Verifying Battery Backup Connection
The EliteIQ has a 12 V sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery with either 7 AH or 5.5 AH. This provides
approximately 24 hours of backup time with the unit fully configured. Actual backup time depends upon the
number of input/output cards installed in the unit, the number of sensors being powered from the unit,
temperature, battery age and dialing activity. The battery comes prewired with the red wire attached to the +VBAT
terminal and the black wire attached to the –VBAT terminal. The replacement Part Number is EBAT002 for the
5.5 AH battery.
The EliteIQ automatically charges the battery whenever the power switch is turned on. The unit also includes
special circuitry to prevent the battery from being damaged in the event of an extended power outage. When the
battery runs down to 9 V, the unit automatically disconnects it, preventing deep-discharge damage. The battery
remains disconnected until it charges back up to 12.3 V.
The battery provides at least two years of service before needing replacement.
When the EliteIQ is powered by the backup battery, the LEDs and display are put into a ‘dimmed’ mode to
conserve power.
The main motherboard also includes a 3 V lithium battery to maintain the real-time clock and portions of the
SRAM memory. Each battery provides 10 years of use. If the date and time in the EliteIQ are not retained when
power is turned off then on, this battery needs replacing. The replacement battery Part Number is EBAT010.
