NOTE: This procedure is similar to In-Service
Testing outlined previously except that the
triggering signal originates with a leak detector or
emergency shutoff switch rather than the
controller panel
TEST key. Since the actuators
are not on valves during this test, this procedure
may be repeated at 15 second intervals for
numerous sensor calibrations or input tests
without the need to reopen the cylinder or ton
container valve after each cycle. Additionally,
there will be no impact noise and the battery will
not discharge as quickly since there is less load
on the drive motor.
C. Battery
1. Operating Characteristics
Expected life of the system battery is 2 to 3
years under normal conditions. However, due to
differences in environmental factors and use,
the capacity reduction rate of each battery
varies. Because of this,
it is recommended
that the battery be replaced annually with a
factory new battery to insure system
warranty and reliability of torque
application.
The BATTERY STATUS light flashes when the
Gemini microprocessor detects a voltage of less
than 12.5 volts across the battery. During
activation or system test, the
BATTERY
STATUS light may flash intermittently. This is
due to the high current draw of the actuator
motor during the closing and seating of the
valve. As long as the
BATTERY STATUS light
is on and steady, the battery has sufficient
charge.
A fully charged battery has the capacity to
power the actuator through ten cycles, under
load, in a five minute period. Thereafter, allow
five to ten minutes for cooling and recharging.
After a test cycle, be sure that the
BATTERY
STATUS light is on and steady before
proceeding with the next test. Discharging
below about 9 volts can damage the battery. At
that point, the
BATTERY STATUS light goes off
and the battery cannot be recharged and must
be replaced.
2. Storage
Spare batteries, when not supplied a sustaining
charge, have a shelf life of approximately one
year if stored in a cool, dry place. Periodic
recharging of spare batteries through a regular
service rotation will extend shelf life.
3. Battery Replacement
a) Disconnect AC
power.
b) Open controller door
and disconnect the
BLACK battery lead,
then the RED battery
lead from the battery
terminals.
c) Loosen the two
knurled thumb
screws on the
battery crossbar and
remove crossbar.
d) Remove the battery.
e) Place the new battery into the bracket with
terminals at bottom.
f) Reinstall the battery crossbar and tighten the
screws.
g) Connect the RED lead to the positive
terminal and BLACK lead to the negative
terminal of the battery. The
Armed/Ready
lights should slowly flash continuously ON
and OFF for each connected actuator.
h) Reconnect AC power.
i) Push the red RESET
button on the mainboard
(see image and drawing on
pages 11 & 13 for button
location).
WARNING
If the BATTERY STATUS light is flashing, the
actuator may not operate even with charge
power connected. If the battery is fully
discharged, it will not recover regardless of
charging time. The battery must then be
replaced.

NOTICE
Factory recommends annual
replacement of battery. Contact representative or
factory for replacement battery.
WARNING
FACTORY APPROVED BATTERY ONLY!
Use of non-approved battery may prohibit sys-
tem from operating correctly or damage system.
