3.4 Remote Strobe
Mounting Bracket & Strap
A mounting bracket and strap are included
with the remote strobe for mounting to a
backstroke flagpole or to a start block.
The remote strobe also has rubber feet for
setting on any flat surface.
Battery Operation
The HS-200 remote strobe includes an internal
12 VDC battery that provides up to 15 hours of
continuous use. Using the remote strobe on
battery power requires one end of a start
extension cable with the dual banana plug to be
plugged into the UNIVERSAL START INPUT (Figure 19).
The other end of the cable should plug into either the N/O 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. Use N/O start output when using Daktronics or CTS timers. Use N/C
when using Omega timers.
The remote strobe turns on automatically when it receives a start signal from the start unit.
The green PWR ON LED will light and the internal buzzer will sound.
The remote strobe requires a 15-second period between start signals to produce a flash.
Any start signal received within 15 seconds of the previous start signal will sound the
internal buzzer but may not flash the strobe. To simulate a start with a backup push button,
connect the button into the start input and press the button until the remote strobe flashes.
In order to conserve battery life, the remote strobe will turn itself off after one hour with no
use. To turn the strobe back on, connect it to the starting device and send a start signal.
Multiple start signals may be needed in order to charge the strobe. Apply start signals until
the strobe flashes.
When the internal battery reaches a low level, the red BATTERY LOW LED will light for
approximately 30 seconds and the remote strobe will turn off. Any start signal received after
the internal battery is low will light the BATTERY LOW LED momentarily.
