Coin Cell Battery
The coin cell battery is present on all PXC-36 Compact Series and on Version 2 or
later of PXC-16 and PXC-24. The hardware version is indicated in the Product Number
as follows:
● The number after
PXC16
or
PXC-24
indicates the hardware version. For example,
PXC24
.2-PE.A is Version 2.
● No number after
PXC16
or
PXC-24
is Version 1 hardware. For example, PXC24-
PE.A is Version 1.
Failure to change a DEAD lithium coin cell battery will result in loss of current time-
date, which may cause loss of data or building control.
Establish a preventative maintenance schedule based on expected battery usage and
life cycle.
● The coin cell battery maintains the current time-date in the Real Time Clock (RTC)
when power to the field panel is off.
● There is no physical status on the field panel for a dead coin cell battery.
● If the coin cell battery is dead or missing when power is off, then RTC time-date is
reset as follows:
– If the field panel resides on an ALN with an Insight workstation, the Insight
workstation sets the time-date when the field panel returns to the network.
– If the field panel resides on an ALN without an Insight workstation, the time-
date is synchronized with the network time during the next automatic daily time
update.
● When the PXC Compact is operating in P1 mode, if the coin cell battery is dead or
missing when power is off, RTC time-date is reset to the factory default. RTC time-
date and must be set manually or by PPCL to ensure time-date based applications
operate as expected.
For more information on time synchronization, see the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel
User's Manual (125-3019) or the APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual
(125-3020) (125-3019 or 125-3020).
