Power is provided by a sealed lead acid 12V
battery located inside the Smart RTU enclosure.
The battery is then charged by either a solar panel
or an AC power supply (dependent on specific
unit). Battery voltage should normally be between
12.0 and 12.8 VDC. If the battery level is lower
than 11V, the battery will need to be replaced. The
battery voltage can be read by using a voltmeter
(with the charging system fuse opened).
The battery pack shall only be replaced with
PowerSonic model numbers PS-12180 (for a solar
powered Smart RTU) or PS-1270 (for AC powered
Smart RTU). Replacement batteries can also be
obtained by contacting your local Flowserve
representative (battery pack part numbers G1-0005
& G1-0004).
Perform the following steps to replace the battery:
1. Ensure an explosive atmosphere is not
present, and then open the cover of the Smart
RTU enclosure.
2. Power down unit by removing the battery and
power supply/solar panel fuses inside the
enclosure.
3. Disconnect the wires connecting to the battery
terminals.

6. Reconnect battery and power supply/solar
panel fuses.
7. Ensure Smart RTU powers up, then close
enclosure cover.
8. Dispose of old battery in accordance with local
laws and regulations.
