6.6. Low power consumption mode
It is possible to switch sensor to low power consumption mode, which corresponds to
indicator mode. To switch sensor power consumption mode, resetting its power supply is not
necessary. Use the following commands to control power consumption mode (see Appendix
C.2.6):
<LOWPW1> switches on low power consumption mode.
<LOWPW0> switches off low power consumption mode.
<LOWPW?> returns status of low power consumption mode.
While low power consumption mode is active:
P
ower consumption ≤ 1.8 mW.
Sensor performance decreases by not more than 2 times.
Current pulse repetition period increases to 40
± 20 % ms.
Sensor’s compliance with metrological characteristics stated in Table 3 is not
guaranteed.
