Power Saving
The proxSafe system contains an accumulator which automatically provides an emergency
current supply in case of power failure for the period of outage in order to ensure the
operation of the system.
Different adjustments can help to minimize the load of the accumulator and thus to
achieve a longer period of time for power supply by the accumulator in case of a power
failure.
Three different adjustments are possible within the power saving mode:
<PwrDn> means that the Terminal is in a low-power resting state while no entries are
made. The LED display and any kind of lighting is completely turned off, the reader is
turned off and all connected devices (e.g. proxSafe maxx Cabinets, proxSafe flexx housings
etc.) are turned off as well. The Terminal will only be reactivated after pressing a key on
the keypad. This adjustment provides maximum power saving.
<Idle> means that the Terminal is in a standby mode and that the illumination of the
Terminal is temporarily turned off. The reader is still active and the Terminal will
immediately be reactivated by presenting a card or a keyTag in front of the reader or by
pressing any key on the keypad. This way the current consumption is reduced but not as
far as in “PwrDn”.
<Off> means, the power saving mode is completely deactivated. In case of a power failure the
whole system will still run as usual but only as long as the power from the back-up battery will last.
