Physical characteristics of the Exprecium Physical characteristics of Exprecium
Size :Size Receiver has all out dimensions, including bracket of 20.3x12.7
cm or 5x8 inches.
Buffer memory :Buffer memory Buffer holds up to 1800 events in a non
volatile
Card keeps printing during fail time if 6 volt external battery is
connected and charged. When computer comes back on, buffer
empties to the computer. If more than 1800 events are received
in the buffer during fail time, card writes over the oldest event.
Written records may be available on printer connected to parallel
printer port.
External battery connectorrExternal battery connector
A six (6) volt battery connector is designed to feed receiver if computer fails.
A 3 foot wire is supplied. Connect the red wire to the positive side and the
black wire to the negative side of the battery.
During normal operation, card takes its power from computer and maintains
battery charge. When computer fails, card takes its power from battery and
keeps on receiving alarms.
Battery size (power) is dependent on the period it must maintain the receiver
operating while PC is off. As a rule of the thumb, define the number of hours
a fully charged battery must support the system and divide by two (2) to get
the A-H.
Example: To support the receiver for 8 hours requires a 4 A-H rechargeable
battery.
Battery type recommended: Rechargeable sealed lead-acid for constant
voltage.
