Introduction
Power Manager
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System is an innovative power-saving
utility that complies with both the EPA's Energy Star requirements and
Europe's TCO NUTEK's power management requirements. Energy Star
products use less than 30 watts when in the main power saving mode. The
NUTEK specification 803299 requires automatic power down to less than
30 watts in the suspend mode and less than 8 watts in the off mode.
When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync E
will consume less than 10% of the total power down under normal operation.
This innovation adds up to more than 90% energy savings, longer monitor
life, environmental protection, reduced emissions and reduced air
conditioning costs of the work environment. The IPM System increases the
monitor's life and saves energy and costs by powering down when not in use.
MultiSync monitors follow the Video Electronics Standard Association
(VESA) approved DPMS power-down signalling method. VESA's Display
Power Management Signalling (DPMS) method, which is endorsed by the
EPA, is the power-down process a system should use to communicate to the
monitor to save power. Power-down functions can be utilised only with an
Energy Star system or video card which adheres to the VESA DPMS
standard. By using the monitor's horizontal and vertical SYNC signals, the
monitor can be prompted into the different IPM modes. The following is the
