3.7 PowerSensor

PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly technology from Philips which enables user to save up to 80% of power consumption. In line with Philip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly technology works for you right out of the box without any hardware or software installation, and without any user intervention in the default mode.

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 up to 80%.

User present in front	User not present
42 Watt	8.5 Watt
	45W

Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only

Settings

Default settings

At its default setting, (Setting 3), 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 120cm 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 garb.

•You can return to the default mode at any time (setting 3)

How to adjust settings

If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to fine-tune detection:

•Press the PowerSensor hot key

•You will find the default position ‘3’ on the adjustment bar.

•Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment to Setting 4 and press OK.

•Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor properly detects you in your current position.

Hot key	Sensor distance
	4	3	2	1	0
				1	0
			2	1
		3	2
	4	3
	4

Note

A manually selected PowerSensor mode will remain operational unless and until it is readjusted or the default mode is recalled. If you find that the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby motion for some reason, please adjust to a lower signal strength.
