3. If a transponder has numbers on average lower than the rest by about 10 then that indicates the transponder is not mounted in the same way as the other cars If the Power number is low then the transponder should be relocated to a better position 3 If the Power number is in the good range about 40 and above but the Hits number is low compared to other cars this indicates poor mounting position This means that the transponder is not being seen very well It could be that the transponder is in a recessed location surrounded by metal or facing the wrong direction Label side of transponder should fact the antenna loop 4 If the Power number is good but the Hits number is erratic at a given speed this indicates either poor mounting or interference 5 Low power number on all vehicles indicates poor connectivity in the wiring or poor mounting on all vehicles Race Manager C Westhold Products RMS Source TimeProyRaceMgr 139049XRecovery CSV aloj x File Options Export Help Lap 1 Down RMon Practice Qualify View Scoreboard Elapsed Total Elapsed Green Retesh Scol t f 00 24 56 00 24 02 etwor a Session Name Christine Three 14449 1 00 000 Bob Two 14185 1 00 122 16 Ernie Four 14716 Ernie Four 14716 1 Ernie Four 14716 NI Se aa 67 Fred Five 14649 1 02 742 Adam One 14067 1 02 780 All J Print PHE CTABT ICON CAUTION CAUTION RED FLAG 2 LIN EUR ER SEER START FZ STOP START FN atl F
