Display Timeout
This is a feature that allows the end user to adjust how quickly the screen menu timeout (revert to main
menu), factory setting is 8 seconds.
NOTE
: A long press (> 1 second) will also back up one menu level.
This allows adjustment of the timeout screen and can be configured from 1 second to 30 seconds when turning
the inner knob.
For a user that is unfamiliar with the product, this will give them enough time to learn the system. After being
familiar then the user can speed up the timeout screen as needed.
It will stay in this screen until the menu times out and returns to the adjustment home screen.
To exit the home screen and return to normal operation, turn the PMA450B off, and back on again.
