6.1 BATTERY
REPLACEMENT
Option 02 provides the Model 8197 with an internal battery backup power source.
Battery life expectancy is typically four years. The battery is tested daily to verify
it is available for backup operation. If the battery fails the daily test, or if it
remained in continuous charge mode for 2 days, a Replace Battery alarm is
asserted. This condition latches the front panel Replace Battery lamp on and
asserts a Minor Alarm. The unit will remain in alarm condition until the battery
either again passes the daily test or is replaced.
Replacement batteries can be ordered from Spectracom. Specify Part Number
B00004. Batteries can also be obtained locally. Power Sonic part number
PS-1270 and Panasonic LC-R127R2P are acceptable replacement. Batteries
can also be purchased from DigiKey, a large mail order electronics distributor.
Call 1-800 DIGIKEY, specify their part number P078-ND.
