Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What type of battery is supported by the 140XCP90000 module?

This battery holder is designed to accommodate a 3.6V lithium battery, such as the TL-5903 or an equivalent industrial-grade model.

2. How does this module contribute to PLC system reliability?

It ensures that volatile memory in the Quantum PLC retains all operational data and settings during power outages, reducing downtime and preventing data loss.

3. Is it necessary to shut down the system before replacing the battery?

Yes, for safety and to avoid potential memory corruption, it is recommended to shut down the PLC before replacing the battery in the holder.

4. How do I know when the battery needs to be replaced?

The Quantum PLC system provides diagnostics and alerts that indicate battery health status, helping you determine the optimal replacement time.

5. Can this holder be installed in outdoor or high-moisture environments?

While it is rugged, it should be installed in a protected enclosure rated for the environmental conditions to ensure proper operation and battery life.

6. Does this module require configuration or firmware updates?

No, it is a hardware-only component with plug-and-play functionality. No programming or firmware is involved.

7. What maintenance does the module require over time?

Minimal maintenance is needed aside from scheduled battery checks and replacements every 8–10 years depending on environmental factors.

8. Is the module secured against vibration and industrial shock?

Yes, it is constructed using durable materials and mounting methods that support industrial-grade vibration resistance.

9. Can I use a rechargeable battery with this module?

No, it is not designed to support rechargeable batteries. Only use the specified non-rechargeable 3.6V lithium battery models.
