4.1.9 TEST function
E Figure 4.2
Each channel may be tested individually, or as a group, by fading them from 0 to
100%. Any previously disabled channel may be selected and tested.
• Press the TEST keypad button and the display will show “TEST”.
• Next press the desired channel SELECT buttons. This will take the selected
channel(s) off-line from the DMX input. The remaining channel(s) will stay
on-line.
• The STATUS LED(s) will flash to indicate which channel(s) are under test. As
the LEVEL/FUNCTION encoder wheel is rotated, the channel level(s) will
change from their current level.
• When all tests are completed, press the NORMAL button. The display will
change to “OK” to indicate the dimmer is now back in normal operating mode
and all channels are once again on-line to the DMX input control signal.

LAMPS MAY RESULT.
• Hold down the MODE and DMX BANK buttons while turning power ON to the
dimmer.
• Use the FUNCTION encoder wheel to select either “120V” output or “240V”
output on the display and press ENTER. Individual channel output voltage may be
changed later via the MODE menu (see section 4.1.4.1).
• Next use the encoder wheel to select “12ch” output (for HP12-TR / HP12-SC),
