MVP-5200i Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom - Instruction Manual
Power Management
Since the MVP-5200i is a battery-powered handheld device, power management is a necessary concern. Under active use, the
charge on the integral Lithium-Polymer battery can last for as long as five days. However, to maximize usability and minimize the
chances of the device becoming completely discharged at a critical moment, the MVP-5200i should be kept in its charging cradle or
wall station when not in use.
The MVP-5200i operates on four distinct power modes:
Awake - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary modules are powered up
and their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device remains online with the NetLinx Master and continues
to appear in the online tree of NetLinx Studio.
Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the backlight. In this case, the
unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off after the user-selectable time of inactivity has elapsed.
The device remains online with the Netlinx Master and continues to be shown in the online tree of Netlinx Studio. The unit
shall transfer to the Awake mode after it detects a touch on the touchscreen or navigation wheel. This mode uses 80
percent of the power required for the Awake mode.
Stand By - In this mode, the device is completely shut down, with only wakeup systems powered to detect incoming
commands or touch panel contact.
Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has elapsed or if the battery level
falls below 10 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest mode of operation, during which power to all
peripherals and components is turned off. It is not online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio. The
system remains in this mode until it is rebooted. In the latter case, the panel has to be placed in a Table Charging Station in
order for it to be operational.
Proper Battery Maintenance
To insure maximum performance and reliability of your AMX Wireless Touch Panel, please insure that a full charge is performed
every 3 months if not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this time frame, it may result in premature battery
lifespan degradation and will require replacement.
