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.
Homing the Fixture (HOME)
This menu item allows you to manually home the fixture.  If  you want 
to remotely home the fixture (using a DMX controller), use the control 
channel (DMX channel 18) (see Table 1 on page A-3 or Table 2 on page 
A-8
).
To manually home the fixture:
1.
Press and hold the <Menu> button until “ADDR” appears on the LED 
display.
2.
Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “TEST” menu 
and press the <Enter> button to select the “TEST” menu.
3.
Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “HOME” 
option.  (This will be the first option displayed.)
4.
Press the <Enter> button to select the “HOME” option.  The LED will 
alternately display “RST” and “HOME” while the fixture homes.
Turning the Lamp On or Off (LAMP)
You can manually turn the lamp on and off using either the TEST menu 
or the SET menu.  
To manually turn the lamp on or off via the TEST menu:
1.
Press and hold the <Menu> button until “ADDR” appears on the LED 
display.

Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “TEST” menu 
and press the <Enter> button to select the “TEST” menu.

Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “LAMP” menu 
and press the <Enter> button to select the “LAMP” menu.  
4.

strike the lamp, the “OFF” option to extinguish the lamp.
