Niles Audio RVL-6 - Manual (Page 41)

• Poor operation: Start raising the level (a quarter turn clockwise each time) and retesting until level
is back to full.
• Poor operation continues: Go to Step 15
15) Test flashers.
A) If you have only ONE FLASHER, reconnect it to the other FLASHER output. Retest the system.
• Good operation: Congratulations!
• Poor operation: Go to Step 17
B) If you have MORE THAN ONE FLASHER, disconnect all of them and reconnect one flasher at a time. Test for
improved operation. Continue testing until you have identified the defective flasher. Test all of your flashers.
• All flashers appear defective: Go to Step 16
• One flasher doesn’t work: Return the defective flasher to your dealer
• All flashers now work: Congratulations!
16) Test flasher outputs
Reconnect one flasher to the second flasher output of the RVL-6. Test for improved operation. Repeat Step 14
(adjust flasher level and position). Test for improved operation.
• Good operation: Congratulations!
• Poor operation: Repeat this step with another flasher. Retest.
• Poor operation continues: Go to Step 17
17) Sensors in the same room as a flasher?
• If you have a sensor in the same room as a flasher or the sensor built-in to the RVL-6 has not been
disabled: Go to Step 18
• If all sensors are in other rooms and the sensor built-in to the RVL-6 has been disabled: Go to Step 19
18) Optical feedback loop
If there is an IR sensor and an IR flasher located within the same room an "optical IR feedback loop" can occur.
If you are using the front panel sensor of the RVL-6, either disable it by moving the E Dip switch to the down
or “Disable” position or replace any IRC-1 Flooding Flasher with an IRC-2 MicroFlasher on the front panel sen-
sor window of each component. Place the IR blocking cover supplied with the IRC-2 over each of the flash-
ers. Retest the system.
• Good Operation: Congratulations!
• Poor Operation: Go to Step 14 (adjust flasher level and position) Retest system.
• Still Poor Operation: Go to Step 19
19) Interference that does not light the IR confirm LED
Some very rare examples of interference (both optical and electro-magnetic) do not light up the IR CONFIRM
LED but do prevent proper operation. Go to steps 33 and 34. Examine your installation carefully for a source
of low-level optical or electro-magnetic interference.
