BATTERY & TIME KEEPING

A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. Typical

accuracy of the G308 time keeping is less than one minute per month drift. The
battery of a G308 unit does not affect the unit’s memory, all configurations and
data is stored in non-volatile memory.

To change the battery of a G308, remove power, cabling, and then the rear

cover of the unit. To remove the cover, remove the five screws designated by the
arrows on the rear of the unit. Then, by lifting the top side, hinge the cover, thus
providing clearance for the connectors on the bottom side of the PCB as shown
in the illustration below. Install in the reverse manner.

Remove the old battery* from the holder and replace with the new battery.

Replace the rear cover, cables, and re-apply power. Using Crimson or the unit’s
keypad, enter the correct time and date.

* Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a manner that

complies with your local waste regulations. Also, the battery must not be
disposed of in fire, or in a manner whereby it may be damaged and its contents
come into contact with human skin.

The battery used by the G308 is a lithium type CR2025.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - THE AREA MUST BE
KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS BEFORE SERVICING/
REPLACING THE UNIT AND BEFORE INSTALLING OR
REMOVING I/O WIRING AND BATTERY.

WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT
EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
AND THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The inverter board of the G308A supplies the high voltage to
operate the backlight. Touching the inverter board may result in
injury to personnel.

CAUTION: The circuit board contains static sensitive
components. Before handling the operator interface without
the rear cover attached, discharge static charges from your
body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally,
handle the operator interface at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, do not touch the surface areas of the
circuit board. Dirt, oil, or other contaminants may adversely
affect circuit operation.
