Battery
The lithium polymer 6,000mAh battery may be used
to provide a battery back-up service. Using a battery
ensures continuing power to controller and all attached
devices during power outages. Note though that
all system data is retained in non-volatile memory
indefinitely.
The battery operating time is heavily dependent on
loading but will typically be up to 2 hours.
During battery operation, the 12V internal supply is
reduced to 11V and the maximum permissible total
current draw for all external sources is 1.5A.
The time required to charge the battery from depleted
to full capacity is dependent on available power (for
example, it may take longer from POE than from a 5A
supply), external current draw and product temperature.
It may take over 24 hours.
Battery Safety Notice
The 485 Line Header battery electronics contain
multiple safety elements to protect against over-charge/
discharge, short-circuit, over-temperature etc. However,
the following warnings should be observed:
Only fit the original battery module supplied by
Grosvenor Technology and use only in accordance
with this document.
Do not use module if battery appears deformed or
damaged.
Do not disassemble, crush, pierce or rupture the
battery.
Do not short circuit or reverse polarise the module
nor attempt to charge the battery except in the
controller.
Do not store at a temperature below -20°C (-4°F) or
above +60°C (+140°F).
Observe local regulations when disposing of the
Lithium-polymer battery.
Never dispose of the battery using heat or fire.
Battery Service Life
A battery service life of 5 years is possible, although
this can be affected by a number of factors including:
a prolonged period of storage prior to use, the number
of discharge/charge cycles and the battery operating/
charging temperature.
To initialize the 485 Line Header
To reload the application that shipped with the controller
and delete all data.
Press button while powered off and then power on, or
press button before momentarily pressing Reset button.
Hold until LED goes amber and then flashes amber after
about 20 seconds, then release button.
