EM24 Self Test Mode

The EM24 allows you to run a number of built-in diagnostic procedures. To enter Self test mode, set the thumbwheels on the front panel to the number of the test you want to run. Set the Data Type jumper (at location J3) to the DMX position. Next, push [Reset]. The data LED flashes five times, the system resets, and the self test you chose runs.  

Thumbwheel Test
90 Test preset AD control (factory only)
92 Chase
93 Fade all
94 Fade one
96 Level to all
97 Relay driver test (factory only)
98 Turn on a driver (factory only)on

Tests 92, 93 and 94 allow you to adjust the speed at which they run using the ones digit on your front panel thumbwheel. A zero entry freezes the test at the point it is entered. One through nine set the speed from fast to slow, respectively. Test 96 allows you to set the level of your outputs on the thumbwheel.

Chase (92)

The chase test runs through all the system’s outputs from 1 through 24. This test confirms that all outputs are functioning. You can adjust the speed of the test by changing the settings on your thumbwheel.

Fade all (93)

This level test fades all outputs simultaneously from off to full and back to off in a slow cycle. You can adjust the speed of the test by changing the settings on your thumbwheel.

Fade one (94)

This level test fades each output from off to full and back to off one at a time. You can adjust the speed of the test by changing the settings on your thumbwheel.

Level to all (96)

This test raises all outputs to a level specified on your thumbwheels. Set the desired level percentage between 00 and 99. The test will not start until the percentage is set.
