6.3  Test mode 

To enter test mode set DIP 7 and DIP 8 on. All other DIPs are set off. The light will enter test mode when 
power is turned on. To leave test mode turn off DIP 7 and DIP 8 and turn off the power. When power is 
turned on again the light returns to normal operation.

Test mode enabled. All other DIPs are off. 

 

Light mode is selected with DIPs 1-3. There is normally a delay when changing time day modes (day, twilight 
and night) based on photocell data. Using accelerated photocell mode will decrease the delay to a minimum.
