Theory of Operation<br />

Backup Battery Circuit<br />

The CPU board is supplied with backup power from the on-board battery, BT1, whenever the line voltage<br />

is off or too low to supply the instrument with the required input voltage. Transistor Q1 is turned on by<br />

the +15 V supply to supply +5 V to the circuits connected to the battery with a minimum drop in voltage.<br />

While the instrument is turned on, CR2 keeps the battery from being back charged.<br />

A4 Test Points<br />
