- Foldable design: Compact, cable-free, and quick to deploy
- Proven performance: Outperforms previous-generation Decoder 5000s in global tests
- Plug-and-play: No laptop or external power needed — timing made simple
- Battle-tested: Used at major races including the BMW Berlin Marathon and 40+ U.S. events
Whether it’s a sprint finish, mass start, or mid-race checkpoint, the Ubidium Ground Antenna delivers flawless passive timing with zero fuss.

Active Loop Box
The Active Loop Box is a compact, stand-alone timing point that works seamlessly with ActivePro transponders. It's perfect for split points, transitions, and remote areas.
- No cables required: Fully wireless connection to the main timing system
- Stand-alone: Internal battery powers the box for 12–20 hours
- Split point ready: Repeats detections in real time or stores passings for later sync
- Extended range: Repeat mode covers up to 900m from the main system
- Audio & impulse I/O: 3.5mm plug supports start signals or audio cues
- Cost-effective: Add extra timing points without needing a full decoder
We use the Active Loop Box to capture intermediate times or support remote race segments, bringing high-performance timing to places traditional systems can’t reach.

Active Track Box
The Track Box Active is a game-changer for live race tracking. Mounted along the course or on vehicles, it receives pings from all tracking-enabled ActivePro V3 transponders within a 50 metre radius and transmits the data instantly online.
- Real-time tracking: Collects pings from all nearby active transponders
- Live data upload: Publishes GPS tracking and split points online
- Portable: Built-in magnets for quick, secure mounting
- Long battery life: Up to 5 days of operation
- Stackable charging: Charge multiple units easily using tray setup
- High coverage: Ideal for multisport courses, long loops, or race vehicles

Active Management Box
The Active Management Box is an essential part of our active timing setup. It enables full control over transponder tracking and system management — ensuring everything is ready before race day begins.
- Activate / deactivate tracking: Remotely control transponders before or during events
- Deep Sleep Mode: Reduce energy use by up to 40% to extend battery life
- Inventory management: Scan trays, check battery levels, and stay organised
- Generate chip files: Easily prepare transponder assignments
- Track Box manager: Manage and configure remote timing boxes
- USB connection: Plug-and-play with any laptop or race setup station
While not used for timing itself, this box gives us complete oversight and setup control — making sure every transponder is ready to go.

ActivePro V3 Transponders
At Monster Timing, we exclusively use the Race Result ActivePro V3 transponder — the gold standard for high-performance, high-precision race timing.
- Extreme accuracy: Precise to 0.004 seconds, with 0.001s resolution
- Handles speed: Designed for athletes moving up to 150 km/h
- High reliability: 100% detection rate over a 3D timing loop
- Real-time tracking: Supports adaptive ping intervals down to 0.5 seconds
- Backup built-in: Dual or quad 2.4GHz tracking for redundancy
- Store mode: Stores up to 128 passings for off-grid or disconnected tracking
Whether it’s a triathlon, bike race, or elite multisport event, ActivePro V3 gives us the precision and performance needed to deliver flawless results — every time.

Passive UHF Transponders
Our Passive UHF transponders are ideal for running events and mass participation races.They’re lightweight, disposable, and deliver reliable detection even in the busiest finish line environments.
- Race-proven accuracy: Timing precision of 0.2 seconds
- High detection rates: Specially engineered for sports timekeeping — not industrial use
- Easy deployment: Detected by foldable floor mats, side antennas, or the Track Box Passive
- Mass ready: Perfect for high-volume start and finish zones
- Lightweight and disposable: No need to collect after the event
- Globally trusted: Used at thousands of races with excellent performance
We recommend passive transponders for large running races and cycling events where efficient, accurate timing is needed at scale.
