Use this checklist to ensure your Daktronics Aquatic Systems is operating properly and looking
as good as possible. We recommend completing these checks every six months, or whenever
you suspect an issue with your display. In most circumstances, the owner or operator of the
display should be able to complete this checklist. For additional information and
troubleshooting resources, see the appropriate manual for your display.
Checklist Task Key Points
OmniSport 2000
oVisually inspect the OmniSport for damage/corrosion. (indicators, switches,
knobs, and connections).
oEnsure keypad buttons are all functional.

oTesting:
1. Verify deck plate connections are received into the
OmniSport 2000.
2. Connect the OmniSport 2000 and all cabling to the proper wall plate
in order to receive touchpad and button data.
3. Turn on the OmniSport 2000 and enter swimming mode.
4. The OmniSport should show ( - ) marks across the LCD for the proper
number of lanes.
5. Press MENU > 5 > 2 to go into the testing mode.
6. Test each deck plate by placing a push button into each
touchpad/button connection and pressing the button. TP, B1, B2, B3
will display on the OmniSport 2000 LCD if working correctly.
Horn Start
oVisually inspect horn start and microphone. (indicators, switches, knobs,
cabling, and connections).
oTesting:
1. Test for charger functionality by connecting to the
HS-200. Charging LED should light when plugged in.
2. Ensure microphone is connected to the horn start assembly. Wireless
models, ensure belt pack has a new battery, and matches the wireless
channel set on the HS-200 base assembly, and has the antenna
mounted on the base unit.
3. Set volume controls to desired levels (not min or max) and power up
the HS-200 unit.
4. When the ON-READY LED is on, press the PUSH TO TALK lever
while speaking to ensure audible, then while holding this press small
button on top of the mic at the same time. This will trigger a tone and
a strobe from the HS-200 assembly, while starting the clock on the
OmniSport.
A dual banana (start cable) will need to be ran between
the HS-200 and the OmniSport start circuit to initiate the
start. *OmniSport 2000 Start Input settings much match
connection at the HS-200 (N.O. vs. N.C.).
Lane and/or Aux speakers must be connected to test
each remote speaker/location.

Touchpads
o
Visually inspect touchpads for dents, scrapes, smudge marks, delamination,
and mounting hardware.
oEnsure edge protectors are surrounding the perimeter of the face
are secure.
oVisually inspect touchpad cart for any damage.
oTesting:
Dry Test
1. While touchpads are on the cart, or laying out on the desk, a
continuity/resistance check can be completed.
2. Connect voltmeter to positive and negative terminal of touchpad
cable and set the meter to resistance/
continuity mode.
3. While sitting idle, the touchpad should register an open
connection, and when pressing on the pad, it should create a
shorted connection.
4. If the pad passes the try test, it can be put in the water to
complete the we test by measuring for DC voltage.
Wet Test 1
1. Place all touchpads into the water and connect to their
lane connections.
2. Turn on the OmniSport 2000 and go into swimming mode.
3. Press MENU > 5 > 2 and go into the test mode.
4. Use your hand or a swimmer to tap the surface of the touchpad
and ensure it registers on the OmniSport. A TP will appear on
the LCD of the OmniSport for the lane being tested.
Wet Test 2
1. Place all touchpads into the water and connect to their lane
connections.
2. Using the voltmeter set to DC voltage, make contact with the
touchpad cable pins (ensure polarity is followed).
3. While sitting idle, the pad should read ~.25 VDC.
4. When a touch is registered, the pad should drop to 0 VDC.
5. Once the touch is released, the pad should return to ~.25 VDC.
*This should take about 5-8 seconds

deck connection.
Relay Take-off
Platform
oVisually inspect the sides, back and front for cracks and/or breaks.
oVisually inspect the gray electronics box for cracks.
oVisually inspect the cable strain reliefs, ensuring they are secure and not
broken, loose, or missing.
oVisually inspect the RTOP cart for any damage.
oTesting:
1. Ensure a new battery (if possible) is installed in the electronics box.
2. Verify the red LED on the electronics box is flashing.
*The RTOP must be plugged into the lane harness and the OmniSport
connected and setup in Swimming mode.
3. Place your hand flat on the RTOP and hold for two seconds.
4. Remove you hand quickly, and the red LED will turn solid for ~1
second then return back to a flashing/ready state.
5. The RTOP time should also be able to be captured on the OmniSport
printout as long as settings/event are configured correctly.
