Answer / Solution
Replace the VLX coin-cell battery. The onboard lithium coin-cell battery provides power for the real-time clock ACM Battery (/asn/s/article/ACM-Battery) 79
and for battery-backed SRAM when 24 VAC power is unavailable
For best results, replace the coin-cell battery every three years. Standby battery life is approximately 10 years,
with 1.5 years of cumulative backup capability. Battery life varies depending on application

To replace the VLX coin-cell battery:


1. Raise the left flap of the VLX and note the battery location.
2. Without removing power, carefully raise the battery clip about 1/8" with a small screwdriver.
3. Dispose of the old battery in an approved method.
4. Paying attention to polarity, insert the replacement battery into the battery clip.
5. Close the flap.

CAUTION Always back up VLX data to the BACtalk operator workstation before replacing the coin-cell battery. It is
recommended that you replace the battery while 24 VAC power is applied to the unit. Otherwise, the VLX
loses configuration data, and you must restore data manually from an operator workstation.

Refer VLX-EXP Installation and Operations Guide for more details.

Cause (Optional)
Configuration AVs are stored in battery-backed non-volatile memory, and DDC and automation features are stored in
flash memory.
