Additional options installed and specific configurations within the HandPunch make it
difficult to predict precisely how long battery support will last, but in general two
hours of battery operation can be expected. While operating on battery backup due to
loss of main input power, the battery output voltage is constantly monitored by
internal circuitry. If the battery voltage reaches approximately 9.5 volts the
HandPunch automatically shuts down. This is done to prevent full exhaustion of the
battery. A yellow indicator on the top panel illuminates to indicate that the HandPunch
is running on battery power. This indicator turns off when main input power is
restored.

Shunt J7, which is located immediately in front of the DIP switches on the main logic
board (see Figure 4-1 on page 19), enables or disables battery operation on those
HandPunches equipped with optional battery backup. If a HandPunch does not have
the optional battery backup package installed, J7 is not used. On HandPunches
equipped with the battery backup option, J7 allows service personnel a mechanism for
disabling battery backup operation before removal of main input power.

To fully power down a HandPunch equipped with battery backup, remove or
reposition shunt J7 so that the two pins protruding up from the main logic board are
not connected to each other. This effectively opens the circuit, removing the battery
from any internal circuitry. Main input power can then be removed and the HandPunch
will fully shut down. Once the HandPunch has fully shut down, shunt J7 may be
reinstalled.

The design of the power supply is such that main input power must be reapplied to re-
enable the battery protection mechanism. If shunt J7 is not properly installed, the
internal backup battery will not be charged, and in the event of a main input power
loss, the HandPunch will shut down.

2.3.2
HandPunch to Host Computer Connection
HandPunch/host computer communications can be configured in one of two ways:
•
via a direct RS-232 connection
•
via an optional Modem connection
2.3.2.1
RS-232 Host Computer Connection
A direct HandPunch connection to a host computer can be made through an 8-
conductor cable in an RS-232 serial configuration. An RJ-45 jack must be installed
within 6 feet of the host computer. The HandPunch RS-232 cable is connected to this
jack. The cable connects to the host computer’s serial port through an RJ-45/DB-9F
connector. Figure 4-3 on page 21 provides a wiring diagram for the RS-232 to host
computer connection.
