CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE. MUST BE REPLACED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. CONTACT DAKTRONICS. WARNING! Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or open fire.
The purpose of this is to insure that no competitor has an unfair advantage by intimidation, position, jump or delay. Daktronics has developed a start system that ensures reliability and fair starts for all. Its straightforward design produces a loud sound, bright visual strobe and precise electronic signal.
System Setup & Operations HS-200 Indicators, Switches, Knobs & Connections The connection panel of the HS-200 horn start (Figure 3) is where all connection, adjustments, and status indicators are located. 1� The group of four LEDs stacked vertically on the upper left corner performs two functions.
Start System Setup Reference Drawings: HS-200 Horn Start; On-Deck configuration ............DWG-185695 Refer to Figure 4 (In-Deck) and Figure 5 (On-Deck) for a typical overview when placing the start system components. START HS-200 WALL PLATE #1 DECK PLATE LMI LOCATED BEHIND PLATE...

Omega console to the N/C connectors on the HS-200. • If using the HS-200 horn start with a Colorado Timing System console, connect the start cable from the CTS console to the START connectors on the HS-200. Connect the microphone cable into the jack labeled MIC on the HS-200.
(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.
The LEDs should stop flashing. Enable or Disable Smart Start The HS-200 horn start can detect a connection from the timer console. If the horn start is connected to an OmniSport 2000 timing console, the Smart Start will sense the timer via the dual banana plug extension cable plugged into the START or N/C input.
2� Turn the power switch on and immediately press and hold both the PUSH TO TALK and top buttons. 3� The horn start speaker will sound off a Start tone. The HS-200 horn start is now in Practice Mode. 4� Cycling the power switch of the HS-200 to will set the horn start back to normal.
Figure 16: Remote Strobe UNIVERSAL START INPUT (Figure 16). The other end of the cable should plug into either the START or N/C jack on the HS-200. If the HS-200 is also connected to the OmniSport timer, the remote strobe cable will piggyback onto the timer output cable.
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.
Figure 17. 6� Press the side push-to-talk lever and speak into the microphone. The DATA LED on the HS-200 unit should light up. To send a start signal, hold the side push-to-talk lever and press the top button.
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...
Make sure the READY/RECALL LED is lit and steady. If the BATTERY LOW LED is on, plug the HS-200/HS-200R into the wall outlet and retry. Send up to 4-6 start signals into the remote strobe. The capacitor must be energized first to work properly. If it still does not work, the strobe light must be replaced.
