    (Figure 12). If the CHARGING LED is off (or flashing) and the BATTERY FULL LED is on, the battery is fully charged. When the HS-200 system is being powered by the battery and is not plugged into the wall, the BATTERY FULL and BATTERY LOW LEDs show battery status. The green BATTERY FULL LED indicates when the battery voltage level is fine for operation.

    Note: For safety reasons, when using the remote strobe near water, use battery power for device operation to minimize the risk of electrical shock. The HS-200 remote strobe operates the same way whether using AC power or battery power. The remote strobe includes a circuit that will recharge the internal battery when the wallpack power supply is connected to a 120 VAC outlet.

    If it is necessary to use more than one HS-200R unit in the same facility – or within 900’ (275 m) of each other – simply set both wireless systems to different channels. Note: A single belt pack CANNOT operate multiple horn starts; a separate wireless belt pack is required to control each HS-200 unit. Accessories...
