Tip for referees when testing weapons.
For best results when testing weapons as a
referee, please make sure you are located
on the same surface as the fencer whose
weapon you are testing, i.e. only test
the weapon if both the referee and
fencer are located either wholly on,
or wholly off, the piste.
If you prefer the Piste Box is not located
directly next to the piste.
To avoid a tripping hazard or for convenience,
you can extend the connection of the tape
loop, by attaching a length of conductive
tape to the loop (as described above), and
running the tape away from the fencing
area to a place where the Piste Box can be
safely placed. The same can be done with
the connection to the piste, but remember
that the loop of conductive tape must be
insulated, and the piste must not short out
to the loop of tape. The Piste Box can be
moved 1-2m away from the piste and Relay
Box without issue. It is recommended to
move the Piste Box further away if it is in
danger of being stepped on (by referees,
fencers, etc). Not only is that a tripping
hazard, but can damage the connection
between the Piste Box and the piste/loop.
