Backup Battery for the Real-Time Clock
The backup battery for the real time clock is a standard feature of the BE1-11m. A battery is used to
maintain clock function during loss of power supply voltage. In mobile substation and line-powered
applications, the voltage that supplies the BE1-11m power supply may be disconnected for extended
periods (weeks, months) between uses. Without battery backup for the real time clock, clock functions will
cease if battery input power is removed.
The backup battery has a life expectancy of greater than five years depending on conditions. After this
time, you should contact Basler Electric to order a new battery, Basler Electric P/N 38526.
Caution
Replacement of the backup battery for the real-time clock should be
performed only by qualified personnel.
Do not short-circuit the battery, reverse battery polarity, or attempt to
recharge the battery. Observe polarity markings on the battery socket
when inserting a new battery. The battery polarity must be correct in
order to provide backup for the real-time clock.
Note
Failure to replace the battery with Basler Electric P/N 38526 may void
the warranty.
