When you hear a buzzing sound from the fixture or the

and senses the presence of the voltage at the filament
ends of the lamp.
The fixture must be turned on for this test.

for <1 second. The green light around the
button perimeter turns on and the LED test indicator
blinks green
.
3.
Pull out the rod extender and scan
≤
10 cm (4 in) at
both ends of the fluorescent bulb.
A solid green LED indicates that a good ballast has
been found
.
If a good ballast is not found, the LED continues to
blink and times out (turns off) after 1 minute
.
Note
The Product goes to the default Pin Test mode
after 30 seconds of non-use.
