Figure 14: Optional NiMH Battery Pack for FX30E/FX60E
Installing or Replacing the
Battery
Important:
Use only NiMH battery packs approved for
use with the FX30E/FX60E.
1.
If you are replacing an existing battery in a controller
not currently configured for SRAM usage, back up
the FX30E/FX60E's configuration to your work using
FX Workbench.
2.
If a station is running, stop the station using the
platform Application Director view.
3.
Remove all power from the FX30E/FX60E. Wait for
LED activity to stop (if a battery is already installed,
this may take a minute or two).
4.
Remove the cover. See
Removing and Replacing
the Cover
. Note the Option Slot area where the NiMH
battery assembly mounts.
5.
If a battery assembly is already mounted, unplug the
battery from the connector on the controller board.
See Figure 13.
6.
Remove the four screws that secure both option slot
end plates (and if installed, the existing battery
assembly bracket). Set the screws aside. Remove
any existing battery assembly (if applicable).
7.
Plug the battery connector plug of the new battery
assembly into the battery connector on the controller.
See Figure 13.
8.
Set the new NiMH battery assembly on top of the
option card slots, over the option card end plates.
Ensure the bracket mounting holes are aligned with
the standoffs.
9.
Place the four screws through the battery bracket,
option card end plates, and into the standoffs on the
controller's base board. Using a screwdriver,
hand-tighten the screws.
10. Replace the cover.
11. Restore power to the FX30E/FX60E and verify
normal operation.
