Controls Sounder (So)
Use this option to select the beep sounder to 'Off, Warnings only, Button clicks only, or
Both'. Note that the sounder will still produce a 'ready' beep regardless of this setting if
the 'ready' beep is enabled.
Lamp Saver (LS)
This feature can be used to automatically dim the lamp to a minimum after a period of
inactivity. It reduces the power consumed and any heat build up within the unit, and can
also extend the life of the bulb.
Use the options mode to select 'LS' to set the time value between 0 and 99 minutes. A
setting of 0 switches this feature off so that the lamp will remain on indefinitely.
Flashing the unit or using any control (local or remote), will re-instate the previous Lamp
state and restart the time period. Note that the first press of a button or increment of the
rotary control will not change any of the previous settings.
Battery Saver (bS)
Although this feature can be used when the unit is powered from the mains it is
particularly useful when the unit is being powered from a portable battery inverter pack.
The XMS automatically enters a low power 'sleep' mode after a period of inactivity. If the
modelling lamp is on it will switch off to reduce the drain on the power source, all control
functions and displays will also be disabled.
Use the options mode to select 'bS' to set the time value to between 0 and 15 minutes.
A setting of 0 switches the Battery Saver feature off so that the lamp, and all control
functions and displays will remain on indefinitely.
This feature can also be used in conjunction with the Lamp Saver mode to dim the lamp
to minimum before the monolite enters sleep mode. To do this set the Lamp Saver to
an earlier time than the Battery Saver time e.g. set the Lamp Saver to 5 minutes and the
Battery Saver to 10 minutes. After 5 minutes of inactivity the lamp will dim to minimum,
then after another 5 minutes the unit will go to sleep.
While in Battery Saver mode the Power On indicator will blink with all displays and
buttons temporarily disabled. Use of any control, local or remote, will wake the unit and
restart the time periods. Note that the first press of a button or increment of the turn dial
will not change any of the previous settings.
