AC Power Operation & Recharging
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. When the remote strobe is connected to AC
power, the green PWR ON LED lights up and the strobe is ready for use. The internal battery
will recharge in approximately three to four hours. Due to internal battery monitoring
circuitry, the remote strobe can be plugged into the wall for extended periods without
overcharging. The amber BAT CHRG LED is illuminated when the internal battery is
being charged.
Remote Strobe for Training Purposes
To use the remote strobe during training sessions, instead of connecting it to the HS-200 start
unit, a backup push button can be connected into the start input. When the backup push
button is pressed, the remote strobe will operate the same way it did when connected to the
start unit.
3.5 Wireless Microphone Belt Pack
The HS-200R wireless microphone belt pack is an accessory that allows the starter
to direct and start events without a wired connection to the horn start unit. The HS-200R
system is equipped with an internal radio module. A standard HS-200 system can be
retrofitted with an internal radio module to enable the use of the wireless microphone. With
the wireless microphone option, two microphones can be used; one wired and one wireless.
The same handheld microphone that plugs into the HS-200 directly, or via microphone
extension cords, is used with the wireless microphone belt pack. For operation of the
handheld microphone refer to Section 2.3.
Note: When the PUSH TO TALK lever is activated, a small “pop” sound occurs.
Using the Wireless Microphone Option
1. Verify that the belt pack has good batteries.
2. Set the Channel.
3. Plug the handheld microphone into the belt pack.
4. Clip the lanyard (neck strap) to the handheld
microphone as demonstrated in Figure 20.
5. Clip on belt pack and hang the lanyard from neck.
6. Proceed with starting events.
The decimal point on the CHANNEL # LCD illuminates when the microphone PUSH TO
TALK lever is pressed, indicating that the wireless microphone belt pack is transmitting.
