Self Tests

Running Parameter Tests

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

Note: If a DMX data stream is present on the luminaire’s DMX input connector, Self Test and Manual

control is overwritten by the DMX command protocol and neither (Self Test and Manual) will operate.

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

page 13 for more information regarding the construction of 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 DMX termination connector into DATA THRU XLR connector.

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