Multiplus II GX LCD display backlight is always on

Hi Community,

my Multiplus II GX LCD Display backlight is always on. The manual says:

"When the GX Card is on, pushing the button beside the screen will increase the brightness of the backlight. The backlight will dim itself again after 5 minutes."

My backlight never dims. When I push the button beside the screen it just cycles through the different info parameteres.

Is that "backlight always on" a known bug or can I deactivate it somewhere ?

Thanks and Best regards

Daniel

Hey both, took me a while, but the answer is that is no option to switch it off. Its simply impossible in the current hardware design.

What there is, are two modes: "dimmed" and "on": but yes it should dim; and it does dim on the units I tested.

Hi Matthijs,

thank you for your investigation. Where do I find the "dimmed" an "on" modes ? Do I have to activate them ? I have VenusOS 2.42


Not a big issue anyway, I was just concerned that the lighting may fade over time if switched on for 24/7.


Other than this I am very happy with my Multiplus II GX. Very innovative product for my lead batteries on PV.


Best regards

Daniel

My backlight on 3000 GX does not dim at all.

Any suggestions?
