Amb Tranx 160 Transponder Manual Treadmill
May 13, 2015,, 3 Comments Transponders are expensive. To me, inexplicably so, which is part of why I’ve never owned one. I pay the $50 rental fee whenever I run a LeMons race and grumble to myself about why a plastic box with some simple electronics and nothing-special NiCd rechargeable batteries would cost.
A transponder with a dead battery fell into my possession. It sat in my garage for a few years before I finally took the time to crack it open.

Hit the jump to find out how you can try and revive a dying TranX battery. If you’ve ever taken the cover off a transponder, you’re familiar with the stuff what fills it.
It’s some kind of hard foam resin, nearly impossible to cut or chip away at. Bachianas Brasileiras Guitar Pdf Sheet there. I couldn’t find any very detailed information on how to replace the batteries in one of these except for a video or two, and many references to a company called in Queensland, Australia, owned and operated by Jeff Chandler. Many people seem satisfied with his services and are willing to pay the US$90 to get their transponder fixed. I’m an experimental type and I had a free transponder. I had nothing to lose in trying this myself.
Besides, the resin in mine was already cracked between the battery and circuitry. But I did consult Chandler for his opinion. He produced some important warnings and caveats for those trying this out themselves, the most important of which are: • In most cases the old battery is leaking. You should wear rubber gloves and wear a mask. [It was too late for me when I found out, but I am not dead yet.] • The old battery should not be disposed of in general waste. Correct disposal is at a hazardous waste depot.
[Ditto above, but I’m not proud of it.] • You can’t convert a battery-powered transponder to a hard-wired one. If it were possible, he would definitely be offering that service.. Before continuing on to my process and experience, here’s what Chandler had to tell me about his experience with do-it-yourselfers. In the 14 years I have been providing this service I have seen many transponders wrecked beyond repair by well-meaning DIYers. I’m not scare-mongering or trying to drum up more business because I get enough to keep me occupied anyway. I am kind of semi-retired, but not old enough for the pension yet, and financially in very good shape.
The DIY repairs that I end up seeing are either damaged beyond repair or done badly. Initially the transponder worked for the DIY person but failed later.
There is a small club transponder that RC model car racing rely on which are no longer made. This is the AMB20 and AMBrc. In a club there is usually a well-meaning person with some good skills that has a crack and fixing these and either opens one or two and gives up and has possibly killed the transponders in the process, or they are successful and do the whole set of 10 or 20.
