AGRI-ALERT WIRELESS MODULE
2.1.2 Auxiliary Wireless Modules
Auxiliary Wireless Modules are supplied using
a 16VAC/40V transformer and a battery box.
2.1.2.1 Battery Connection
The terminals marked BATTERY are used for
the backup battery. The Wireless module
uses a 12VDC/5Ah sealed lead acid battery.
No other type of battery can be used.
The
battery wires run through the tube provided
(see figure 5). Make sure the positive wire
of the battery is connected to the positive
terminal.
DO NOT CONNECT A BATTERY
AND TRANSFORMER TO THE
WIRELESS MODULE WHEN SUP-
PLIED BY AN AGRI-ALERT 9600.
BATTERY PROTECTION:
The system goes in shutdown mode whenever the battery voltage decreases
below the shutdown battery threshold. This may happen when the system
runs on the standby battery.
The Wireless module does not recharge a battery that has a voltage below
5 Volts or a battery that is connected with reversed polarity.
2.1.2.2 Transformer Connection
The terminals marked 16VAC on the main board are used for connecting the
16VAC/40 VA transformer. It must be plugged into a 120VAC/60Hz outlet. Make sure
there is no switch on the power outlet.
