic clocking system actually is an RFID system composed of four elements: - a transponder or chip ring, - a part in the club (universal basketing antenna, UBA or CLUBMASTER), - a part at the fancier's loft (loft antenna), - and a part in which the data are stored.
Page 6: Parts And Installation Of The Bricon Clubsystem
With the CLUBMASTER you can basket without having to manipulate the EC of the fancier, 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.
Page 7: The Bricon Basketing Antenna
Each PC functioning under DOS or Windows 95 / 98 can be used. The PC is connected to the CLUB SYSTEM by a serial RS -232 null modem cable. You can recognise the null modem cable by the female 9-pin plugs on both sides. A serial port of your PC connects you to the serial connection on the Bricon basketing antenna.
