Pocket AL I/O
3.7. BACKUP BATTERY CONfIGURATION
Pocket AL I/O has been designed to guarantee the operation even when power is off. This functionality is performed by the
backup battery. Pocket AL I/O factory configuration (default) foresees that when there is no power the device immediately turns
off (disabled battery). The user must set the battery management as needed. Pocket AL I/O can be set so that when there is no
power, the battery becomes operative for a set time (from 1 to 60 minutes). When the power is restored Pocket AL I/O will continue
its standard operation sending the message of power restored and battery status.

NOTES
1. The Timer field defines the device power on time with backup battery. Without main power and once
the set timer expires, the device will power off.
2. If black-out persists and the Timer set in configuration of key 15 is reached, the device must power
off. Before powering off Pocket AL I/O will save the contacts current status: digital inputs, analog inputs,
outputs.
When main power is restored Pocket AL I/O will restart from the situation stored before the power off and
it will send immediately the eventual alarm message. As for the outputs, Pocket AL I/O will automatically
restore the outputs status to the same condition before power off.
3. By setting the field user1="0" you will be able to read the status with the "test" command without
sending any sms.
4. If this key is not set, the device will immediately power off.
