About the PowerUnit & SpaceUnit

PowerUnit is the start transmitter specially designed for sound starts. Thanks to its microphone, it starts the transponder’s timer as soon as it detects a noisy sound nearby (such as a clap or a gunshot). It is associated with an antenna flag, the SpaceUnit, which provides a wider detection zone (6m), and triggers the start on up to 8 lanes.
