Troubleshooting Ensure all tests are undertaken by a qualified, trained engineer Ensure safe working practices are followed at all times Step 1 Basics Check polarity of illuminator connection: red= +ve, black= -ve Ensure PSU outputs provide 24V DC Ensure telemetry wires are shorted out or closed contact input (zero volt) is applied Check photocell is working. Cover illuminator photocell fully, light should turn on.
Check the LED status indicator on standard VARIO illuminators (not applicable for VARIO IP) – if a flashing red light is visible in programming mode, please check the input voltage of the unit.
