Operating Test Software
Note: In default mode, only Port 1 is selected for test operations. Only luminaire connected to Port 1 will respond to
test commands.
To use Smart Repeater testing function:
Step 1. Set Smart Repeater thumbwheel switch to 000 and connect luminaire to be tested to Port 1. (Up to six
luminaires may be connected, but at least one must be connected to start test mode.)
Step 2. Apply power to Smart Repeater unit.
Step 3. Check LED display. Display should read [ Sr uP], meaning "Smart Repeater Up."
Step 4. Check LED display. Display should read [ P1 F=n], which means "Port 1 Form and Function Value=n," which
indicates luminaire is online at Port 1. n=7 for VL5 luminaire, n=8 for VLM moving mirror unit, and n=9 for
VL6 luminaire. Luminaire goes through normal calibration, except for position it is in when it stops.
Step 5. After calibration, press buttons above and below thumbwheel switch to enter desired test codes for testing
particular luminaire functions. To select other ports for testing, set the thumbwheel switch to 051 and use
the test parameter place on the thumbwheels switch (the hundreds digit) to select the desired ports: 0 for all
ports, 1 through 6 for ports 1 through 6 respectively.
