Battery Backup for Date and Time
SpreadSmart
™ includes a 3 volt battery to store data in RAM when the truck power is off.
Backup batteries are designed to last up to 5 years in normal usage, but may wear out before that
time. Data in RAM storage includes:
a)
Date and Time: this information is critical when recording spreading data;
b)
“Last Used” Settings:
SpreadSmart
stores the last settings in use when the truck is
turned off and restores them using the backup battery when the truck is restarted.
These settings include auger, spinner, pre-wet and anti-ice rates currently in use;
c)
LCD Contrast settings: if the contrast has been changed from the default settings, the
backup battery stores the current setting.
d)
Storm and season totals: spreading data only.
e)
Liquid tank levels: the graphical display only.
Indication that the battery needs to be replaced:
a lowercase “b” will show up on the top left
of the system menu screen when the battery is exhausted. Additionally, items a-e above will
revert to “default values” if the battery needs to be replaced.
Battery Replacement:
the battery is inside the red CPU. Disconnect power; open the case and
battery can be physically removed. This operation should be performed by someone comfortable
with working on electronics, as care should be taken to avoid static discharge. The battery is
most easily removed using a pair of small pliers. The new battery can be slid into the socket
without the use of tools, but confirm that the battery clip holds the new battery tightly.
Part availability
Any battery which cross references to the BR2020 number or the CR2450 number can be used as
a suitable alternative. Please verify the physical dimensions and the 3V rating before inserting
the new battery in the spreader. Batteries can be found at most battery stores, and various
electronic stores (such as Radio Shack).
