Magenta light when receiving internet from another TS2+, faster start-up and battery improvements.

Connection between TS2+ devices

• Magenta light: when a TS2+ receives internet over Wi-Fi from another TS2+, its internet connection LED lights up magenta instead of green, and the app shows the connection as paired. This shows at a glance which devices depend on another one. Both devices need this update. See Status LEDs and system indicators.
• TS2+ devices find the Wi-Fi of another TS2+ faster. See Connecting the TS2+ to the internet and the cloud.

Faster start-up

• The TS2+ connects to the network about 30 seconds sooner after power-on.
• The battery LEDs light up sooner, as the first sign that the device is starting.
• Wi-Fi turns on a few seconds after the network connection, not before.

See TS2+ - Power On and Off.

Power and batteries

• On its first start-up after the update, the TS2+ updates its power controller automatically.
• When turned off, power is really cut: the device no longer stays on and drains both batteries overnight.
• It no longer switches from one battery to the other when one is empty and the other is charged.
• Discharged batteries (0–2 %) charge again on their own with 24 V power, without disconnecting them. If a battery still does not charge after several attempts, this is recorded in the log: check or replace it.

See TS2+ user manual › Batteries.

Network fixes

• Port forwarding works from start-up. Settings sent right after power-on are no longer rejected with an error.
• Optimised APN settings. See Connecting the TS2+ to the internet and the cloud › GSM connection.

Improvements to time, connectivity and storage.

• Starts with the right time: synchronisation is more accurate, and a bug has been fixed that caused some devices not to keep their stored time and take almost a minute to recover it.
• More tolerant of restricted networks: the TS2+ has a second way to get the time directly from the cloud, so it also synchronises on networks where it previously could not.
• More reliable and compatible Wi-Fi: if the network is slow to respond when connecting, the device waits instead of treating it as failed. It can now also connect to networks with WPA3 security. See Connecting the TS2+ to the internet and the cloud.
• More stable mobile (4G) connection: several issues that could interrupt the mobile connection during prolonged use have been fixed.
• More robust storage: readings are better protected against faulty or problematic USB drives, including exFAT drives, common on large drives: the device detects faults, tries to repair them itself and reports the status to the cloud. See Recovering stored readings from the TS2+.
• RFID frequencies and radio power reviewed country by country, in line with the regional regulations currently supported by the reader.

10 September 2026

Double update: both the reader and the CPU are updated, so the device must be restarted twice.

1. Before starting, make sure the device has a good internet connection and enough battery; ideally, connect it to a power supply.
2. The device downloads the first update; with a good connection this takes 10 to 15 minutes.
3. When the cloud connection LED blinks quickly, the first update has been downloaded: restart the device.
4. When it is turned on again, the LED blinks again for the second update, which downloads a little faster.

To check that the versions are up to date, connect to the device and look at the System tab. See How to interact with the TS2+ device locally and Managing Updates on TS2+ Devices.

24 July 2026

New TS2+ software update. It is important to install it before your next race. See Managing Updates on TS2+ Devices.
