1 – Intr ducti n
Thank you for choosing a PZRacing product. Start is a state-of-the-art GPS chronometer. There are many advantages to this technology: you will no
longer need to place a bulky infra-red transmitter at the side of the track, you can even view split times on the display and thanks to specially designed
software, you can view all the trajectories covered on a given track. Start is the only chronometer in the world to use a 50Hz receiver and a touch screen
pad with "Gloves Sensitive" technology which makes it possible to use the device even when wearing gloves.
Start Next and Start Basic are tw chr n meters f the same pr duct line and they functi n in the same way. H wever, Start Basic
d es n t all w data acquisiti n and b x expansi n c nnecti n.
Please n te: PZRacing pr ducts are water resistant but n t waterpr f; d n t wash the pr duct with pressurised water and keep
the lateral tab cl sed at all times; failure t d s c uld cause permanent damage t the pr duct.
1.1 – GPS Techn l gy
The Global Positioning System (also known as GPS) is a satellite positioning and navigation system which, thanks to a network of artificial satellites in
orbit, sends information about geographic coordinates and the time to a GPS receiver, in any weather conditions and on any place on Earth. Its
functioning principle is based on a spherical positioning method which measures the time taken by a radio signal to cover the distance from a satellite to
a receiver. One of the main features of GPS receivers is the update frequency expressed in Hertz (Hz); this measurement unit indicates how many times
per second the satellite receiver is capable of updating its position. Start has a state-of-the-art GPS receiver with an updating frequency of 50Hz (50
times per second), which translates into higher precision in calculating the time and visualising trajectories.

3 – Installati n
3.1 – P siti ning
Start's integrated GPS receiver make installation easy. Place the chronometer in a spot where it has
good visibility of the sky and where the pilot can see it well. The GPS receiver is located in the
superior part of the device, this is why it is advisable t install Start in a 45° blique
p siti n, see lateral picture.
In h riz ntal p siti n the GPS signal suffers str ng degradati ns as the GPS receiver
view nly ne part f the sky and will als receive an am unt f reflected waves fr m
the gr und that disturb the signal quality.
N.B: check that nearby and ver the upper side f the pr duct, where the gps receiver
is l cated, there’s n metal, carb n r electr nic items; ne f these items c uld
cause the degradati n f the satellite signal and the malfuncti n f the lap timer.
N.B: d n’t place an nb ard camera neraby the lap timer because the internal electr nic f the camera cause the degradati n f the
satellite signal and the malfuncti n f the lap timer.
N te f r R1 2015/18: d n’t place the lap timer nearby the riginal dashb ard f the m t rbike because the internal electr nic f the
TFT dash causes the degradati n f the satellite signal and the malfuncti n f the lap timer.
It is possible to fix the device with the plastic Velcro provided or create a bracket following these instructions:
- Prepare a bracket with a 5mm thickness and a 15mm hole (GENERAL
SUPPORT)
- Insert the head of the M6 bolt in the designated space on the back of the
shell of the Start device
- Fix the bolt with the plastic adaptor making the seat match the head of
the bolt.
- Secure the 4 screws to fix the plastic adaptor
- Insert an anti-vibration conical washer in the bolt between the shell and
the bracket
- Insert the bolt into the bracket
- Insert the second anti-vibration plane rubber washer
- Insert the plane metal washer
- Place the nut provided on top of the metal washer and screw to hold in
place
Please n te: absence f anti-vibrati n washers r inc rrect p siti ning f these c uld damage the device due t vibrati ns f the

6 – H w t use and ch se the finish line/circuit
Before using the device, you need to choose the way in which you want to use the Start device:
LOSED IR UIT: circuits where the start and finish line coincide (ex. racetracks, kartdromes, etc.)
POINT TO POINT: circuits where the start and finish line do not coincide (ex. rallies, up-hill races, etc.)
A ELERATION: for acceleration races where the finish line corresponds to reaching a certain distance or speed (ex. 0-100 km/h, ¼ mile, etc.)
DYNO BEN H: to use the lap timer even without GPS signal, ideal for dyno bench use
You select the finish line and circuit from the TRA K menu; access the Menu and click on the TRA K icon.
6.1 – Cl sed circuit
The standard mode of a track chronometer, in which a session is made of multiple times per lap; each time the finish line is crossed, the chronometer
records the time taken to perform the lap and sets the chronometer back to zero to start a new lap.
On the first line where "Select" appears, click on RA E (you can amend your choice by pressing SHIFT); press NEXT to confirm.
6.2 – P int t p int
Standing start mode; thanks to the internal accelerometer, Start will retrieve the starting point; the finish line will be
retrieved using the GPS coordinates stored on the device, like with a normal circuit, in the TRA KS folder of the
memory card.
For a standing start, you need to set on MANUAL the start mode of the recording (see chap. 5); this way you can first
position the vehicle up to the starting point, then press YES to request the beginning of the storage when the vehicle
is standing and ready to start the lap.
In the TRA K menu, press "Select" and choose RA E (you can change your choice by clicking on SHIFT), press
NEXT to confirm your choice.
6.3 – Accelerati n
Standing start mode; thanks to the internal accelerometer, Start will retrieve the starting point; the finish line will be retrieved using one of the options
suggested depending on the type of race you are doing. Using this mode, each session has a single lap.
Press "Select" and choose A ELERATION (you can change your choice by clicking on SHIFT), press NEXT to
confirm your choice.
You will then be asked the finish line "Mode"; you can choose from the following entries: 100mt, 150mt, 400mt,
800mt, 1000mt, 0-100Km/h, 0-160Km/h, 0-60mph, 0-120mph, 1/2mile, 1/4mile, 1/8mile.
By choosing A ELERATION, the storage function of a new session is automatically set to MANUAL so you can
position the vehicle on the starting line and then press YES when the vehicle is standing and ready to start.
6.4 – Dyn Bench (s l Start Next)
Dyno Bench mode is the ideal to record data from your bike without GPS signal, so you can use it even on a building
to record performance of your motorbike over a dyno bench.
Select DYNO BEN H and then press NEXT
7 – St rage f a new finish line/circuit
You can download a list of the most famous world circuits directly from our website; if your racetrack is not available, you can create a new circuit using
the RacePro software (see the software manual for details) or directly on the track by doing as follows:
Access the TRA K menu and select the NEW icon in the bottom left hand corner. The following screen will appear:
GPS: it informs us whether the GPS receiver is connected
to the satellites.
I1: saves the coordinates of split time 1.
FINISH: saves the coordinates of the finish line
EXIT: exits the procedure without saving
Wait for the GPS to retrieve the satellites (the letters GPS on a black background like in the photo); place yourself in the spot where you wish to store the
coordinates, press the "I1" button if you wish to save split time 1 , press "Finish" if you want to save the finish line. When you press the button you have
chosen, the icon you selected will turn into a confirmation icon , if you press "Finish", the procedure will be complete and the track will be saved in
the TRA KS folder of the memory card under TRA Kxxx.TRK (xxx are a sequence of numbers); if you press "I1", the following screen will appear where
you can set the second split time or simply the finish line, and so on up to three split times.

10 – PC c nnecti n ( nly Start Next)
10.1 – USB data d wnl ad
The files contained in the memory are managed like any files in a digital archive memory (USB stick, memory card, etc,); this is why there is no
download time, you simply need to connect the Start device to the P and copy the files contained in the SESSION folder.
The *.SES file is formatted as follows:
NAME DATE TIME IR UIT BEST-LAP IDEAL-TIME.SES
Do not rename the session files under any circumstances; Start will no longer be able to open the files.
To eliminate the content of the memory, eliminate all the files inside the SESSION folder.
10.2 – Wi-Fi
The new Start Next ST400-N is equipped with an integrated Wi-Fi module that will be
used for data download and settings related to storage. Wi-Fi turns on when the product
is turned on and turns off when the motorcycle exceeds 30Km/h, to reactivate the Wi-Fi
it will be necessary to turn off and on the GPS receiver.
N.B: the Wi-Fi m dule is active nly n the main screen and when the
pr duct is charging, it is deactivated when y u br wse the menu.
After connection between RacePro and Start Next, all the sessions stored in memory will
be displayed, select a session and click the “Download Session” button to start the data
download or the “Delete Session” button to delete the session.

Password: 12345678
From the software, in the Network tab, it is possible, and rec mmended, to change the last part of the network name (USER 1) and the password.
Once modified it will be necessary to close the RacePro program, turn off and on the GPS receiver.
11 – Gear indicati n ( nly Start Next with b x expander)
Start can view and save the gear inserted in two different ways:
- calculating the RPM/speed ratio (for vehicles which don't have a potentiometer on the gear)
- retrieving the analogue exit of the gear potentiometer
By accessing the "GEAR" menu, the screen you see here to the side will appear.
11.1 - Setting the gear using RPM/SPEED rati ( nly Start Next)
The first entry you have to set up is visualization of the gear inserted on the display; if you select "NO”, the gear will only be saved; if you select "YES",
the gear will also be viewed on S REEN 2 and S REEN 3.
After "Input", select "RPM/SPEED1" if you wish to use the speed of the Box Expander 2, select "RPM/SPEED2" if you wish to use the speed registered by
the Box Expander 3.
Then press the " ALIB." button to perform calibration of the inserted gear; the screen that appears will be a confirmation screen with the options "YES"
and "NO". Before clicking "YES", we advise you to switch on the vehicle and put into first gear with the clutch pulled.
Perform calibration as follows:
- lick on the "Yes" button.
- Number "1" will appear; put into first gear, release the clutch and continue at constant engine speed (approx. 5000
RPMs).
- After about five seconds, number "2" will appear; put into second gear and continue at constant engine speed
(approx. 5000 RPMs).
- Do this with all the gears of your vehicle.
- When the number that comes after the number of gears appears on the display (ex. if your bike has 6 gears, wait for
number 7), press STOP to terminate calibration.
11.2 - Setting the gear using the anal gue input ( nly Start Next)
The first entry you have to set up is visualization of the gear inserted on the display; if you select "NO”, the gear will
only be saved; if you select "YES", the gear will also be viewed on S REEN 2 and S REEN 3.
Under "Input", select analogue input to which the gear potentiometer output is connected.
Then press " alibration" to calibrate the gear; the screen which will appear will be a confirmation screen with the
options YES and NO.
You do not need to start the vehicle to perform the calibration, but you need to access the instruments panel.
- Press "Yes".
- Number "1" will appear, put into first gear.
- After about five seconds, number "2" will appear; put into second gear.
- Do this with all the gears of your vehicle.
- When the number that comes after the number of gears appears on the display (ex. if your bike has 6 gears, wait for
number 7), press STOP to terminate calibration.
12 – Linear p tenti meter calibrati n ( nly Start Next)
It is possible to calibrate the linear potentiometers directly from the instrument.
N.B: it is necessary t have c nfigured the anal gue channels fr m the RacePr s ftware using the
presettings f r the linear p tenti meters (POTENTIOMETER 150mm and POTENTIOMETER 75mm),
it is p ssible t calibrate nly the anal gue inputs set with ne f these tw v ices.
Enter the menu and click on the SUSP icon, the analog inputs set as linear potentiometers will be displayed, select the potentiometer you want to
calibrate, bring the potentiometer to its maximum extension and press ALIB icon.
13 – Acceler meter ( nly Start Next)
Start is equipped with an internal accelerometer that is used for detecting the start and to store the values on the
recorded file.
We remind you that in order to have a correct reading of the values of the internal accelerometer it is necessary to
install the Start integral with the vehicle frame, therefore the data stored by installing the lap timer on the steering
