The System Timeouts screen of System

Settings allows the display backlight and

system timeouts to be set for the System

5000

.

GENERAL SETUP

102

Backlight Timeout

Defines when the touchscreen display

will turn off. If None is selected, the

display will always remain on. If the

second option is selected, the display

will turn off after the desired number

of seconds has passed without any

touchscreen activity. This number

may be modified by pressing the Edit

button. Though the display can be set
to never timeout, it is recommended to allow the display to turn off to save on power consumption.

System Timeout

Defines the amount of time before the system will go to sleep after shutting off the touchscreen

display. If None is selected, the system will never go to sleep nor go into a low-power mode. If the

second option is selected, the system will go into a low-power mode after the desired number of

seconds has passed since the display turned off. This number may be modified by pressing the

Edit button. The System Timeout can be useful when set to None if the system is expecting traffic

on the Ethernet port. Listening ports and programs can only be run if the System is not in a low-

power mode (i.e. the Backlight can be off, but the System Timeout

must be set to None).

System Cut-offs

The System Cut-offs screen of System Settings allows the cut-off voltage and temperature levels

(operating ranges) to be set for the System 5000

.

Cut-off Voltage

Allows a minimum and maximum voltage range that must be met to continue normal operation.

Two separate voltage ranges can be specified for System 5000

and GOES Radio operations.

The battery voltage level is retrieved and checked at the beginning of each scan period.
