ErgoDesignThe MultiSync ErgoDesign features enhance human ergonomics (humanand earth conditions). MultiSync monitor’s ErgoDesign will improve theworking environment, protect the health of the user and save money.ErgoDesign parallels the strict European standards of power managementand reduced emissions:– automatic display power-down (also known as NUTEKspecification 803299)– emission characteristics (stricter than those referred to as reducedelectromagnetic fields as recommended by MPR II and also byTCO)– safety (EN 60950)MultiSync monitors comply with these standards by offering IPM Systempower management and Reduced Magnetic Field technology.Power ManagerIPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System is an innovative power-savingutility that complies with both the EPA’s Energy Star requirements andEurope’s TCO NUTEK’s power management requirements. Energy Starproducts use less than 30 watts when in the main power saving mode. TheNUTEK specification 803299 requires automatic power down to less than 30watts in the suspend mode and less than 8 watts in the off mode.When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync E900+ monitorwill consume less than 10% of the total power drawn under normaloperation. This innovation adds up to more than 90% energy savings,longer monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions andreduced air conditioning costs of the work environment. The IPM Systemincreases the monitor’s life and saves energy and costs by powering downwhen not in use.MultiSync monitors follow the Video Electronics Standard Association(VESA) approved DPMS power-down signalling method. VESA’sDisplay Power Management Signalling (DPMS) method, which isendorsed by the EPA, is the power-down process a system should use tocommunicate to the monitor to save power. Power-down functions can beutilised only with an Energy Star system or video card which adheres tothe VESA DPMS standard. By using the monitor’s horizontal and verticalE - 2 Introduction
