Testing

Running Parameter Tests

The luminaire is capable of running self tests by using the TEST menu functions.

When running tests on multiple luminaires, a loopback connector is required at the

master luminaire (first in link) and a male termination connector is required at the last

luminaire in the link. Refer to the VL1000 ERS User’s Manual for more information

regarding these connectors.

Note: After 10 seconds of inactivity, the menu display will change to the default state

showing the address.

To connect luminaires for simultaneous testing:

Step 1. At first luminaire in link, install loopback connector into DATA IN XLR

connector.

Step 2. At last luminaire, install male termination connector into DATA THRU XLR

connector.

Step 3. At master luminaire Menu Display, press [Menu].

Movement Disable

The Movement option has been added to the configuration menu. This allows for

pan/tilt functions 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 setting the Movement option to disable, luminaires linked by a

loopback connector will have pan and tilt disabled for all the luminaires that are

linked.
