2.10.3 Notes on Battery Life
Battery life varies based on numerous factors including temperature, communication usage, and
various load options. To achieve the maximum battery life noted in the product data sheet requires
that you:
▪
Limit use of the display, backlight, and FBxWifi options.
▪
Limit communication activity.
▪
Disable power to all I/O (except for the MV or static pressure sensor, or RTD). To do this, click
Configure > I/O Setup > I/O Configuration > Properties and select Disable for each I/O
module.
See the product data sheet FB1200 Flow Computer (D301790X012) for information on the
