1 – Introduction
Thank you for choosing a PZRacing product. Start Plus is a state-of-the-art GPS dashboard. 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.
Please note PZRacing products are water resistant but not waterproof; do not wash the product with pressurised water and keep
the lateral tab closed at all times; failure to do so could cause permanent damage to the product.
1.1 – GPS Technology
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 – Installation
3.1 – Positioning
Start Plus's built-in GPS makes installation very simple; position the dashboard in such a way as to have good visibility towards the sky and an excellent
view for the pilot. The Start GPS receiver is located in the ledge at the top of the instrument.
The better the positioning of the instrument, the better the satellite reception will be; the better positioning of the instrument is at 45 ° with respect to
the ground, the closer you get to this position the better the satellite reception will be.
In horizontal position the GPS signal suffers strong degradations as the GPS receiver view only one part of the sky and will also
receive an amount of reflected waves from the ground that disturb the signal quality.
For installation on karts we recommend positioning on the steering wheel using the appropriate bolt fixing kits. The two kits allow installation with two
different angles, one parallel to the fixing surface and one inclined. In the event that using the parallel one, the GPS receiver of the product is covered by
the steering wheel handle, use the inclined fixing kit. This, in addition to better reception, also allows a better view of the display to the pilot.
For installation on motorcycles and scooters, it is recommended to use the best possible positioning for the rider but trying to place the instrument as
close as possible at a 45 ° angle to the ground.
N.B check that nearby and over the upper side of the product, where the gps receiver is located, there’s no metal, carbon or
electronic items; one of these items could cause the degradation of the satellite signal and the malfunction of the lap timer.
N.B don’t place an onboard camera neraby the lap timer because the internal electronic of the camera cause the degradation of the
satellite signal and the malfunction of the lap timer.
You can fix the instrument by creating a bracket or by using a hole in the steering wheel and following the instructions below:
- Prepare a bracket with a 8-8,5mm thickness or use the hole in the
steering wheel
- Insert the head of the M8 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 3 screws to fix the plastic adaptor
- Insert an anti-vibration 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 note absence of anti-vibration washers or incorrect positioning of these could damage the device due to vibrations of the
vehicle. This type of damage is not covered by the guarantee as it is not caused by a product defect but incorrect installation.
3.2 – Power
Start is fitted with a 1750mA lithium battery; you can see the status of the battery on the icon in the top right hand corner of the main screen.
Battery charge Low battery
To charge the battery, attach the USB connector of Start Plus to a power source or USB port on your PC using the USB cable provided; the image of a
battery being charged will appear on the display.
Once the battery is fully charged, "Charging complete" will appear on your display; you can now disconnect the USB cable.
(only Start Next) You can also charge the product directly on the vehicle by purchasing the optional SS12V100 cable or the SS12CAR cigar lighter cable;
when using these devices, the battery will be charged only when the product is switched on.

3.3 – Internal memory
The memory contains sessions and data saved by the device; it also contains system configuration folders and the coordinates of the finish lines of the
tracks. The memory card contains the following folders:
Folder: SYSTEM File: CONFIG.CFG (file for all product configurations)
Folder: TRACKS File: *.TRK (file for the finish line and split time coordinates)
Folder: SESSIONS File: *.SES (saved sessions file)
Folder: MANUALS File: *.pdf (instructions manuals in several languages)
Folder: IMAGE File: *.bmp (startup image, monochrome bitmap 240x128px)
Please note All the names and contents of the folders and files have been appropriately formatted; DO NOT change them
manually; only use Race Pro software to read/write the file.
3.4 – RPM cable installation
Important information regarding installation - READ CAREFULLY
- On two-stroke vehicles with strong electromagnetic emissions, such as scooters, go-karts and pocket-bikes, it is necessary to use resistive spark plugs
and shielded caps with 5K resistance. If you don't use shielded caps and resistive spark plugs, the device could measure the wrong values. Spark plugs
manufacturers often mark resistive spark plugs with the letter "R" in their code. For example, NGK BR7ES is a resistive spark plug, while B7ES is its
non-resistive equivalent.
Separate coil (high voltage spark plug wire)
Insert the black wire into the plastic cylinder, bend the end part of the wire to form a "U" and reinsert the
wire into the cylinder; fasten this to the spark plug wire using the double clip (see reference image on the
side). Place the clip at the same distance from the spark plug wire and coil.
Integrated coil ("cigar-shaped" coil on the spark plug)
Turn the coil power plugs 6-8 times and fasten with a cable tie.
In both cases, make sure other coils do not interfere with the plug, as this would detect erroneous rev values.
Make sure the plug is not close to other plugs and try to fasten it to the frame for all its length. Should the rev
values be incorrect, check the device settings.
To fix the RPM cable to the dashboard, unscrew the cross screw that fixes the RPM cable holder (see photo Chap. 2) in the rear side
of the dash ; insert the cable into the plastic part making a "U" as in the photo on the side, close the RPM cable holder by passing the
cable through the appropriate slot and fasten everything with the cross screw.
4 – Usage
4.1 – Switch on/off
To switch on the device, keep the ON/OFF button pressed until the logo appears on the display. To switch off, keep the ON/OFF button pressed until the
device switches off.
In case the dashboard is powered externally via an SS12V100 cable, the ON / OFF button will be disabled and the dashboard will automatically switch on
and off with the external power supply, therefore it is necessary to connect to a power supply under key.
Start Plus also has an automatic shut down feature which switches the device off after 20 minutes of inactivity.
4.2 – Registering sessions
Start Plus will begin to register a new session every time the three following conditions are met:
- the GPS signal has picked up the satellite signal
- the chronometer has been activated (we remind you that the chronometer starts when the internal accelerometer retrieves the departure of the vehicle)
4.3 – GPS signal
GPS signal acquisition can take from a matter of seconds to a couple of minutes. If the device has been switched off for days or the circuit has changed,
the time required for the first satellite retrieval can take 4/5 minutes; when used regularly, detection takes very little time. Acquisition of the GPS signal
is indicated on the display by the GPS icon:
GPS receiver has detected the satellites GPS receiver has not yet detected the satellites
It is also possible to check the signal received by the satellites by accessing the menu, selecting the INFO icon and subsequently the SAT icon; the I
numbers of the satellites will appear together with the dB power signal received; if the signal bar is full the satellite is being used, if not, it isn't.

12 – PC connection
12.1 – USB data download
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 Plus device to the PC and copy the files contained in the SESSION folder.
The *.SES file is formatted as follows:
NAME ATE TIME CIRCUIT BEST-LAP I EAL-TIME.SES
o 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.
12.2 – Wi-Fi
The new Start Plus 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 module is active only on the main screen and when the
product is charging, it is deactivated when you browse the menu.
After connection between RacePro and Start Plus, all the sessions stored in memory will
be displayed, select a session and click the “ ownload Session” button to start the data
download or the “ elete Session” button to delete the session.
The default data for the Wi-Fi network are the following:
Network name: PZRacing ST400P-USER 1
Password: 12345678
From the software, in the Network tab, it is possible, and recommended, 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 dashboard.
13 – Accelerometer
Start Plus 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 Plus integral with the vehicle frame, therefore the data stored by
installing the lap timer on the steering wheel or on the fork plate will not be truthful.
