You have created the model in inch unit that means you have set the Base Unit as "English". Now, when you are adding node coordinate value as 5000, program consider it as 5000 inch. 
 Now you are using SetInputUnits function. This function sets the input unit of length and force of the currently open .STD file. You have assigned length unit as 4 that means you have assigned length unit as 'meter'. So program converts 5000 inch value to meter unit which is equal to 127 m and display the value.
