2.1.4 Battery Backup

A lithium battery backs up the CR200(X) clock, program, and memory if it

loses power.

2.1.5 Power Supply

The CR200(X) is powered by a nominal 12 volt DC source. Acceptable power

range is 7 to 16 VDC.

The CR200(X) does not have an internal power supply but does have

connections for an external battery and a built-in charging regulator for charging

a 12 V lead-acid battery from an external power source. Charging power can

come from a 16-22 VDC input such as a solar panel.

2.1.6 Antenna

For CR200(X) models with a built-in radio, an FCC authorized antenna is a

required component. An SMA male connector is provided on the CR200(X)

wiring panel for antenna connection. Antennas are either 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz

depending on the type of radio installed.
