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.
