RACALITE TEST PROCEDURE
WARNING
Mains voltages exist under controller cover. Do not connect or dis-connect any wiring while
mains power is still applied.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: High sensitivity (e.g. 20k Ohm/V) multimeter.
FUNCTIONAL TESTS
1. Switch controller to “automatic� operation ad slide switch to “walk test� position;
observe lights (load). Wait at least 1 minute for system to settle.
If the lights activate when no movement is present in front of the heads; Go to 3.
Activate each head in turn. If not all heads active; Go to 4.
2. Remove mains power. Disconnect the “daylight sense� wire from the controller.
Switch to “automatic� and “1� minute. Apply mains power and allow the system to
settle down. Trigger the system once. Measure the time that the lights are on - this
should be approximately 1 minute. Repeat for “5� and “10� minutes. If times are
wrong; Go to 3. Remove mains power. Reconnect daylight sense. Switch to “1�
minute, apply mains power, allow system to settle (wait at least 1 minute) check that
daylight disable operates and system cannot be triggered during daylight.
NOTE: In mult-head system the daylight sense terminal from only 1 head should be
connected to the controller. Choose the head which is in the brightest location.
VOLTAGE TESTS
3. Switch controller to “automatic� operation and slide switch to 1 minute. Measure the voltages between the following points:-Terminals
L&N 240 Vac (120 Vac on RLCIA)
All voltages are positive and measured with respect to “12V Power - “
“12V power +� 11.5 - 12.5 V
“Trigger� - untriggered 8.5 - 11.0 V
- triggered 0 - 1.5 V
“Daylight sense� - day 8.5 - 11.5 V
- night 0 - 1.5 V
* This voltage is only present momentarily while there is movement in front of the head
