Self Tests
Running Parameter Tests
The luminaire is capable of running self tests by using the TEST menu functions. For complete details
and values for each test refer to “Diagnostic Tests” on page 64 .
When running tests on multiple luminaires, a DMX termination connector is required at the last
luminaire in the link. (Refer to
page 18 for more information regarding the construction of this
connector.).
Figure 4-5: Test Setup
To run tests:
Step 1. Press [ESC].
Step 2. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows until
Test appears. Press [OK].
Step 3. Use [Up] / [Down] arrows to select a parameter to test. Refer to “Menu System Functions”
on page 59 for a complete list of test parameters which can be chosen.
Step 4. Press [OK] to run test.
Step 5. Press [ESC] to stop test at any time.
Note: Connected luminaires may not respond on the first action (may delay) of the master luminaire.
Movement Disable
The Movement option allows pan and tilt to be disabled so that the luminaire can be placed in any
position for testing without movement occurring. In order to regain full control of the luminaire,
Movement will need to be enabled after testing.
Note: When using the Movement option, pan and tilt will be disabled for all the luminaires that are
linked.
