How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle
of transmission and reception of
harmless “infrared” signals in order
to detect user-presence.
• When the user is in front of the
monitor, the monitor operates
normally, at the predetermined
settings that the user has set- i.e.
brightness, contrast, color, etc
• Assuming that the monitor was set
to 100% of brightness for example,
when the user leaves his seat and is
no longer in front of the monitor, the
monitor automatically reduces the
power consumption upto 80%.

Setting
Default settings
PowerSensor is designed to detect the
presence of the user located between
30 and 100 cm (12 and 40 inches) from
the display and within five degrees left
or right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside
the perimeters listed above, choose
a higher strength signal for optimal
detection efficiency: The higher the
setting, the stronger the detection signal.
For maximum PowerSensor efficiency
and proper detection, please position
yourself directly in front of your monitor.
• If you choose to position yourself
more than 100 cm or 40 inches
from the monitor use the maximum
detection signal for distances up to
120 cm or 47 inches. (Setting 4)
• Since some dark colored clothing
tends to absorb infrared signals
even when the user is within 100 cm
or 40 inches of the display, step up
signal strength when wearing black
or other dark clothes.
