MyChron5
Twenty years ago we installed the first
MyChron…
The original simple concept of a personal
chronograph automatically showing lap times
and other important information to the racer
has remained the core of the system, that, in
the meantime, has improved and improved till
arriving to the now borning Fifth Generation.
Introducing now MyChron5, we are deeply
grateful to all of you, that have followed us
during all this time, in all the tracks of the
world, in every category, in every country.
We are deeply grateful to all our dealers,
distributors, friends that have spent their lives
on the track, attending our systems, helping
everybody to start using them, repairing them
when they required to be repaired, giving us
the important feedbacks that allowed us to
improve them constantly in all these years.
Thank you.

1. MyChron5 in a few
words
MyChron5 is a gauge designed for
being installed on a kart.
02 03
It reads and records:
n RPM at high frequencies (up to 50
times per second) from the spark cable
n One or two temperature values
(depending upon the model).
They can be exhaust gas, underspark,
or water temperatures.
n All parameters coming from the
GPS/Glonass costellations: speed,
position, lateral acceleration and time
of day with precision of one
millisecond.
The receiver has been tuned for our
sport, so it accepts all the strong lateral
and linear accelerations, change of
direction and vibrations without any
problem, always giving a perfect result
ten times per second.
MyChron5 uses the GPS and Glonass
data for calculating lap time. It comes
with more than 1500 tracks in the inter-
nal database, so it automatically reco-
gnizes the track in which you are
racing, it knows the position of the
starting line and eventually of the split
points and can calculate the lap/split
times with a high precision.
All these data are recorded in a huge
4GB internal memory, enough for re-
cording your data for thousand of
hours.

Power comes from the internal battery
or, as an option, from the external
power supply. The battery is included.
It is a huge, removable three-amp
lithium ion rechargeable battery,
which comes with a battery charger.
It may give power to your system for
ten hours.
MyChron5 is e pandable: you can
connect to the CAN bus:
- SmartyCam HD
- Lambda Sensor
- MyChron Expansion
The display is a wide LCD display with
an RGB backlight that you can easily
configure.
By the way, the backlight
automatically turns on when the
ambient light is low, thanks to a
dedicated light sensor.
There are two RGB alarm LEDs: you can
configure the color, blinking frequency,
and event to which to connect them.
There are five RGB shift lights for gear
change, better monitoring of RPM, or
lap time indications.
Then, you can analyze your data using
the worldwide, well-known RaceStudio
software, freely downloadable from
our website.
You can download your data to your PC
using a WiFi connection.

3. Installation RPM Clip Installation
Your MyChron5 has been designed for being installed on the steering wheel of your
kart.
In order to reduce vibrations to your MyChron5, please mount the rubber washer
above and under the spoke of the steering wheel, as shown the picture below:

"Do not run the RPM lead in any type of tubing; it should be run
right along the frame rail.
Take care not to overtighten the tie wraps. If your lead is too
long, don't coil it up; just cut the tach end to length.
At the tach end, make sure that the lead loops through the two
small holes and then extends out about half an inch and then
use a small tie wrap to keep it snug.
It is very important to pull the RPM wire about four inches through one side of the clip then
wrap the wire around your plug lead a couple of times and back through the opposite side of
the clip."
A clean RPM signal is key to good performance from your MyChron. To get a clean
signal, it's important that the RPM lead be installed correctly in order to pick up a
strong signal from the plug wire.

4. Configuration Menu
Before using your MyChron5, don't forget to set some parameters, as explained
below. You can enter the Configuration Menu by pressing the ME U button.
The icons have the following meanings:
The Wizard icon helps you to set the most important parameters of your new MyChron 5:
n Language
n Temperature unit (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
n Speed unit (mph or m/h)
n Maximum RPM
n Drive type (direct drive, low-stall clutch, gearbox)
By scrolling through the icons, you can easily set all the required parameters.
Only a few of them require some deeper explanation.

4.1 Backlight
You can set the backlight to on, off, or automatic. In this last case, the light sensor
positioned on the front left of your MyChron5 turns the light on or off depending on
the external light level. Here, you can also change the backlight color, choosing
among six different possibilities.
4.2 Parameter Configuration
Please select the Param Config icon for setting the general purpose parameters.
Through this page you can set:
n Unit of measure for speed ( m/h or mph) and temperature ( Celsius or Fahrenheit)
n RPM end of scale
n Lap setup
n Temperature frequency: 20 or 50 Hz
n Water temperature alarm
n EGT alarm

The lap setup brings you to the following page:
Lap show time can change between:
n static
n rolling
n - +/- best
n predictive
RPM frequency: RPM can be read 20 or 50 times per second ( 20 or 50 Hz), in dependence upon
your necessities:
20 samples per second let you have a cleaner signal, and make easier to see the RPM trend,
while 50 samples per second let you better recognize the vibration of the chassis and all the
strengths that can create problems to the ideal movement of your kart.
In the above picture you can see both data, at 20 and 50 Hz, in order to note the differences in
acquisition.
