 Troubleshooting & Repair 

 

The RAE PowerPak is designed to be trouble-free and require no 

maintenance. However, if you see the status LED glow orange and 

an error message in the display, refer to the error message table on 

page 12 and take the suggested action. 

 

 

 

14.1  Encapsulated Internal Battery Replacement 

 

In the unlikely event that one of the encapsulated internal batteries 

needs replacement, it is easy to replace them in the RAE 

PowerPak. Follow these steps, and only replace an encapsulated 

internal battery with a RAE Systems model with the same part 

number (F03-3002-000). 

 

WARNING! 

Only open the RAE PowerPak enclosure and change or charge 

encapsulated internal batteries in a non-hazardous location or with 

a “hot zone” permit.
