Test Menu (TEST)
The Test menu allows you to manually home the fixture, turn the lamp on or off, store new boot code information, perform fixture self tests, and place the fixture in setup mode. If you are experiencing problems that you suspect are mechanical, performing fixture self tests will help to determine where the problem originates. The procedures below are listed in the order that they appear on the menu map.
Note | To see the effects of the self tests, the lamp must be on. |
| If the lamp is off when you run the self test, the LED will |
| display “STRK” to indicate that the lamp is not struck, |
| and the fixture will attempt to strike the lamp |
| automatically. |
