Isolation Unit
RS-485 isolation unit for GP3000 Series (CA3-ISO485-01) cannot be used for
SP-5B10 (Power box)/ SP-5B00 (Standard box). You can use the RS-232C
isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) for SP-5B10 (Power box)/ SP-5B00 (Standard
box)
instead. (The communication method is switched with this unit’s DIP switch.)
Note for using RS-232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01)
・
Connect it to SP5000 series via COM1 (232C).
・
In the case of RS-
232C, it’s necessary to set the 9
th
pin of the COM port to
VCC.
[Settings on GP-ProEX]

Backup Battery
SP-5B10/ SP-5B00 (Standard box) is not needed a backup battery for Clock.
Supercapacitor (electric double-layer capacitor) can be back up clock data.
Please note the following points,
•
When the voltage from the Supercapacitor is low, clock data is lost when this
product is turned OFF. In order to charge up the super capacitor, power
needs to be supplied to the main unit for 5 minutes or longer.
•
The average period for backup is as follows:
Initial: Approximately 100 days
After 5 years: Approximately 30 days
(used at ambient temperature of 25 °C [77 °F])
By connecting the Battery for Memory Backup (Model Number PFXZCBBT1)
accessory, you can set up a backup period of up to 10 years or more.
