This section gives detailed information about troubleshooting some of the situations
that the HS-200/HS-200R system operator may experience� If the actions listed in this
section are unable to be performed or do not solve a particular issue, contact a local
representative or Daktronics Customer Service Department for assistance�
Troubleshooting Tips
Aux or Lane speaker is not working
Connect the correct speaker directly to the appropriate HS-200/HS-200R jack without
any extension cables. If the speaker still does not work, the speaker is faulty and must be
replaced. If the speaker begins to work, the cable that connects to that speaker is at
fault and must be repaired or replaced.
The microphone is not working
Make sure the power is on and that the volume controls are up high enough to be
heard. Press the microphone PUSH TO TALK lever and Start/Recall buttons simultaneously
to attempt a start. Disconnect and reconnect the microphone to ensure a good
connection. If there is a microphone extension cable being used, unplug it and the plug
the microphone into the horn start directly. If either the start function or microphone still
does not work, the microphone must be replaced.
The strobe light does not work
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 rst to work properly. If it still does not work, the
strobe light must be replaced.
Microphone works but the horn start will not Start/Strobe
Ensure that the horn start Smart Start setting is set to the desired mode of operation as
described in Enable or Disable Smart Start (p�8). If the Smart Start is enabled, ensure
that the horn start unit is properly connected to a timing console such as an OmniSport
2000 controller, and that the cable is not damaged. Alternately, turn off Smart Start.
The recall tone does not sound
Verify the recall function is enabled on the HS-200/HS-200R unit. Refer to Enable or
Disable Recall (p�7).
The HS-200/HS-200R will not run with battery power
If the CHARGING LED is off and the BATTERY LOW LED is lit, the battery may no longer work
or may have been severely damaged due to long periods of usage when the battery
was underpowered. Plug the horn start into the wall outlet for 24 hours. If the same
problem occurs, the unit should be sent into Daktronics to have the battery replaced.
