2.8 Enclosure Reassembly
Once the cabling is complete, position the top plate
over the enclosure and reinstall the four screws.
2.9 CPU Board Removal
If you must remove the Counterpart CPU board, use
the following procedure:
1. Disconnect power to the scale.
2. Disconnect power supply cable from
connector J12 on the Counterpart CPU board.
3. Disconnect the wires at the following
connectors: J1, J2, J3, J4 and J5 and J13 if
equipped.
4. Remove the six screws connecting the CPU
board, then lift the board out of the enclosure.
To repla ce the CPU board, reverse the above
procedure. Be sure to reinstall cable ties to secure all
cables inside the indicator enclosure.
2.10 Battery Replacement
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with
incorrect type. Dispose of batteries per
manufacturer instructions.
The lithium battery on the CPU board maintains the
real-time clock and protects data stored in the system
RAM when the indicator is not connected to AC
power. Data protected by this battery includes time
and date, IDs, and configuration information. If any
data is lost, the indicator configuration can be restored
from the PC. Watch for the low battery warning on the
LCD display and periodically check the battery
voltage on the CPU board. Batteries should be
replaced when the indicator low battery warning
comes on, or when battery voltage falls to 2.2 VDC.
Life expectancy of the battery is 7 years. Use
Revolution to store a copy of the configuration before
attempting to replace the battery.
For best results, replace the battery while in weigh
mode and with AC power applied. Use care not to
bend the battery retaining spring.
