Disconnect the lead button connectors from the battery's 
positive and negative terminals. Carefully pull the battery 
from it retaining clip and remove the battery from the module. 
Attach the battery lead button connector to the battery's 
positive and negative terminals. Do not use metal tools to 
install the battery lead button connector as they may short-
circuit the battery. You should be able to install the connector 
without tools. 
Carefully press the battery into the module’s battery 
retaining clip. 
Reinstall the real-time clock communications module in the 
controller chassis and perform a voted reset to clear the fault 
indications. 
Safety Considerations
Real-time clock communications modules are TÜV certified 
for Risk Class 5 safety applications as non-interfering and can 
be used in a safety system for normal data acquisition 
functions. 
Real-time clock communications modules are approved for 
peer-to-peer communications of safety critical data between 
two or more Regent systems in Risk Class 5 safety 
applications. This requires the use of redundant Guarded 
Peer-Link communications networks where the network 
connections are made on redundant communications modules 
at each Regent. 
For additional safety considerations involving 
communications with the Regent, refer to the Safety 
Considerations Section of the Regent User’s Manual.
