How do I perform a functional test on my AV-200?

Use these steps to verify the AV-200 LED Enhanced Sign is operating correctly on site.

Test steps

  1. Check battery voltage. Voltage should read 12.0V or above. Below 10V the sign will not flash.
  2. Check solar charging. Batteries under charge should be 13+ V, confirming charging is operational.
  3. Confirm the sign is flashing. With the battery connected the sign should be flashing continuously at 0.25s on / 0.75s off. There is no push button or on/off switch — the AV-200 flashes as soon as the battery is connected.
  4. Check LED output. Visually inspect all LED modules on the sign face. All LEDs should be illuminated uniformly during the on cycle.
  5. Check night dimming. Cover ambient brightness sensor briefly. Flash intensity should reduce. Uncover brightness sensor — intensity should return to full. This confirms automatic night dimming is functioning.

ℹ Solar panel check. Remove any cover from the solar panel and confirm it is unobstructed and facing south. In direct sun, battery voltage should be slowly increasing as the system charges.
