6.2.4 Replacing the EPD Battery
The EPD is fitted with either a security type (tamper-proof) battery cap or a coin-
release battery cap, depending on customer requirements. The security type battery
cap helps to prevent unauthorised removal of the cap and requires a special tool
(see Section 2, Figure 2.2). During fitment of the battery cap the EPD will begin its
initialisation sequence. This is intentional and performs the function of EPD start-up.
The procedure to replace/insert an EPD battery is described in Section 2.1.2. The
initialisation/start-up sequence is described in Section 2.1.3.
