  • Hazardous Area Rated: Class 1 Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 approvals for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from 0°C to 55°C in industrial environments

System Compatibility

The SB821 battery unit is compatible with the following ABB control systems:

  • S800 I/O Modules: All S800 digital and analog I/O modules requiring battery backup
  • AC 800M Controllers: PM860, PM861, PM864, PM865, PM866, PM867 processor units
  • Advant Master: Legacy Advant Master CPU modules (via adapter)
  • 800xA DCS: Distributed control system configurations using S800 I/O

Installation Requirement: One SB821 unit required per CPU or I/O module requiring backup power.

Industrial Applications

  • Process Control: Maintains PID loop parameters and alarm setpoints in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing plants during power interruptions
  • Oil & Gas: Preserves critical safety system configurations in offshore platforms and pipeline control stations
  • Power Generation: Ensures turbine control logic and protection settings remain intact during grid disturbances
  • Water Treatment: Retains pump sequencing programs and flow control parameters in municipal water/wastewater facilities
  • Manufacturing: Protects production recipes and machine configurations in automotive, steel, and paper mills

Installation Guide

  1. Mounting: Snap SB821 unit onto 35mm DIN rail in control cabinet, typically adjacent to CPU module
  2. Connection: Plug TK821V020 cable connector into battery port on CPU or I/O module (refer to module manual for exact location)
  3. Verification: Power up system and check CPU diagnostics for battery status (should indicate "Battery OK")
  4. Documentation: Record installation date on battery unit label for maintenance tracking

Safety Note: Do not attempt to recharge SB821 lithium battery. For rechargeable backup, use SB822 model instead.

Maintenance & Replacement

Battery Life Monitoring: ABB S800 I/O and AC 800M systems provide automatic battery voltage monitoring with low-battery alarms typically 3-6 months before depletion.

Replacement Indicators:

  • CPU displays "Battery Low" or "Battery Fault" alarm
  • Battery voltage drops below 3.0V (check via system diagnostics)
  • Battery has been in service for 8-10 years (preventive replacement)

Replacement Procedure:

  1. Order replacement SB821 unit (Part Number: 3BSE018109R1)
  2. With system powered, disconnect old battery cable from CPU
  3. Connect new SB821 battery cable immediately (within 30 seconds to prevent data loss)
  4. Remove old battery unit from DIN rail and dispose per local regulations for lithium batteries
  5. Clear battery fault alarm in system diagnostics
