Electronic Start System

Electronic start system for FinishLynx timing, replacing the starting pistol.

The Lynx Electronic Start System eliminates the need for a starting pistol and blank cartridges, removing smoke, cartridges, and room for human error. It produces a start tone or simulated gun sound together with a high-visibility strobe light, and interfaces directly with FinishLynx for accurate start timing. It also connects to ReacTime false-start detection, works with PA systems via audio output, and can be used wired or with RadioLynx for wireless starts.
