NXA-BASE/1
Modero Battery Base and Accessories
For more detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and
operating instructions, refer to the touch panel’s instruction manual,
available on-line at
www.amx.com
.
ATTENTION!
Verify that the Modero panel is using the latest firmware. Verify that the
battery base is loaded with the latest NXA-BASE/1 firmware. These recent
builds of firmware incorporate the necessary updates for using the Modero
with the NXA-BASE/1.
Overview of the NXA-BASE/1 Kit
The NXA-BASE/1 Kit (FG2255-05K) contains one battery and one battery
base. The NXA-BASE/1 (FIG. 2) is a Modero accessory that allows an
NXT-CV7 touch panel to function off the charge from a single internally
connected NXT-BP battery. The base provides both power and battery
information to the panel via the panel interface connector. The NXT-BP
battery can be charged through either the base (only when connected to
the NXT-CV7 touch panel) or through an optional NXT-CHG Modero Power
Station. When used with the optional battery base, the CV7 panels will
charge the battery during full operation.
Specifications
Checking the NXT-BP Charge
1.
Press the Battery Life Indicator button (FIG. 3) once to illuminate the
Battery Life LEDs and display the percent charge remaining on the
battery (
this indication lasts a few seconds
).
2.
Charge the NXT-BP battery by either inserting it into the battery base
or from within the optional NXT-CHG charger (which can sequentially
charge up to two batteries).
Note
: It is recommended to fully charge this battery before using it to power
an NXT-CV7 panel.
ATTENTION!
If the 25% LED indicator is blinking, recharge your battery immediately.
This blinking indicates there is less than 5% of a charge remaining on the
battery.
Installation of an NXT-BP into the NXA-BASE/1
The base does not directly connect to a power supply. Instead, it receives
the power necessary to charge the battery from the Modero panel (through
the Panel Interface connector).
1.
Install the NXT-BP battery into the base’s battery compartment with
the label-side facing up.
2.
Align the battery connector with its corresponding battery connector
port (located in the battery compartment shown in FIG. 4).
3.
Carefully insert the NXT-BP into the base until the battery securely fits
onto the Battery Connector Port.
