Power Save Mode - Extron electronics MLS 608 D Series User Manual

Power Save Mode

Power Save mode is a feature on the MLS 608 D that will help conserve energy and reduce
costs by placing the unit into a standby state. The switcher does not have an auto-power
down feature (like the one used on the XPA 1002, for example), and can only be placed
into the standby state via an SIS command. Sending the SIS command E 1PSAV] turns
on the power save mode.
When Power Save mode is enabled the switcher draws less than 4 watts, the front panel
buttons and volume indicators are off, and the front panel power LED is amber, indicating
that the switcher is in the standby state.
The switcher can be "woken" up with an SIS command ( E 0PSAV]), or by pressing any
front panel button or turning any encoder/knob. This reverts the switcher to the normal
mode (power save off).
When in its normal state, the front panel buttons and volume indicators are lit and the
power LED indicator is green.
NOTES: • If the switcher is in the standby state, and power is re-cycled on the unit,
it powers back up into the normal state, and not into the standby state.
• The switcher is not ENERGY STAR
