USER’S GUIDE

BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Opening the battery compartment allows 

the user to install or change the battery, or 

connect the anode, cathode, and control 

circuit connectors (Figure 8). Remove the 

battery compartment cover by flipping 

the handles on the three cam-lock latches 

out and turning them counterclockwise. 

Make sure the latch on the bottom of the 

cover is free, then pull out on the two side 

latches and lift the battery compartment 

cover away from the Apex.
When replacing the battery compartment 

cover, adjust it so that it is on the inside of 

the molded guides of the pack frame. The 

cover must be correctly placed before the 

Apex will operate.
Close the cover latches.

BATTERY CONNECTOR

The battery connector, located inside the 

battery compartment, is a rectangular red 

and black plastic connector on the end of 

the input power cable (Figure 9). It mates 

with an identical connector on the Apex 

battery packs.  This connector is color 

coded and polarized to prevent accidental 

reverse connections of the battery.  

ANODE AND CATHODE CONNECTORS

The anode and cathode connectors are 

black plastic circular 2-pin connectors 

located on the bulkhead between the 

battery compartment and the electronics 

compartment (Figure 10). Access to 

these connectors is gained by removing 

the battery compartment cover.  The 

connectors are identical and allow the use 

of a trailing cathode cable or a cathode 

pole for greater control over placement 

of the output electric field.  Both pins in 

these connectors are live when the Apex 

is on.  These connectors are polarized, 1/4 

turn, locking connectors

CONTROL CONNECTOR

The control connector is a smaller 

4-pin version of the anode and cathode 

connectors (Figure 10). It is also polarized, 

and the smaller size prevents incorrect 

connections.  The Apex utilizes a low 

voltage control circuit for added safety.
