3 Operation
3.1 Enabling Switches
Enabling switches are implemented in two different solutions in the various ePALM models:
Two independent 2-positions switches with NO contacts
One 3-positions switch with two NO contacts
The operator must operate the two independent 2-positions switches simultaneously. The two
normally open contacts are wired directly to the controller.
The 3-positions switch must be operated as described in the table.
1 Released Open Not enabled
2 Pressed Closed Enabled
3 Pressed completely Open Panic
The switch provides two normally open contacts to be wired directly to the controller.
3.2 Indicators and Keypad
The standard keypad of the ePALM panels is shown in the figure below.
Custom artwork may be designed and produced on request. Please inquire for more information.

3.3 Battery Replacement
A Lithium battery is required for data back-up. The battery maintains the following data:
• Hardware real time clock
• Event list
• Recipe data
Note: replacing the battery will cause the loss of the data maintained by the battery.
To replace the battery follow the procedure listed below:
1) turn off the power to the device
2) using a screwdriver loose the 6 screws securing the plastic enclosure
3) open the handheld; the battery is located on the CPU subsystem
4) remove the battery
