I finally completed installation of my new CNv XC vario and am
having problems with the gear/spoiler warning logic.



In my installation, while sitting on the trailer, opening the
spoiler causes the Spoiler warning to flash and sound off.* This
happens without respect to the gear position or switch reading.*
Reading the switches in the Info section of the CNv, I see that both
switches are correctly wired and functioning (both show 0 and 1
status as appropriate).



Is it possible that this is a ground test function and I won't know
if everything works as intended until my first takeoff?

Is what you are seeing a "spoilers open" warning (during takeoff roll) vs.. a "gear up" warning?


Yes, exactly.
