Advanced display functionality

This unit contains the ability to sense the ambient light level in the room and adjust the

display and LEDs accordingly. While the factory settings will work for most situations,

there may be times when adjustment to the settings is useful. There are three main

sections to the advanced display functionality:

Adjustment of display brightness

Adjustment of LED brightness

Restoration of the factory default settings

Adjustment of display brightness:

To access this section, first press and hold the “display” button, then concurrently press

“1” button. This can only be done from the front panel. It is recommended that once this

section is entered, that all adjustments be made with the remote at some distance from the

unit, so as not to obstruct light from reaching the sensor. LED #2 will light, and the

display will show two numbers in the range 00-15, one on the left display and one on the

right display. The left number indicates the light level that the sensor is reporting, 0 is

darkest and 15 is brightest. The rightmost number indicates the display brightness setting

for that light level, 0 is darkest and 15 is brightest. LED#2 will be lit, which indicates

that pressing the “up” or “down” buttons will adjust the display brightness for the current

light level. Pressing button #1 will turn on LED#1, which indicates that pressing the

“up” or “down” buttons will change to a different light level setting, for which the

display brightness could then be changed by pressing button #2. Changes to the display

brightness will only be visible for the current light level.

To exit this section, press the “display” button.

Adjustment of LED brightness:

This section works identically to the above “Adjustment of display brightness” except

that adjustment is made to the LED brightness instead of the display.

To access this section, first press and hold the “display” button, then concurrently press

“2” button. This can only be done from the front panel. It is recommended that once this

section is entered, that all adjustments be made with the remote at some distance from the

unit, so as not to obstruct light from reaching the sensor. LED #2 will light, and the

display will show two numbers in the range 00-15, one on the left display and one on the

right display. The left number indicates the light level that the sensor is reporting, 0 is

darkest and 15 is brightest. The rightmost number indicates the LED brightness setting

for that light level, 0 is darkest and 15 is brightest. LED#2 will be lit, which indicates

that pressing the “up” or “down” buttons will adjust the LED brightness for the current

light level.
