5.3 Real-time clock battery

The battery supplies power to the real-time clock (RTC) and maintains the BIOS settings in
the VL2 B(P)PC ... EX when the system is not connected to a 24 V DC power source. If
power is removed while the battery is discharged or removed, any user-defined BIOS
settings will be lost, and a “CMOS checksum error” message appears once power is
restored.
To account for user-defined BIOS settings, it is recommended that they be recorded
Preliminary
through photos or a separate document before the battery is depleted or removed. Store the
photos or documents on a different device so they are accessible in the event of a boot
failure.
The real-time clock uses a CR2032, CR2032H, or BR2032 3 V lithium battery. Batteries
must be rated as -20°C to +80°C or better. The battery has a typical life of five years and
