24 Operation
4.1 Backlighting
Therstpushofanyofthefourmeterpush-buttonswillturn
on the backlight. The backlight will remain on for 5 minutes
from the last button press.
NOTE:
When turning on the backlight, there is no change
in the display. The second press of any push-button
will then change the display screen. This applies to
TS-M-2, TS-RM-2 and TS-M-2-600V meter versions.
NOTE:
Only one meter will be backlit at a time. Pushing a
button on a second meter on the network will auto-
matically turn off the backlight on the rst meter.
If the meter is connected to a TriStar PWM controller, the
backlighting will begin to dim when battery voltage falls below
12.7 Volts. Backlighting will continue to dim proportionally to
the battery voltage down to 10.0 Volts.
The backlight draws very low power and would consume less
than 1 amp-hour of charge if it were turned on for a full 24
hour period.
