FAQs
What is the purpose of the AIM MyChron5 Battery Blanking Plate?
Its primary purpose is to replace the internal battery in the AIM MyChron5 or MyChron5 2T and provide a sealed barrier to prevent water and dirt from entering the unit when an external power source is used.
Does this blanking plate provide power to the MyChron5?
No, the blanking plate itself does not provide power. It is a passive component that seals the battery compartment, allowing you to use an external power source for your MyChron5.
Is this compatible with other AIM dash loggers?
No, this blanking plate is specifically designed for the AIM MyChron5 and AIM MyChron5 2T Kart Dash Displays only.
How do I install the blanking plate?
You remove the internal battery from your MyChron5 unit and then insert the blanking plate into the battery compartment, ensuring it fits snugly.
What should I do if I suspect water damage after installing the plate?
If you suspect water damage, immediately disconnect all power sources and consult the AIM MyChron5 user manual or contact customer support. Ensure the blanking plate was installed correctly and the seal is intact.
Can I use this with the internal battery installed?
No, this blanking plate is designed to replace the internal battery. It cannot be installed with the internal battery present.
Troubleshooting
Blanking plate does not fit securely
Ensure you are using the correct plate for your MyChron5 model and that no debris is obstructing the compartment. Gently press around the edges to confirm a seal.
Water/dirt ingress after installation
The blanking plate may not have been installed correctly or the seal is compromised. Reinstall the plate, ensuring it is fully seated. Inspect the plate for damage; if damaged, it needs replacement.
MyChron5 unit not powering on
This issue is related to the external power source or the MyChron5 unit itself, not the blanking plate. Verify your external power connection and the MyChron5 unit's power input.
