12. Do Monicon Controllers have a battery backup in the event of mains failure?
Monicon's mains powered controllers have a battery backup facility.
The controllers are fitted as standard with the necessary circuitry to trickle charge backup batteries.
The controllers also have the necessary circuitry to sense mains failure and automatically switch over to the backup battery without interrupting operation.
The batteries are not supplied but are available as optional extras. We recommend a 12V/1.2AH
sealed lead-acid battery for the Single channel and 4 Channel controllers. The Multichannel system required 24Vdc and we recommend two 12V/6AH batteries connected in series.
