Output Diagnostics
The iSTAR eX provides three types of output tests:
 Output Change Display (slow) – tests a specific output that is activated 
manually by the technician
 Output Change Display (fast) – activates and tests every output on the 
system. (Onboard outputs, reader outputs and R/8 outputs)
 Output Test Mode – activates and tests onboard outputs one by one.
Output Change Display (Slow Mode)
The manual output test is an end-to-end test that displays information about 
outputs activated manually by a technician. The outputs you are testing can 
be attached to iSTAR eX through readers and R/8 boards. Information 
displays on the LED for two seconds. 
To activate the output change display test, set rotary switch SW1 to the 
position shown in Table 7.3.
Output Change Display (Fast Mode)
The output change display test is an end-to-end test that automatically 
activates all outputs attached to iSTAR eX. The outputs you are testing can be 
attached to iSTAR eX through readers and R/8 boards. Output information 
Do not activate outputs on a live system!
