Defined mode with life cycle of the supply battery of more than 5 years:
•
Archiving period of the data archive 1 hr
•
Communication with device 2 min/day
•
Showing on the display 2 min/day
•
Period of input impulses ≤ 10 Hz
•
Measuring period 15 s
•
Surrounding temperature 25 °C
•
expansion board KP 065 09 ( SCR encoder ) is not used
If the device is operated with higher consumption than in the defined mode, it
is necessary to count on a more frequent replacement of the battery or use a network
power source.
2.2.2 Replacement of supply battery
. It is suitable to disconnect the discharged battery as soon as possible. While
the battery is being replaced, the device does not measure pressure or temperature,
but counts the incoming lf impulses (but does not convert the number of pulses, this
will be performed only when the supply battery is connected again) and insures that
the real time clock is running. The data stored in the device archives and parameter
settings will remain preserved.
Discharged batteries belongs at hazardous waste category. According to
OEEZ (2002/96/ES) directives and and other internal directives battery must not be
disposed together with household waste. Withdrawing duty is applied over
discharged battery.
2.2.3 Back-up battery
The battery ensures the back-up of important functions in case of discharge or
replacement of the supply battery. The back-up battery can be replaced in an
accredited service center after the official and security mark is broken (replacement
can not be performed in a potentially explosive atmosphere). It is necessary to use
the same type of battery. Only recommended type of battery may be used.
Due to correct calculation of remaining battery capacity after replacement it is
mandatory to reset this information with service SW tool [22].
Replacement of battery is allowed also at hazardous zone but only with
recommended type of battery.
