Setting the End-of-Line Switch
Network devices at either end of the RS485 network must be set as network terminated devices.
This is done with the use of the End-of-Line (EOL) switch. The CK721-A module has two EOL
switches, one for each RS485 connector. The CK721-A is shipped with the EOL switches in the
factory default position, which is on (up).

OTE
:
Before changing the EOL position, remove the 24VDC supply power to the CK721-A and wait
for the RUN LED to go off.
Replacing the Lithium Battery
The lithium battery is shipped from the factory charged and operational.
If there are no power outages, change the battery every five years. If a power outage occurs, the
battery life is approximately 30 days. Replace with Panasonic® part number CR2025 or
equivalent.

MPORTANT
:
Before you replace the lithium battery (recommended every five years or after extended
use), ensure AC power or backup battery power is supplied to the CK721-A. If AC power or backup
battery power is not supplied before you remove the lithium battery, the realtime clock will be incorrect.

CAUTION: Risk of Explosion.
Replace the battery with a lithium battery of the same type and voltage rating. Dispose of
the used battery in accordance with local, national, and regional regulations. Failure to
replace the battery with one of the same type and voltage rating may result in an explosion
causing personal injury and property damage.
