'£15 HeJmetLightTest
Once the test name is shown under the test menu, press the enter button. This test will allow you to
test the 16 lights on top of the helmet. Upon entering this test all lamps on the helmet should start
blinking on and off. If they all are not, check for a burnt out bulb or socket contact not making a
good connection or the power to the lights is lost (power is obtained through GI string #2). If this all
checks out it may be the circuit that controls the lights. The Helmet Light Test has three modes: all
lamps, single lamp, and cycle lamps.
Enter Button - Selects between the three modes: all lamps, single lamp, and cycle lamps.
ALL LAMPS - This will blink all the lamps on the helmet together at the same time on and
off. This on/off cycle will continue until the mode is changed (pressing
Enter).
SINGLE LAMP - This will allow you to turn on each light on the helmet individually. The
first light on will be in the lower left comer of the helmet. Youmay then
use the the up button to move clockwise to the next light or the down button
to move counter clockwise to the previous light.
CYCLE LAMPS - This combines the above two tests into one self running test. Upon
changing to this mode the helmet lights will all blink on and off a few
times and a single light (starting in the lower left corner of the helmet)
will turn each light on and off clockwise and then do the same counter
clockwise. This process will be repeated until the mode is changed
(pressing Enter button).
