Ballast Test
When you hear a buzzing sound from the fixture or the
lamps flicker or do not light up, check the ballast to see if it
needs to be replaced. The Ballast Test verifies that the
ballast is providing an ac voltage to the fluorescent lamp
and senses the presence of the voltage at the filament
ends of the lamp.
The fixture must be turned on for this test.
To test (see Table 4):
1. Turn on the Product.
2. Push
for <1 second. The green light around the
button perimeter turns on and the LED test indicator
blinks green
.
3. Pull out the rod extender and scan
≤
10 cm (4 in) at
both ends of the fluorescent bulb.
A solid green LED indicates that a good ballast has
been found
.
If a good ballast is not found, the LED continues to
blink and times out (turns off) after 1 minute
.
Note
The Product goes to the default Pin Test mode
after 30 seconds of non-use.
