Battery Backup
As standard the GT8 is fitted with a backup battery
(EM-BB-2HR-A) to run the Terminal should the normal
power supply fail, providing up to 2-hours runtime.
When the battery pack is installed the terminal will
continue to run when power is removed until the
battery charge level reaches its lower threshold. The
terminal may be shut down prior to battery exhaustion
by using the ‘Shut Down’ option accessible through
the launcher menu. Once shut down the terminal will
remain off until power is restored. When in the shut
down state there is very little draw on the battery and
it can remain in this state for extended periods. For
optimum battery life it is recommended that the battery
is charged a minimum of every six months if the unit is
in shut down for prolonged periods by applying power
to the Terminal.
Charging of the EM-BB-2HR-A battery pack is
managed by the GT8 terminal and depending on
power source typical recharge time from 0% to 100%
will range from 3 hours to 12 hours. Charging times
will be extended in elevated ambient temperatures to
protect the battery.
When the GT8 is running from battery the power
indicator on the front of the Terminal will show red.
The EM-BB-2HR-A battery pack comprises a
rechargeable li-Ion battery along with protection
circuitry to prevent safety hazards caused by
overload, over-charging or over-discharge.
WARNING:
ONLY FIT BATTERY PACK
SPECIFIED, FAILURE TO OBSERVE MAY
RESULT IN FIRE HAZARD
Service life of the EM-BB-2HR-A battery pack is
typically 3 to 5 years depending on conditions
and regular replacement is recommended. The
battery may become swollen towards the end of
its service life, if swelling is observed the battery
should be replaced.
