Onboard Batter Backup
Lithium Ion Battery Backup
Each Taralist controller has a battery installed on it. This battery’s main purpose
is to keep the Taralist clock running if power is disconnected; otherwise, every
time you unplug and move the controller you would have to reset the time in it.
This battery will keep the Taralist clock running for up to two months, cut there
are some things you need to know.
The Taralist onboard battery backup is used to run the Taralist clock only, it will
not allow the controller to function and process events. You will not be able to
run the controller on this battery alone, an external power source is required for
processing events and controlling relays.
Charging the Onboard Battery
The onboard battery is charged when the device is attached to a power source.
You can control how fast the battery is charged by Editing Protected Data (page
14). This is very useful as you can charge the battery very quickly or very slowly.
Charging the battery slowly will increase the battery’s life, so whenever possible we
recommend leaving the Charge level to 1.
Getting the Best Life out of the Battery
It is recommended to charge the battery slowly. Also make sure you have a power
source plugged into the controller when a USB cable is connected to the device.
If a USB cable is attached to the device but no power supply is connected, this will
drain the battery very quickly as the controller will not be able to properly enter
sleep mode.
