7.7.2 PSAVE
Power saving mode, when the radio module should be powered down to save power. In
power saving mode the inputs will continue to be monitored and should a notification need to

powered to check for incoming messages. Power saving mode will only be (re)entered after
all messages have been processed. When the radio module is powered down, messages
can’t be receive so commands and output controls will not be performed promptly.
