A backward clock change uses two records to maintain data integrity to 
ensure that it does not overwrite previously 
recorded data. If it is necessary to make small 
backward time changes of less than one hour, wait until the current hour has progressed far 
enough to make a change that does not cross an hour boundary
. 
8.7  Remove and restore power 
Remove and restore power in the order that applies to the power mode. 
 
– Equipment damage. Remove the external power/charger and battery 
connections before removing all other cables, boards, and field connections. Connection or 
disconnection of cables and wires on the electro
nic board while power is connected can 
damage the electronic components.
 
8.7.1  Remove power from the controller 
It might be necessary to remove power from a controller for maintenance. This procedure describes 
the removal of the power port terminal connectors from the RMC. You do not need to remove 
individual wires. 
 
Do not remove power if the controller does not have the lithium battery 
enabled or in place. If the lithium battery is not enabled, has failed, or was removed, the clock
 
resets to factory defaults. This requires a change according to section 
8.6, Change the clock. See 
8.8.5, Replace the lithium battery. 
Follow the steps based on the type of power mode: 
 
Pry terminal connectors off the electronic board with a slotted screwdriver. 
1.  For battery mode: 
a.  Remove the CHARGER/EXT PWR terminal connector. 
b.  Remove the BAT port terminal connector (green connector). 
2.  For external power mode, remove the CHARGER/EXT PWR terminal connector  
8.7.2  Reconnect power to the controller 
Follow this procedure to reconnect the power port terminal connectors or the power cables back into 
the RMC. You do not need to rewire if the connectors are not removed from the cables. This procedure 
assumes wiring was left intact before terminal connector removal. 
 
– Equipment damage. Do not reconnect the external power/charger and battery 
until all service procedures are complete. This includes reconnecting all wires, plugs, 
terminations, and peripheral equipment. Otherwise, 
property damage can result. Do not 
perform this procedure until instruct
ed to do so. 
Follow the instructions based on the type of power mode. 
– Bodily injury. Always connect the battery before connecting the charger. 
1.  For battery mode: 
a.  Reconnect the BAT terminal connector (green connector) on the battery cable into the 
board.  
b.  Reconnect the CHARGER/ EXT PWR terminal connector on the charger cable into the board. 
2.  For external power mode, reconnect the CHARGER/ EXT PWR terminal connector on the 
external power source cable into the board. 
3.  Observe the power-on sequence information on the LCD to confirm that the controller is 
receiving power (see details in section 3.7.1
 Power-on sequence). When DATE/TIME displays, 
the sequence is complete.
