2. Observe the LCD display for test results.
3. When the test is complete, set SW3 back to 0 or F to display status messages.

Use caution when activating outputs in a live system. For example, if the output opens the
shipping door, the shipping door will open when you test it.
NOTE 
Diagnostic tests add overhead to iSTAR Ultra processing, and may degrade system
performance. When the diagnostic tests are complete, deactivate the test by resetting SW3
to display status information.
