• External Mounting: Installs outside the PLC rack, saving valuable rack space and simplifying battery replacement without disrupting I/O wiring.
• Flame‑Retardant Housing: Constructed from ABS plastic with flame resistance, meeting industrial safety standards for harsh environments.
• Long Shelf Life: Maintains full charge for 7 years at room temperature, reducing pre‑installation testing and replacement frequency.
• Plug‑and‑Play Installation: Includes pre‑wired cables with industry‑standard connectors, enabling quick, tool‑free connection to the CPU.
• Extended Operating Temperature: Functions reliably from 0°C to +60°C, suitable for extreme industrial environments like factories and outdoor control cabinets.
• RoHS Compliance: Manufactured without hazardous substances, meeting global environmental regulations for electronic equipment.

Applications

• Industrial Automation: Protects PLC programs, process parameters, and I/O configurations in manufacturing lines, machine tools, and assembly cells during power failures.
• Process Control: Safeguards critical batch recipes, setpoints, and historical data in chemical, water/wastewater, and food/beverage plants, ensuring uninterrupted process operation.
• Power Generation & Utilities: Preserves generator control logic, switchgear settings, and monitoring data in power plants and substations, preventing costly downtime and data loss.
• Oil & Gas: Maintains wellhead control programs, pipeline flow data, and safety interlock logic in refineries and offshore platforms, even during extended power outages.
• Building Automation: Protects HVAC scheduling, lighting control logic, and security system configurations in large commercial facilities, ensuring consistent building management.
• Legacy System Upgrades: Replaces aging IC693ACC302 batteries in upgraded Series 90‑30‑to‑RX3i migrations, extending system life and improving reliability.
• Mission‑Critical Systems: Provides uninterrupted data retention for safety‑related systems, emergency shutdown (ESD) controllers, and high‑availability industrial applications.

Additional Notes

• Replacement Interval: Replace the battery every 5 years under normal operating conditions to ensure maximum backup performance.
• Disposal: Dispose of used batteries per local lithium battery regulations; do not incinerate or dispose of in municipal waste.
• Installation: Route cables away from high‑voltage or noise‑generating equipment to prevent electrical interference.
