Important Note for Maintaining Power Supply

To ensure GV-AS / EV Controllers function during power outages, it is crucial to replace the internal battery when needed. Installing a backup battery for compatible controllers is also recommended.

Refer to the GV-AS Controller User Manual for specific backup battery installation instructions for the following models:

GV-AS100 / 110 / 120 through GV-ASBox: See Section 9.1.4.F
GV-AS100 / 110 / 120 through GV-ASNet: See Section 9.2.4.F
GV-AS210 / 2110 / 2120: See Section 4.2.4
GV-AS410 / 4110 / 810 / 8110: See Section 5.2.4
GV-EV48: See Section 6.2.3

Replaceable Button Cell (GV-AS100 / 2110 / 2120 / 4110 / 8110)

For these models, users can replace the battery themselves upon seeing low battery messages and icons in GV-ASManager.

Note: Ensure the plastic insulation film under the battery is removed before first-time use. Failure to do so will result in low battery notifications.

[Image Description: A screenshot from the GV-ASManager software's 'Event Monitor' displays critical system alerts, specifically highlighting 'Low Battery' notifications for different doors and controllers, indicating the need for battery maintenance.]

Built-in Battery Considerations

When the controller's built-in battery (for GV-AS1010 / 110 / 1110 / 120 / 210 / 410 / 810 & GV-EV48) depletes, the local time reverts to 1999/12/31. The controller's time can be checked via its web interface or within the GV-ASManager's Access Monitor, Alarm Monitor, or Event Monitor.

If the controller displays the year as 1999 or 2000, disconnect and reconnect power. If the year remains unchanged, the controller battery requires replacement. Connect to a backup battery and maintain a constant connection with GV-ASManager for automatic time synchronization.

[Image Description: The GV-ASManager interface is shown, focusing on the 'Time Configuration' settings. It illustrates how the controller's local time and time zone are displayed and managed, with an example showing a local time of '2014/04/25 15:42:11'.]
