Installation 6
Installation
The ProStart comes with a cradle that interlocks with it. Install the cradle permanently on your boat.
Press the tab on the cradle to unlock the ProStart from it.
The ProStart Cradle works with M4 Metric flat head countersunk machine screws. Alternatively, you can use Imperial No. 6 flat head countersunk machine screws in place of M4 fasteners. Always use Marine
Grade fasteners when mounting the ProStart Cradle and/or Mounting Brackets.
Installation 7
Do not use rounded head screws with the ProStart cradle. Non-countersunk screw heads will interfere with mounting the ProStart in its cradle.
The ProStart now features a magnetic compass. If you intend to use the magnetic compass feature, mount the back of the cradle perpendicular to the centerline of the boat. The cradle should be installed at least 1.0m away from steel, iron, other ferromagnetic metals and permanent magnets.
If you only intend to use the GPS features of the ProStart, the cradle can be installed anywhere on the boat with a view of the sky.
For instructions on changing the ProStart from magnetic compass to course over ground, see the
Configuration section on page 20.
Several mounting options are available for the ProStart. For details, go to https://www.velocitek.com/collections/accessories .
Batteries
The ProStart is powered by an onboard Lithium Polymer battery.
Batteries 8
Battery life
The battery indicator is located on the bottom of the LCD screen. When the battery is fully charged, the device will last 100 hours in normal operation with the white or red backlight on. From a full charge with the backlight off, the ProStart will run for 200 hours with no additional charge. When the battery is empty the device will go into low battery mode and flash the battery outline.
When the battery is exhausted, connect the ProStart to a USB port or a phone charger using the supplied cable. From low battery the ProStart takes approximately 11 hours to charge completely using a 5 volt, 1 amp wall adapter (iPhone or similar) or 55 hours to charge completely via a USB port on a computer.
Full Battery Low Battery Half Full
Recharging the Battery
To recharge the battery, connect the ProStart to a USB port or a phone charger using the supplied Micro
USB cable. The ProStart uses a standard Micro USB cable.
While the ProStart is charging the LCD will display “>USb”, the USB trident logo will be visible at the bottom of the LCD screen and the battery icon will show the charging progress (see illustration below).
When the battery is completely charged the cycling animation will stop and the battery will show full with both bars showing.

Distance
Start mode combines a timer and perpendicular distance to line display to provide the information necessary for a perfect start at the gun.
The semi-circles next to the PIN and RC buttons indicate if the respective ends are set. When both ends are set a line appears between them to illustrate that the line is set.
Timer
The count-down timer displayed as mm:ss. The time can be set from 1:00 to 15:00.
Distance To Line
‘Distance To Line’ is the perpendicular distance to the user defined line.
Refer to Set Start Line on page
‘Distance To Line’ means that the boat is over the line. Three hyphens ‘---’ are displayed when the line is not defined and a GPS signal is available. When the ‘Distance To Line’ is larger than 1000 meters ‘>999’ is displayed.
Start line pacing guides
In the final minute of the countdown the bar graph segments will display ‘Pacing Guides,’ giving you an indication of whether you are on track to be early or late to the line given your current boat speed and heading. Below is a description of how this algorithm works so that you can employ this feature in your starts with confidence.
Modes 12
The early / late bar graph provides a graphical representation for your estimated location at the gun based on your current position, speed, Course Over Ground, and the time remaining in the countdown.
The bar graph extends above the illustrated line if the calculated future location is over the line and below the illustrated line if your future location is under the line. When no bar graph segments are showing - the “0” display - your estimated future location at the gun is between the line and 2 meters below the line. Each segment shown represents +/- 2m from this “0" location. For example, 2 bar graph segments showing above the line represents that you are predicted to be between 2m and 4m over the line at go. For simplicity’s sake this algorithm assumes the line to be of infinite length so it does not compensate for any situation where your current heading would not take you through the starting line.
The goal is to eliminate all the bar segments around the perimeter and only have the semicircles showing. This indicates that at your current speed and heading you are expected to be within 2 meters of the line at the gun.

Heading / COG
Speed
Race mode displays information crucial during the race: speed, magnetic heading or COG, and heel angle.
Speed
Speed is calculated by the GPS unit by measuring the Doppler shift in GPS signals. It is displayed in Knots
(Nautical Miles per Hour).
Modes 13
Magnetic Heading
With the addition of a solid-state geomagnetic (compass) sensor, the ProStart’s factory default direction output is magnetic heading. The default heading is magnetic heading of the device expressed in degrees with 360˚ being North.
When the ProStart’s direction output is set to magnetic heading, the ProStart’s top line will show compass heading with three digits at all times. Leading zeros will be displayed when the heading is not three digits, i.e. eleven degrees will be shown as 011° and three degrees will be shown as 003°.
See the Configuration section on page 20 for instructions on changing the ProStart’s direction output from magnetic compass to course over ground.
Course Over Ground
The user has the option to substitute Course Over Ground (COG) in place of Heading. COG is calculated by the GPS unit by measuring the Doppler shift in GPS signals.
Either true or magnetic COG can be displayed by entering your local magnetic declination into the
ProStart. “True COG” is referenced to true north. “Magnetic COG” is referenced to the local magnetic north. When using a magnetic compass in conjunction with the ProStart, displaying COG in degrees magnetic can be useful since both measurements will be referencing magnetic north.
By default, COG is displayed in degrees true. To display COG in degrees magnetic the local magnetic declination must be entered in the device settings. See the Configuration section on page 20 for instructions on entering your local magnetic declination into the ProStart.
The ProStart displays COG only when your speed is greater than 0.5 knots. If your speed is less than 0.5 knots the ProStart will display ‘- - -’ for COG regardless of which direction you are moving.
Unlike the magnetic heading from a compass, COG requires movement. COG depends only on the direction you are moving, not the direction the device is pointing. If your ProStart is configured to display
COG, the ProStart will give you accurate COG information regardless of the orientation in which it is mounted on your boat (i.e. mounted on the sides of a boom, or a tacking bracket on a Moth).
When the ProStart’s direction output is set to COG, the ProStart’s top line will show COG with no leading zeros, i.e. eleven degrees will be shown as 11° and three degrees will be shown as 3°.
Modes 14
Heel Angle Bar Graph
In Race Mode, with magnetic heading selected as the direction output, the ProStart detects the heel angle of the vessel allowing the sailor to balance the power and keep the boat on her lines. Each bar segment represents 2.5° of heel.
To zero out the heel angle, press RESET when the ProStart is in Race Mode.
When COG is selected as the direction output, the heel angle feature is disabled.
Heel angle is also recorded in the ProStart’s data storage. Heel to starboard is shown as positive degrees.
Heel to port is shown as negative degrees.
Each segment represents 2.5

GPS Signal Acquired
The operation of the ProStart relies on low-power radio signals from GPS satellites that orbit the earth at an altitude of approximately 20,000 km. As a result, the ProStart must be outdoors with a clear view of the sky to function properly. Stay away from tall buildings and forests when acquiring a signal off the water since these obstacles block or reflect the signals making it difficult to obtain signal.
The satellite acquisition process can take up to 5 minutes.
Operation
When the ProStart is first turned on, it must download information from GPS satellites before it can acquire a GPS signal.

Using the Backlight
The ProStart features a white or red LED backlight.
With the ProStart powered on, press POWER / LIGHT to cycle the backlight between white, off, and red.
If your ProStart has a low battery, the backlight will automatically turn off to reduce power consumption and extend the runtime of your ProStart.

Configuration 23
Magnetic Declination
When set to the local declination, the COG will be referenced to local magnetic north. Positive declination represents east and negative declination represents west. To reference the COG measurement to true north, use 0 for compass declination. Default magnetic declination is 0 degrees.
When using a magnetic compass in conjunction with the ProStart, setting the magnetic declination to the local declination can be useful since both instruments will be referenced to magnetic north.
NOTE It is important to enter your local magnetic declination for the Line Square To feature to work with your magnetic compass.
Three resources for finding your Local Magnetic Declination:
Enter http://www.magnetic-declination.com/ into your web browser
Enter https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml
into your web browser
Search “magnetic declination calculator” in the search engine of your choice
Bow Offset
Setting the bow offset is optional.
Bow offset is the distance in meters from where the ProStart is mounted to the bow of your boat. In start mode the offset is used to calculate the distance between the tip of your bow and the start line.
The default is 0 meters.
For more information on setting the line with and without the bow offset see Understanding Distance to
Start Line section on page 25.
Heading / COG
You can select magnetic heading (compass) or COG (GPS direction you are moving) for your direction output. This information is displayed on the top line of data in Race Mode.
When magnetic heading is selected, your heading will be displayed in three digits at all times. When COG is selected, your course will be displayed without leading zeros.
Compass Damping
The damping rate affects the response of the ProStart to a change in heading. The greater the damping value the smoother the heading change will be, but the slower the response will be to a change in heading.
Configuration 24
The ProStart has three levels of damping 0 (no damping), 1 (low), and 2 (high). The factory default setting is 0 or no damping. To change the damping enter ‘User Setup’, navigate to the damping setting menu and then press the line set buttons to adjust the damping up or down.
Selecting the appropriate damping level is a personal preference usually based on the wind and water conditions.
For example, in steady wind and flat water, no damping (level 0) is recommended. However, in high wind with lumpy water damping will eliminate large heading variations that can make judging a wind shift difficult.
Understanding ‘Distance to Line’ 25
Understanding ‘Distance to Line’
Once you have set (pinged) both ends of the starting line the ProStart connects these two points in a straight line of infinite length. The ProStart calculates distance to line as its perpendicular distance to the infinite start line.
The ends of the line should be set when the bow of your boat is on the line. When you set the ends of the line, approach each ping in the same direction you would if you were approaching the line to start the race.
Pinging without the bow offset
Pinging without the bow offset, the ProStart calculates distance to line as the perpendicular distance from its current position to the straight line between its positions at the time of your line set pings.
The illustration below provides a graphical definition of distance to the start line and how you can set it when you are not using the bow offset.

Understanding ‘Distance to Line’ 26
Setting the Ends
The start line ends can be set anywhere along the start line. We recommend sighting both the pin and the race committee ends from outside the line. Another method is to get close to the ends just inside the line and set them. The ends can be set at any time and in any order.
1.
Approach the line slowly from below with a consistent speed and heading.
2.
Press the PIN / RC button when your bow is on the line.
Press the RC button to set the right end of the line
Press the PIN button to set the left end of the line
We recommend setting the ends of the line for the start of each race, regardless of whether the line has moved.
How to use Time and Distance
Balancing time and distance to hit the line at the gun, close hauled and at full speed is the stuff good starts are made of.
To accomplish this goal, many top sailors establish a ratio of time to distance or distance to time.
Conveniently in boats in the 20-25 foot range, the ratio is often 1:1. Your ratio(s) may vary.
A timed run at the line is a good way to figure out your time and distance ratio.
Understanding ‘Line Square To’ 27
Understanding ‘Line Square To’
To display ‘Line Square To’ bearing, press the MODE and MAX buttons at the same time. ‘Line Square To’ will flash three times on the screen:
‘Line Square To’ is calculated as the magnetic bearing from the right end of the line to the left end of the line plus 90°. See image below for an illustration of how this figure is calculated:
155 °
Pin
+ 90 °
Race Committee
065 °
IMPORTANT In order for the ‘Line Square To’ output to work with your magnetic compass, you need to have your local magnetic declination entered into the ProStart. See the Configuration section on page 20 for instructions on entering your local magnetic declination into the ProStart.
How to use ‘Line Square To’
On a course with the first mark to windward, ‘Line Square To’ is a tactical aid which gives you information about which end of the line is favored. Shoot head to wind, check the bearing on a magnetic compass and compare this measurement with ‘Line Square To.’
The right side of the line is favored when the Wind Direction is to the right of ‘Line Square To.’
The left side of the line is favored when Wind Direction is to the left of ‘Line Square To.’
Data Storage
How much does ‘Line Square To’ matter? Ten degrees of line bias favors one end over the other by approximately 20% of the length of the line.
28
Data Storage
The ProStart records data at 4 Hz (four times per second).
