62 ESP-LX+ & LXi+ Installation, Programming, & Operation Guide
Install Battery
The 9-Volt rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery
supplied with the controller provides power to maintain the
current time and date during a power outage. All program
information you have entered is maintained independently of
battery power. So if a prolonged power outage outlasts the life
of the battery, you will only have to update the time and date
after power is restored (your program is the default).
NOTE: Memory of the time and date is retained by a
battery which is to be disposed of in accordance
with local regulations.
The battery also lets you program the controller with the face
panel detached from the cabinet power supply.
If you have removed the face panel and cabinet door for a
new installation, reinstall them now. Be sure to connect the
ribbon cable and two-wire harness from the face panel to
the controllers circuit board, as described on page 48.
Loosen the screw on the battery cover, and slide the
battery out of its compartment. If you are replacing a used
battery, discard the old battery properly. The replacement
battery must be a 9-Volt rechargeable NiMH battery.
If the battery has a protective cover installed over its
terminals, remove the cover. Then connect the two-wire
battery clip to the terminals.
