Electronic Starting System

Professional Electronic Start System for Competitive Swimming

The PS-1300 Electronic Starting System is designed to provide a clear, synchronized start signal for competitive swimming events. When the electronic start sound is generated, the system simultaneously sends a start signal to the printing timer, helping ensure accurate and coordinated race timing. The system offers two selectable start sounds—beep and gunfire—and incorporates a highly visible strobe positioned at the top of the pistol, allowing swimmers to clearly see the visual start signal.

Synchronized Start for Accurate Timing

When the electronic start sound is generated, the PS-1300 simultaneously sends a start signal to the connected printing timer. This synchronization ensures that timing begins at the exact moment the swimmers hear the signal, providing accurate and coordinated race results.

Selectable Sounds & Visual Strobe

The system offers two selectable start sounds—beep and gunfire—allowing officials to choose the best option for the event environment. A highly visible strobe light positioned at the top of the electronic pistol provides a clear visual start indication, essential for swimmers with hearing impairments or in noisy aquatic environments.

Integrated & Portable Configuration

Comprising a main unit, a compact starter box, and a lightweight aluminium electronic pistol, the PS-1300 provides a complete and coordinated race-start system. The dedicated starter box ensures convenient operation, while the portable pistol design allows easy handling by the race starter.
