Adding a Backup Battery
To install a battery backup for node and additional blades:
Battery standby power has not been investigated by UL.
The network node does not include a battery, but one can be provided and
mounted on the floor of the wall mount cabinet. The recommended battery is a
12 Volt Sealed or Valve Regulated Lead Acid type with a capacity of either 7AH
or 12AH.
The battery cable is included but is not pre-installed. This cable has a 3-pin
connector for the node (with the center position empty) and two quick connectors
for the battery terminal tabs.
CAUTION
:
Do not connect the battery terminals and the node until power is
supplied to the node.
The specified battery is not meant to function as a UPS, but rather to supply
sufficient power for two to six hours of system function in case of power failure.
Do not connect a battery before external power is supplied. It will immediately
power up the node and begin to drain the limited battery power. Once external
power is supplied, you can connect the battery and it will charge at 12V via the
connection with the node.
