Hi

The ultra cap is a pretty small one (physical small). You might be able to find a larger (more farads) one that would fit in the same space. It’s not going to help for a hours and hours sort of outage. It might get you from dying in 15 minutes to dying in a half hour.

After warmup, the ON light is on for the REF-0 unit and the STBY light is on for the REF-1 unit.  While running, there is no output from J8 on the unit marked STBY. J8 works on the unit marked ON.  There is a timestamp coming from J6, and I think a 1PPS signal on some pin or other.
