Testing the Detector Using a Test Lamp
Test the integrity of your system by using a Test Lamp. The original configuration (i.e.
sensitivity and relay options) can be changed by referring to Section 3.7 , and then changing
the dipswitch settings located on the bottom of the power board (SW1).
The instrument is now ready to operate. Please consult the Test Lamp manual for more
information on the instrument’s many features. If you have any problems in the set-up or testing
of the detector, please refer to the “Trouble Shooting Section”, or call the factory direct.
