Additional Considerations
l
Replace the batteries every 18 to 24 months to ensure maximum charging capacity and to avoid unexpected power
failures.
l
Remove the batteries before short- or long-term storage.
l
Clean the outside of the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use ammonia or other harsh chemicals.
l
The vent port, located on the side of the enclosure, must remain free of dirt and debris. Clean as needed.
Preparing the Power Cord
The power cord comes wired into the battery enclosure. You will need to prepare the other end of the cord for wiring into the
serial board in the controller housing.
1. With a utility knife or large wire stripper, remove the approximately 4 in. of outer sheath from the cable.
2. You will see a white and a black wire. Using smaller wire strippers, remove 0.25- to 0.5 in. of sheath from each
wire.
3. Completely remove any shielded wire and other remaining wires with wire cutters.
Mount the Enclosure
Mount the battery enclosure on the same pole or rail as the controller. Brackets for mounting to a 2.5–3.0 in. diameter pole are
included.
Connect the External Battery Enclosure to the Controller Enclosure
1. Route the cable from the External Battery Enclosure to the controller enclosure.
2. Thread the cable through the dome connector and into the enclosure.
3. Connect the leads to the PLC inputs in the I/O Board. See "PLC Connections" on page 24
4. Thread the opposite end of the cable through the dome connector and into the battery enclosure.
5. Firmly tighten the dome connector with a wrench.
