b. LBI Dark Mode – if controller LBI Dark Mode is activated then the Status LED and LCD backlight is
completely diabled. Be aware that the application and controller is still running. Keyboard is still in
functional state. The Backlight Timeout is still respected in this option.
2. Backlight Timeout – if the cell area is pressed the dialog for time settings is displayed. The user is able to
set the period from 1 up to 241 minutes. There is also the option to set NO Timeout which means the
display unit is backlighted forever. Note that in remote displays like IntelIVision 5.2 the Backlight Timeout
option is not mirrored with controller setpoint Backlight Timeout (it is mirrored in Integrated Color Display).
3. Brightness Control:
a. Manual (by default) – the value of the backlight is set manually using the value dialog (point 3)
b. External– - the value of the backlight is given by the Analog Input settings in InteliConfig and
connected value of resistor, voltage or current (based on the type of the selected sensor).
4. Brightness intensity – the value is selected using the value dialog. Note the value is applied immediately
during the change of the value.
5. Internal Temperature information – gives the actual inside temperature of the unit. There is
implemented automatic mechanism for lowering the backlight intensity based the internal derating
backlight curve. If the inside temperature exceeds 35 °C the area behind the temperature lights yellow.
The yellow color indicates that the display backlight curve is applied and automatically starts derate the
backlight intensity. The backlight intensity returns to normal when the temperature is decreased bellow
35 °C. This feature saves the lifetime of the internal components.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use backlight on the standard level max. 60%.
Maximal backlight intensity level of 100% is suitable only for application with higher amount of
the ambient light. Be aware that higher intensity level means higher surface front glass
temperature and lower lifetime.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use Backlight Time (timer) set on the reasonable
amount of time (approximately 30 minutes) during the normal running genset or engine phase. It
is because of saving lifetime of the display unit. The display unit is still running if the backlight is
off. For switching on the LCD backlight the simple pressing any button is necessary.

9.4 Display brightness settings

The display brightness setting is adjustable using the Administration Menu - InteliVision Settings.

Image 9.6 : Display brightness settings

Backlight Timeout – can be set at a range of 1 to 254 minutes or Disabled. Disabled means the backlight
never shuts down.
Brightness control
1. If the manual mode is chosen the user is responsible for his own backlight intensity.
2. If the External mode is chosen the display unit expects the external resistor (potentiometer) on its Analog
input. The type of sensor can be set in InteliConfig.
Brightness intensity – The backlight intensity can be adjusted using the value dialog from 1 up to 100%. It is
not possible to set 0 to avoid total shutdown of backlight intensity.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use maximum backlight if it is really needed. The
temperature of the LCD grows linearly with the set of LCD backlight intensity. The product
lifetime is temperature dependent. In general it means higher temperature lower lifetime.

IG500 G2 Operator Guide 31

 IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to set the Backlight Timeout to reasonable time (e.g 5
minutes). If the backlight is off then any button press switch on the backlight again.

 UI Position Issue Hint / Description
The number of records is different for each controller. E.g.
InteliGen 500 supports 500 history records. Default
Number of Records in
History configuration consists of 33 columns. Maximal column amount
InteliGen 500
is approximately 100 columns based on the type of the
observed value.
To get the best view of the displayed trends it is recommended
to manually set the typical value range for each channel. If the
