CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to perform field repairs AND Daktronics will not provide any troubleshooting advice that involves opening up the Horn Start 200.  This is because the voltage levels on the External Strobe Module can reach up to 450v and trigger up to 6KV with dangerous and potentially fatal current levels.
