Changing the Clock Battery on a Honeywell Paperless Recorder

The installed base of Honeywell Trendview X series paperless recorders is approaching an in-service period of a decade (introduced mid-2006). Given that kind of service time, you need to be aware of the issues involved in changing the clock battery.
The replaceable clock battery serves as a backup for the on board real-time clock chip as well as the internal battery-backed static RAM. If your paperless recorder is getting old, the battery may ready for a swap-out. If so, you may need a one-day-use access code that only Honeywell can provide, so plan ahead. You don’t want to get locked out of your recorder!
How do I ignore negative values on a Honeywell paperless recorder?

When you’re dealing with process recorder functions, some actions don’t like negative values, like a totalizer that sees a negative offset at zero flow as backflow, which impacts the total. But on the Honeywell X-Series paperless recorders, you can work around the issue, so they report only the positive values.
