Testing
A panel test function is available when the NV9641A is disconnected from the system controller.
Use it to determine the health of your NV9641A. See
on page 70 for detail.
These are points to consider after you install your NV9641A control panel(s):
1 Do the buttons illuminate? When an NV9641A powers up, its two leftmost LCD buttons are
supposed to turn green. Does it pass the panel test mentioned above?
2 When the NV9641A powers up and it is connected to the system controller, it should initial-
ize completely. (That takes about 30 seconds.) Whatever configuration exists for that panel
should be loaded and the buttons appropriate for that configuration should light in the col-
ors appropriate for that configuration.
If you continue to see “No Server,” “Acquiring IP Address,” or “Locating Network” on button 2,
you might have a problem. Reboot everything and try again.
The NV9641A, by default, acquires its IP address through DHCP on the panel/router
network of the system controller. You can use the Panel IP Configuration Utility to force
the panel to have a static IP address.
If (in setup mode) you do not see your designated panel ID on the first button, you have
either not initialized the panel or no configuration has been created for your panel in
NV9000-SE Utilities.
3 Is the system controller actually running? It can sometimes be difficult to tell.
4 Is NV9000-SE Utilities installed and operating? If so, can you upload a configuration to the
specified panel?
5 Does the configuration actually work? Can the operator perform takes and perform other
operations?
The design of an NV9641A “operator interface” is non-trivial. You might want to consider how
well your operator interface works in addition to the basic question of whether it works.
