4.5.2 Inserting or Replacing SD Cards
SD Cards must be unlocked to allow read/write. They must be formatted by TPPL only, and they should be used for TPPL data
only. Stored data can be transferred or copied to a PC via a Card Reader and the card reused, but care must be taken not to
overwrite previously transferred data files held on the PC. A reliable backup system should be used if data retention is important.
Transferred data may be imported into spreadsheets or DBs for ease of handling / printing, but you should check the
number of spreadsheet lines available as some software may be limited to 65000 entries per sheet.
Note: Incorrectly removing or replacing an SD card may result in data loss or corruption.
To Insert or Replace an SD Card:
1) Log in as Admin or Service.
2) Touch Menu>Maintenance>SD Card>Eject>
3) Touch Close>Menu>Maintenance>Power-off>Yes
4) Switch off and Isolate Power.
5) Open the access door and locate the SD card slot (see Fig. 9).
6) Insert or replace the card in the SD card slot.
7) Close the access door, restart the system and wait for it to stabilise.
8) Check the SD Card status by touching on either the SD Card or Power Icons:
9) If the SD Card is new, full or has a fault, log in as Admin or Service.
10) Touch Menu>Maintenance>SD Card>Format>Yes
11) Close the window and log out when finished.
12) Re-check the SD Card status by touching on either the SD Card or Power Icons again.
Note: The SD Card must remain inserted during normal system
operation as the on-board flash memory is limited
to a few minutes of events.
When the card is full
it
should either be replaced or space freed up
to avoid data loss.
CAUTION
Formatting the SD card will erase all existing data, and TPPL has no selective delete or file recovery function.
WARNING
Opening the enclosure may expose live electrical circuits. Touching exposed terminals or wires may cause death
or serious injury. Always turn off and isolate the system before opening the door. Do not switch back on until the
door is reclosed and secured. Do not operate TPPL with the door insecure.
