7.11 Memory Battery

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a very reliable data storage medium for microprocessor applications. However, RAM requires power at all times. If power is removed, the data stored in the RAM chip is lost. Therefore, RAM chips cannot be powered from the sampler power supply because data and program settings would be lost every time the power cord was unplugged. A separate battery located inside the sampler controller is provided to power the RAM chips and the real-time clock. The memory battery keeps the program entries and logged sample data alive inside the RAM memory when the main power fails or is removed for transport or replacement.

The sampler memory battery consists of two “C” cell alkaline batteries.

Should the memory battery voltage fall too low to properly maintain the program settings, a warning: MEMORY POWER LOW will alert to replace the battery. The sampler utilizes a very small amount of energy from the memory battery during normal operation. The service life of the batteries in this application is typically five years.
