Basic Timing System Maintenance
After each meet, it is crucial to follow these basic maintenance procedures to ensure the
longevity of the timing equipment.
• Turn off the power to all equipment including the OmniSport 2000 console, HS-
200 horn start, results computer, OmniSport 2000 Pro computer, matrix computer,
scoreboard, printers and any other equipment associated with the system.
• When the system is set up for an event, touchpads should be removed from the
water every 48 hours, inspected, and allowed to dry for 6 hours.
• Inspect the cable and connector for nicks, cuts, and corrosion. Use the brush
provided in the maintenance kit to remove any corrosion from the banana
connections.
• Verify that all edge protectors are securely in place.
• Verify the boot along the top front bend is not cut.
• At the end of each meet, remove the touchpads from the pool, and store them in a
room outside of the pool environment and chemicals. Recommended temperatures
in storage area should range between 33° F and 90° F (55° C and 32.2° C) with
adequate fresh air circulation. Daktronics offers an optional touchpad cart for easy
transport and storage.
• Coat all cleaned cabling connections with silicone grease (Daktronics Part# LU-
1002), included in the maintenance kit.
• Completely dry all equipment and place into appropriate tote or carrying cases for
storage. Place portable cabling equipment into a storage tote.
