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
ash. Any start signal received within 15 seconds of the previous start signal will sound
the internal buzzer but may not ash 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 ashes.
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 ashes.
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.
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.
Wireless Microphone
The HS-200R wireless microphone 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 retrotted with an
internal radio module to use a wireless microphone. With the wireless microphone option,
two microphones can be used; one wireless and one wired as a backup.
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 Operations (p�6).
