Display Blanking Mode

If you have a motion detector installed

If you have a motion detector installed (either a PIR or a microwave detector), the standard
display blanking will be turned off and only the detector will be used for blanking the display,
using the "PIR Timeout" value to determine how long to leave the display on.
If you have a motion detector, you can skip the rest of this section.

Time based display blanking

During display blanking mode the tubes will be off depending on the display blanking settings.
You can choose if you want the blank the LEDs, the tubes, or both the LEDs and the tubes.
You can configure the display to blank at weekends, during week days, always or never (the
default). Also you are able to define hours during which to blank. For example I have a setting
saying that the clock is blanked on weekdays between 7am and 4 pm, while I am out at work.
At weekends, the display runs all the time.

Blanking override

Sometimes you will want to override the blanking, for example normally you have a clock at
home that blanks during the day while you are at work, but on a holiday you are at home. In
this case it is possible to temporarily override the blanking.
Press the button ("short press") while the clock is blanked, and the display will come on again
for a few seconds, and then return to blanking mode.
If you press the button multiple times within 5 seconds, the blanking will stay off for longer
periods:
1 Press: 10 seconds
•
2 Presses: 1 hour
•
3 Presses: 4 hours
•
