Trust everyone had a prosperous easter. I have a clock problem with one of our panalogic display panels , the clock is constantly loosing time , I have reset it several times , each day it is behind , Does anyone know what the cause of this may be ? does the panel have a battery in it for the clock when it is powered off ? regards Phil  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If it loses time while it's turned on it's probably not the battery and likely a crystal problem. If it loses time only when it's turned off it's the battery.  |  IP: Logged Ray Derrick Master Film Handler Posts: 310 From: Sydney, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 04-14-2004 10:40 PM                     Phil The CA2000's control panel (RC140) has a NimH backup battery that maintains the clock and program memory when the unit is powered off. Losing time is a symptom that the battery is beginning to fail. If you call Panalogic in Sydney (02 98946655) we can arrange for an exchange RC140 panel to be sent to your cinema or to your local service company. Alternatively you could have your local service company replace the battery which we can also supply.  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 04-15-2004 06:50 AM                        Thanks for the help , looks like it is a battery problem, will make the conatc with Panalogic. Thanks again  |  IP: Logged
