WARNINGS 

 

Fully Charge the Li-ion battery after installation before first time use by plugging a USB-C 
cable into the USB-C charging port on the circuit board until the RED charging LED turns 
off. This allows the device to calibrate and correctly determine the remaining battery 
charge. 

 

Incorrect battery orientation can damage the circuit board.  

 

Always leak test your RAPT Pill by submerging in water prior to sanitising and dropping in 
your fermenter 

 

Only use KegLand approved cleaners such a

StellarOxy

 an

StellarClean

 and sanitisers 

such a

StellarSan

 o

Phosphoric Acid

. 

Battery Installation

 

 
The battery will come pre-installed in the RAPT Pill with a non-conductive strip on each terminal to 
prevent the device from being activated during transit.  Before plugging the device into power, you 
will need to remove the battery and remove the two non-conductive strips from the terminals. Then 
reinstall the battery making sure you follow the (+) and (-) inscriptions on the battery and battery 
housing to ensure you install the battery in the correct orientation. 

Important: make sure you install the battery in the correct orientation. Incorrect battery 
orientation can result in damage to the circuit board. This will not be covered by warranty.
