The self test jig is an aid for both Dealers and installers. It is an automated test routine identical to the one we use before we ship the units. The test jig will allow users to confirm that the unit survived the trip and gives you peace of mind should you have any doubts whether the unit works or not, during an installation.

Running the test jig is quite simple and can be done in two easy steps.

Firstly

• Connect the red and black wires on the jig to a 12V power supply, red goes to the positive terminal while black to the negative.
• Plug the Communication cable into the "Com1" port at the back of your computer CPU, and the other side into the corresponding connector on the test jig.
• Plug the unit under test into the test jigs wiring harness.

Secondly

• You need to load the software. This can be done either using DOS or Windows.

• The CD is supplied with the SMT Developers Kit, and contains all the software that is needed.

• Once you have loaded the CD, a menu pops up.

• Select DOS SOFTWARE, the files will open in "Winzip", unzip all the files.

• When it asks where to save, type in “c:\tune”.

This is now where I needed to pay close attention as I am not a DOS friendly person! Click your start button, select programs, then select "Command Prompt" (in Windows 2000, this is under Accessories). Make sure that you are running the “C” drive, if not, type “c:” and enter. Type in “cd\tune” and enter, then “tsmt6”. This will then open the test software. You can run the software by clicking your Start button, then selecting Run, type in “c:\tune\tsmt6”, and the program will open.

You will be asked to type in your initials, then type in “g”. If the test fails on the first line, then your battery power is too low or your power source has a problem. You should notice two sets of initials and serial number on the bottom left hand side of the screen, the first serial number is from when the factory tests the units, the second set are when we test the units on receipt from the factory. Once your test in complete, a third set of initials will be added.

That is all there is to it, quick and easy.

An example of a bad test is as follows:
The test routine stops at the failed test and will not continue. A serial number will not be written into the unit.



The unit above was damaged in the field, as you can see it has two serial numbers in the bottom field, but will not get a third since it has failed the test.

Running the test routine is a quick, simple and effective way of ensuring that the unit is not faulty - a real time saver!
