Fehlstartsockel


Explanation:
It sounds like a literal home-made translation, but this is the term that for example ALGE, a specialist in swim-timing, uses.

They also have "Startsockel", which includes the false start function, or "Fehlstartplatte", which is another piece of equipment. But here I guess you talk about the "Fehlstartsockel.

Chris
