10.7 DIM
The
DFX-7
has a built-in
DIM
feature to manage power more effectively. This feature
has adjustable time durations, until the power of the display is dimmed and current
draw reduced. The timer is constantly reset while the user is making measurements,
and is only activated when the gauge is idle for the duration of time the
DIM
value is
set for. This feature does not override the preset 5 min idle power off feature in any
way. However, if the gauge is turned on, set for a DIM of 120sec, and then left idle
for 5 minutes, the
DFX-7
will dim in 2 minutes, then power off in 5 minutes. The
procedures for adjusting the
DIM
time are outlined below:
Setting a DIM time

MENU

arrow keys to scroll through the sub menu items
until
