7.0 Commissioning Checklist
After installing and programming the system, the following commissioning verification checklist helps ensure that
everything is working as it should be and that your flashing beacon is ready to serve the public for many years of
reliable and sustained operation.
All settings are correct, particularly the LED driver current (“Intensity” in EMS user interface), flash pattern
and flash duration (if applicable).
No LED fault message on the EMS.
For single or triple fixture systems, ensure the flash pattern is set for unison, 0.5A3, or stdy.
Fixtures flash properly.
Press pushbutton, use “TEST” at the EMS user interface at EMS, or activate override switch.
Light fixtures are tightened and pointed in the correct direction toward oncoming traffic lanes.
Retrieved calendar from R829-G and computer time used to set clock were accurate.
Solar panel pointed south (or wherever custom instructions required).
Override box (if equipped) correctly activates or deactivates the flashing (depending on product
configuration).
The solar panel mounts are secure, and the panel and mount assembly is unable to move or rotate out of
position.
No debris covering the photosensor window on top of the solar engine.
Vents are clear, and screens are intact.
Sealing gaskets on door are intact.
Solar panel is producing voltage in sunlight (use EMS “Solar” menu item).
System has clear sky access, and no removal of obstructions is required.
Note the possibility for nearby foliage to eventually shade the solar panel. If so, set a reminder to inspect
later.
Battery voltage is healthy (use either a voltmeter or EMS “Battery” menu item).
Verify fuses are intact (use voltmeter to confirm fuse continuity).
RRFB light bar flashing starts with left module first.
Remote systems are turning on and off correctly via wireless control.
Verify the indicator LEDs on the ends of light bars can be seen by pedestrians across the street.
