AXB-232++ - Instruction Manual

Rack-Mounting the AXB-232++ (Optional)

To rack-mount the AXB-232++ into the optional AC-RK Accessory Rack Kit:
1.

Remove any connected power, and AxLink and RS-232 connectors from the rear panel.

2.

Remove the 2 screws on the front panel of the AXB-232++, and remove the front panel as well as the space bracket behind 

the panel.

3.

Place the unit in the appropriate opening in the AC-RK.

4.

Place the front panel of the AXB-232++ on the front of the rack, over the unit.

5.

Fasten the front panel to the rack and unit with the 2 screws you removed.

Replacing the Lithium Batteries

The AXB-232++’s lithium batteries have a life of approximately 5 years to protect its memory. When DC power is on, the batteries 

are not used. When you install the AXB-232++, record the date the batteries should be replaced.

NOTE: 

There is a danger of explosion if you replace the batteries incorrectly. Replace batteries with the same or equivalent type 

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Never recharge, 

disassemble, or heat batteries above 212°F (100°C). Never solder directly to the batteries or expose the contents of the batteries to 

water.

Before removing the lithium batteries, contact your dealer and verify that they have a current copy of your program to avoid an 

inadvertent loss of data and prevent an unnecessary service outage.
1.

Discharge the static electricity from your body.

2.

Unplug the two-pin power connector and any other connectors.

3.

Remove the two screws on the front panel, remove the front panel, and slide the circuit board out of the enclosure.

4.

Carefully slide each battery out of its socket (FIG. 9), and insert the new battery.

5.

Slide the circuit board back into the enclosure, replace the front panel, and refasten the 2 screws.

6.

Reconnect any connectors that you removed.
