Battery Conditioning
From the Power Management page, you can control conditioning of the battery to maximize run time between chargings
or maximize the battery's total lifespan before replacement is necessary. To test the battery in preparation for
conditioning, press the Test button on the Power Management page.If any fault exists in the battery, a confirmation
dialog box appears (FIG. 54) that warns of the fault. For more information on the fault, please contact AMX Customer
Support, and give the fault code from the confirmation dialog.
The Battery Life button (FIG. 53) has three settings that determine the battery's conditioning for maximum performance
over the battery's operational lifetime. The three settings include:


48
This value determines the number of seconds or minutes that need to pass
before the panel automatically shuts down. Once shut down, the device will
have to be restarted. The Up/Down buttons alter the timeout value (in minutes).
Use the Up/Down arrows to change the settings; the setting bar will change
from blue to orange to display the percentage of minimum versus maximum. A
value of Off disables this feature.
Note: Shutdown mode turns the unit completely off, including communication
circuits, and preserves battery life, unlike Sleep or Standby mode, which only
turn off the display. From Shutdown mode, a unit may be turned on by touching
the screen or applying power.
Range = 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes; 1, 2, 3, 4 hours Default = Off.
The Charge Status field indicates the power charge currently available on the
battery. When fully charged, the field is green and reads "Charged".
The Battery Type field indicates the type of battery currently installed in the
MVP-9000i. The value listed is 1.
The Docking Station Version field indicates the version of firmware used for
the currently used Table or Wall Docking Station. This field is blank if the panel
is not docked in a Docking Station.
The Dock Status icon turns green when connected to an active Table or Wall
Docking Station, and turns red when disconnected.
NOTE: when using the panel's included power source, this icon will still appear
red, even if the panel is drawing power from the power source.
• Press the Test button to verify that the battery has no faults.
• Press the Auto button to open the Battery Auto Conditioning popup window
(FIG. 55).
The Battery Life button has three settings, which control how the battery will be
conditioned to maximize functionality:
• Auto: The conditioning will give a balance of a maximum battery run time and
a maximum battery life time.
• Max Runtime: The conditioning will favor the maximum possible run time
between chargings.
• Max Lifetime: The conditioning will favor the maximum possible battery
lifetime.
The DISABLE/DISABLED button acts as a power save feature with two options:
• On - Clicking on this button activates the brightness limit set on the panel,
conserving battery power. Activating this feature causes the panel to function
at 10% of full brightness and overrides the Panel Brightness value set on the
Setup page.
• Off - Clicking on this button deactivates this power save feature. The panel
will use the Panel Brightness level.
When enabled, Auto Dim will engage at half the time set under the Sleep
setting or after five minutes, whichever is sooner.
Auto: The battery conditioning cycle gives a balance between maximizing the battery's maximum runtime
between chargings and its maximum possible operational life based on usage.
Max Runtime: The battery conditioning cycle favors the maximum run time available on the battery between
chargings. Favoring the maximum battery run time may affect the battery's total operational lifetime before it
needs to be replaced.
