System 2 Installation / Programming Manual
External Back-up Power
If you are using an external 12 volt back-up power supply that has its own back-up battery and charging
circuit, and do not wish to use the supplied 4 amp hr. back-up battery, follow the instructions below. This
modification will disconnect the charging circuit of the System 2.
U Remove power from the System 2
U Cut Diode D7 on the System 2 circuit board
The diode is located approximately 2" above Terminal #4 and just to the left of capacitor C2
U Cut the lead ends off the battery connector
U Connect the ends of the connector to your external power supply
U Apply power to the System 2
Battery Replacement
Modern maintenance-free sealed lead acid rechargeable batteries have an approximate life of three years, or
1000 charge/discharge cycles. When replacement is necessary, the battery must be replaced with a lead acid
type of the same capacity (i.e. = 12 volts, 4 or 6 amp/hrs.). The connecting wires require .187 inch quick
disconnect tabs. The recommended battery measures 3.5 in. x 2.75 in. x 4.0 in. and is manufactured by
YUASA Battery Co., LTD., Part No. NP4-12. Installing a battery with less capacity will degrade the standby
performance times and likewise installing a battery with more capacity will increase standby time.
CAUTION! Do not use dry cell or ni-cad type batteries. They may explode if connected to this System. The
battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in
fire.
Testing The Battery
After the battery has been charged for at least 24 hours, the voltage measured across the battery terminals
with the charging circuit still connected should be 13.5 to 13.8 volts. A digital voltmeter is required for this
measurement.
To test the quality of the battery, disconnect the battery from the System and attach a 33 ohm, 10 watt resistor
to the battery terminals with jumper leads or test clips. Measure the battery voltage with a voltmeter. If after
60 seconds, the voltage falls below 12.0 volts, the battery should be replaced. CAUTION! The 33 ohm
resistor will get hot if the battery has a full charge!
Internal Lithium Battery
A coin shaped battery (BT1) is located in the upper right hand corner of the circuit board. This battery is used
to run the system clock and backup the memory (RAM). As shipped, the battery is connected to the clock but
it is not connected to the memory. To install this jumper, the battery may be placed "in circuit" to provide
memory backup by installing a jumper on pins 1&2 of the three pin header H4 which is located just above the
TP1 and SCKT 6, in the upper right hand corner of the circuit board. This battery will retain memory for
approximately 30 days.
