EM264 Self Test Mode
EM264’s Self test mode allows you to run a number of diagnostic self tests. Set the rotary switches as shown below to select the desired test. Press [Reset] to start the test. When you press [Reset], all the LEDs flash three times then turn off (except for the Power LED which stays on throughout all the tests), the EM264 resets and the self test runs.
Switch settings
Some of the tests allow you to set the speed at which the test runs. The rate is determined by the setting of rotary switch 3. Set the rotary switch to 0 to freeze the test. Settings from 1 to 9 set the speed from the slowest rate to the fastest rate respectively. In the Level to all test, the rotary switches allow you to set output levels of zero through 100 percent.
Serial Input/Output (SIO) port test
If the EM264 is equipped with SIO receiver hardware, this test confirms that the SIO port is functioning. The optional SIO test module must be installed to run this test. Set the front panel rotary switches to 810 and press [Reset] to run the test. If the test encounters an error, the Error LED flashes.
Output chase
This test flashes each of the system’s outputs from 1 through 64, one at a time, to confirm that all outputs are functioning. Set the front panel rotary switches 1 and 2 to 91 and press [Reset] to run the test. Adjust the speed of the test by setting rotary switch 3 from 0 to 9 as noted in Switch settings.
Fade all dimmers
This test fades all outputs simultaneously from off to full and back to off. Set rotary switches 1 and 2 to 92 and press [Reset] to run the test. Adjust the speed of the test by setting rotary switch 3 from 0 to 9 as noted in Switch settings.
Fade one dimmer
This test fades each output from off to full and back to off one at a time. Set the front panel rotary switches 1 and 2 to 93 and press [Reset] to run the test. Adjust the speed of the test by setting rotary switch 3 from 0 to 9 as noted in Switch settings.
Set one dimmer on
This test raises a specified output to full. Set the front panel rotary switches 1 and 2 to 94 and press [Reset] to run the test. Once the test starts, set the number of the desired dimmer (from 001 to 064) using the rotary switches.
Set level to all dimmers
This test raises all outputs to a specified level. Set the front panel rotary switches 1 and 2 to 95 and press [Reset] to run the test. Once the test starts, use the three rotary switches to set the level percentage you desire (from 000 to 100).
Watchdog test
The EM264's Watchdog function monitors the EM264 and restarts the processor if it malfunctions. This test checks the module’s Watchdog function. Set the front panel rotary switches to 960 and press [Reset] to run the test. The LEDs light, then turn off one at a time. If the function works, the processor will reset within two seconds. If the test encounters an error, the Error LED will flash.
