Lithium Battery installation (optional)

An optional 3.9V lithium battery (P/N 363-2200) can be installed to sustain the controllers clock time and the currently active program information for approximately 90 days with no additional power applied.

WARNING

DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE OF BATTERY. ALWAYS DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

Procedure

1.Turn off power to controller at power supply switch.

2. Remove phillips screws from corners of control panel and carefully lift panel up.

3. Turn control panel over, resting it face down on pedestal. Connector cables can remain attached to PCB for this procedure.

4. Remove five phillips screws from back of control panel PCB and separate PCB from faceplate assembly.

5. Locate battery pin sockets located on front side of PCB as shown at right. Insert battery carefully to avoid bending contact pins. The pins are unevenly spaced allowing the battery to be installed easily in one direction only. Do not force battery pins into sockets. See Warning above.

6.Reassemble control panel assembly and reinstall into pedestal.

7.Restore power to controller at power supply switch.
