VI. Configuring Special Features
1. Inactivity Shutdown timer
The Inactivity Shutdown Timer will automatically shut the
display device down if it is not used for a configurable length of
time.
Example: The PixiePlus Inactivity Shutdown Timer is set to
three hours. If no button is pressed on the PixiePlus for three
hours, it will begin to beep and flash in warning 120 seconds
before three hours has elapsed. If no button is pressed, at three
hours the PixiePlus will send all codes programmed to the
POWER OFF button.
Use of the Inactivity Shutdown Timer requires the DISCRETE
POWER ON/POWER OFF keypad module.
Configuration of the Inactivity Shutdown Timer requres the
VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keypad module to be
inserted. The volume module can be replaced with a blank after
the feature is configured.
What the Timer does
• The timer begins counting down immediately after the
PixiePlus powers on a display device. Pressing any button
except POWER OFF resets the timer and it begins timing down
again. Pressing POWER OFF stops the timer. There is no
visible behavior when the timer is counting down, until two
minutes before it expires.
• If the timer counts down to 120 seconds, the PixiePlus will
begin beeping and the POWER OFF button flashes to warn
users that it is preparing to shut down.
• If the timer expires, the system shuts itself down exactly as if
the user had pressed the POWER OFF key. Any macro
programmed for POWER OFF is executed. If the Security
Keylock feature is enabled, the PixiePlus will also lock.
Set the Inactivity Shutdown Timer
Press and hold both volume keys while gently inserting a paper
clip in the programming aperture of the PixiePlus.
Be gentle with the paper clip to ensure that you do not
damage the switch mechanism.
The PixiePlus will begin beeping to communicate the current
Timer setting (described in the table on page 16).
