The LED Fixture Test function causes the fixture(s) to flash independently of an activation input from a physical
pushbutton, time switch, internal calendar or external control. The test will activate the fixture for 5 seconds. “Test”
is a good way to determine whether a problem is caused by the fixtures.
Installers can do this from the EMS without having to climb down to the pushbutton or override box to test.

The BIST may report an ambient brightness sensor error (0080) because it is expecting a bright
light that tests the sensor during manufacturing. Shining a flashlight on the ambient brightness

generated.
The BIST will report a charger error (4000) if performed at night or on AC powered systems.
