HORN OPERATION
The wireless Polaris timer supports several different
horn options:
• Stand-alone horn.
• A horn built into some scoreboard models.
• The “PA Horn” (a direct connection between the
timer console and a PA system).
All horns provide the same functionality as described
in the instructions for each event. The primary differ-
ence is how each horn connects to the timer.
Note : To check horn operation, you can press the
HORN button on the timer console at any time to
sound the horn.
Mechanical Horns
Stand-Alone Horn
To connect the stand-alone horn, plug the gray cable
which exits from the horn into the
Horn jack on the
rear of the timer console. Plug the black power cord
from the horn into a standard 120 volt outlet.
Do not
hang or mount the horn by the wires which exit from
the horn
. In a wet environment, orient the horn so that
the horn’s cables exit downwards.
Scoreboard Horn
The scoreboards which use light bulbs have a horn
built into the scoreboard. Whenever the scoreboard is
connected to the timer console for normal operation
(by connecting the scoreboard’s data cable to the
Output jack on the timer console), the horn in the
scoreboard is also connected – no additional connec-
tion to the scoreboard is required to operate the horn.
PA Horn
Connection
The wireless Polaris console provides for a direct
connection between the timer console and a public
address system (PA system). The timer console con-
tains a digitized recording of our loud, stand-alone
horn. The PA system performs as if a microphone is
in front of a stand-alone horn – except there is no
horn and there is no microphone!
To use the PA Horn, connect the “Timer to PA Ca-
ble” provided with the timer (10 foot cable with a
stereo phone plug on one end and an RCA phono
plug on the other end) from the
Horn jack on the
timer console to a
line
input jack on your PA system.
(Line input jacks on a PA system are typically labeled
with names like “AUX”, “CD Input”, “Tape In”,
“Mix In”, etc.)
If a spare line input is not available, or you cannot
obtain the desired volume level, a cable to connect
the timer to a
microphone input on the PA is also
available. Contact FarmTek for more information.
