External Log start button

Postby redmistracing » Tue Sep 19, 2006 1:47 pm

When installing our DL1 in a single seater race car we found that when the engine was running the logger would self start after a random period of time, and then would keep self starting. After a long investigation this was found to happen even with a piece of wire, attached to the log start pin, or touching it with a screwdriver, even if it was nowhere near earth. The solution we have found is that it requires a screened cable, otherwise it seems to pick up a signal from somewhere in the car which is enougth to start the logger, with any piece of wire, even around 100mm long being able to act as an anntena - weird! Anyway problem seems to be solved now but just incase anyone else has the problem thought id put it on the forums.
