No, none of the SPORTident stations (BSF7/8/9/BS11) should be mounted on a metal object. Fences and objects made of iron affect the functionality of all SPORTident stations.
In short: The GPS watch can affect the functionality of the SIAC. A GPS watch and the SIAC should therefore not be placed on the same arm. AIR+ Mode can be affected by interference caused by third party devices.

SPORTident timing hardware comes preconfigured for your needs. Often, no additional setup is necessary, and the hardware can be used as it is, without even touching a computer. However, it is also easy to understand and change the configuration. We have recommended hardware setups for a wide range of sports and events, and our support staff will be happy to help you find the perfect setup for your specific needs.
While the basic setup for most needs is straightforward, different product options together with rich configuration possibilities enable you to adapt the timing hardware to almost any use case and scenario you can think of. SPORTident is routinely used in many sports, from Mountain biking to Orienteering, Trail Running, Ultramarathons, Triathlons, Lap runs, Adventure races, and Company races.
SPORTident timing hardware is small, lightweight and battery powered. For some races, you can fit all the equipment you need in a backpack. Our hardware will happily run unattended, timing your participants, and waiting for you to pick it up after the race. Thanks to our ultra-low-power technology, our most durable stations run on battery for years. While our rechargeable stations run for days on a single charge.
SPORTident hardware is extremely durable. You can use it at -20°C and +50°C in any terrain, in any weather conditions and under the water. Some of our products have been in continuous use for over ten years now. Our hardware is built to last.
The entire SPORTident hardware product range is completely approved by International Orienteering Federation (IOF) with both the classic punching system and the contactless system. Additionally, SPORTident hardware fulfils all the demands of radio safety in the world, which can be seen in our certificates.
This means a unique perfect sporting experience, wich your participants and yourself will talk about for a long time later still.
A timekeeper and event partner you can rely on from the first minutes on. Your success is our success - we will do everything for it.
SPORTident is committed to the environment - with durable hardware, software updates instead of new purchases, minimal power consumption and environmentally friendly packaging.
Fascinated by orienteering which was developed in the 20th century in Scandinavia, the founders of SPORTident decided to revolutionise the sport with new technical equipment. To support that sport, the idea to develop a new timing and identification system was born.
We believe in the importance of sports for personal health, vitality and well-being. For over 20 years, we have been developing and producing innovative products that make outdoor adventure sports more attractive and exciting. Organisers are using our technology for timekeeping in more than 65 countries around the world.
New ideas and perspectives will make our products even more successful! We are always looking for people with innovative thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset. Join SPORTident to work in an international, diverse environment that promotes the open exchange of ideas and the development of skills. Interested? We are looking forward to your application.
