3.10 Data retention in the event of power failure
Theresources(registers,ags,timers,counters,etc.)andpartly,alsotheuser
program and texts/DBs, are stored in the RAM. To ensure that they do not get lost
during a power failure and (if any) the hardware clock continues to run, the PCD3
isequippedwithabuercapacitor(SuperCap)orabuerbattery:
CPU type
PCD3.M3xx0 Super Cap (soldered, maintenance free) 4 hours

PCD3.M5xx0/M6xx0 Lithium battery Renata CR 2032 1-3 years

2)Dependingontheambienttemperature,thehigherthetemperature,theshorterthebueringtime
For new controllers, the batteries are included in the package and must be used
during commissioning. Note the polarity of the batteries:
The positive pole symbol + of the button batteries Renata CR 2032 must be
visible!
The CPU with lithium batteries are not maintenance free. The battery voltage is
monitored by the CPU.
For the following criteria the LED BATT is activated and the XOB 2 is called:
●thebatteryvoltageislessthan2.4V
●thebatteryisdischargedorhasaninterruption
●thebatteryismissing
To avoid data loss, it is recommended to change the battery while the Saia PCD

is under voltage.
