NCR 7870 manual Active Time Minutes

Chapter 7: Programming 7-21

Active Time (Minutes)

You can program specific lengths of time that your NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale stays on after the last good read. There are four options in the Active Time parameter: no shut down, shut down after 15 minutes, shut down after 30 minutes, and shut down after 60 minutes. Select these times using the Hex 0 through Hex 3 tags, respectively. The default time is 15 minutes. Selecting no shut down results in the scanner/scale being active all the time.

Note: NCR suggests that you do not set the Active Time parameter to “no shut down.” Leaving the laser light on all the time reduces its life expectancy.
