- Divar Network 2000, 3000 and 5000 series
When the battery is getting too less power due to his lifetime, it needs to be exchanged. For the above mentioned families the life time of the battery is guaranteed for 5 years. When the power of the battery is getting to low the clock of the recorder will be displaying the wrong date and time at startup it shows 01-01-2000 00:00
This wrong date and time will only be seen at the moment the CTN has been started up after powered off.
Step-by-step guide
What is being done or recommended to address:
- To exchange the battery you need to take some safety precautionary measures first;
- Repair work on the device must comply with the safety standards specified in EN 60065 (VDE 0860).
- A mains isolating transformer must be used during any work for which the opened device is connected to and operated with mains voltage.
- The device must be free of any voltage before performing any alterations with upgrade sets, switching the mains voltage, or performing any other modifications.
- The minimum distance between voltage-carrying parts and metal parts that can be touched (such as the metal housing) or between mains poles is 3 mm, and must be observed at all times.
- The minimum distance between voltage-carrying parts and circuit parts that are not connected to the mains (secondary) is 6 mm, and must be observed at all times.
- Special components that are marked with the safety symbol in the circuit diagram (note) must only be replaced with original parts.
