Battery management and data retention
The eTOP series 300 operation panel is equipped with a rechargeable lithium battery (model VL2330), which cannot be replaced by the user. The battery maintains the following information:
Hardware real-time clock (date and time)
Event List
Charging requirement: It must be charged for 48 hours during the first installation. After the battery is fully charged, it can guarantee a data backup time of 3 months in a 25 ° C environment.
This battery management solution ensures that critical system information and time data can be maintained even in the event of a main power outage, providing important support for system restart and fault diagnosis.
Maintenance and Cleaning Procedures
9.1 Panel Cleaning
The equipment can only be cleaned with soft cloth and neutral soap products, and solvents are strictly prohibited. This limitation is due to the chemical resistance of the front panel film, and improper cleaning agents may cause panel damage or reduced protective performance.
9.2 Sealing gasket maintenance
After long-term use of the installed sealing gasket, or after the equipment and its sealing gasket are removed from the panel, the original protection level cannot be guaranteed. Regularly check the condition of the sealing gasket and contact the supplier for replacement parts if necessary.
Programming and Software Configuration
10.1 Programming Fundamentals
The eTOP series 300 operation panel must be programmed using the Designer programming software package. When programming, the panel needs to be connected to a personal computer running the Designer software, and the panel must be in configuration mode to be programmed. Connect the panel and personal computer using CA253 cable.
The Designer software package is for Windows ™ The application must be installed correctly. Windows ™ The environment is not included in the Designer package and must be pre installed on a personal computer.
10.2 Communication parameter settings
The software package can use the COM1 or COM2 communication port on a personal computer. Users need to ensure that the Designer program is correctly configured to communicate with the actual communication port connected to the cable.
The communication parameters between the panel and the personal computer are:
Speed: 9600 baud (PC/printer port models also support 19200 and 38400 baud)
Parity check: None
Stop bit: 1
The Designer software defaults to using these correct parameters.
10.3 Firmware Compatibility
The Designer software version used must be compatible with the firmware version of the panel to be programmed. For more information on firmware and programming software compatibility, please contact technical support.
Command system and operating mode
11.1 Command Overview
