TEST MODE
This chapter will help you operate the MP-70/50 control in a special TEST mode
in order to verify that all lamp circuits are functioning properly. If you need
additional help, contact the Trans-Lux Help Desk as instructed at CONTACTING
THE HELP DESK on page 6.
Note: TEST mode is not supported on indoor TeleLite® models or on high-
voltage outdoor models.
Before entering TEST mode, program your MP-70/50 control for your specific
board type. See Programming the System Settings on page 142. If you are using
the wireless option, a good idea data link connection should be verified before
attempting to use TEST mode.
ENTERING TEST MODE
1. Turn off the control.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Hold down the 8 key while turning the control back on. The bottom line
of the LCD will display TEST mode.
Each digit on the scoreboard, individually and in succession, will start counting
from 0 to 9 and then display the number 8. This cycle begins with driver circuit 1
of pack 1 and exercises all circuits on the scoreboard. The rate of counting is
approximately three-tenths of a second for each displayed number. This process
will continue until all digits on the scoreboards have counted and are displaying
the number 8.
At this point the fully illuminated board will hold for approximately three seconds.
During that time the horn will sound for a brief period. At the end of the three
seconds the scoreboard will blank and start again at the beginning, continuing to
cycle as described above.
EXIT TEST MODE
To exit, turn the control off. The MP-70/50 control will automatically return to
normal operation the next time it is turned on.
TEAM NAME TESTING
If you have electronic team name areas on your scoreboard, TEST mode will
also test those areas.
