3.6 Install the New batteries
Note:
Use tape to secure the wires to the batteries. Place the
tape in a location where the wire can sit flat against the battery.
Also, when taping the wires to the batteries, take care not to
tape over the loop fastener on the bottom of the batteries.
1. Set the new battery #1 in the case with its terminals fac-
ing up and with the terminal-end of the battery toward
the relays (Figure 17).
2. Attach the black or red [24 +] wire connector to the posi
-
tive (red) terminal on battery #1. Use 3˝ tape to secure
wire to battery #1.
3. Hold battery #1 with the looped fastening strip facing
down and the terminals facing the center of the case.
Press the battery onto the hooked fastening strip in the
bottom of the case.
° Verify that no wires are kinked, bent, or trapped under
the battery, and that there is no interference between the
battery terminals and any other wires or objects.
4. Set the new battery #2 in the case with its terminals fac-
ing up and with the terminal-end of the battery toward
the Actuator Unit Port (Figure 17).

WARNING
Short-circuiting a battery can cause injury and
battery damage. Do not allow any wire or tool
to connect both positive and negative terminals
on a battery. This could damage the battery or
cause a spark.
3.5 Replace the Hooked
fastening Strips (If Needed)
Verify that each new battery has a looped fastening strip at-
tached, and that the case has two hooked strips attached.
1. Inspect the hooked strips in the case. If they are clean,
undamaged, and held the old batteries in place securely,
skip the rest of this section. If the strips appear to be
unsuitable in any way, go to step 2.
Note:
Mark the locations of the old strips (Figure 16). It is
important to attach the replacement strips at these locations to
ensure good contact with the looped strips on the batteries.
2. As needed, remove one or both of the old fastening strips
from the case.
3. If needed, dab a small amount of alcohol onto a cloth
(or use a disposable towelette or cleaning wipe) to clean
the area where the old strips were attached.
Do not use
water and do not pour any liquid into the POWERPac.
Do NOT get electrical connections and components
wet.
Dry the area thoroughly before attaching the new
fastening strips.
4. Remove the paper backing from the new hooked strip(s)
and press the strip(s) firmly to the lower housing for three
to five seconds for good adhesion.

Important
Water or any other liquid in the POWERPac can
damage the electrical components. Only use a
moist cloth or sponge to clean the case.
