Battery
NOTE: Charge battery before first use.
A solar panel is part of Field Connect™ system to keep
battery charged.
If battery voltage drops below 11.5 V, gateway stops
transmitting data. When charging raises battery voltage
above 12.2 V, data transmissions begin again. If system
voltage drops below 10.5 V, system goes into hibernation
mode. If hibernation occurs, go to gateway and select
multifunction button to restore system.
Service
IMPORTANT: The battery is sealed. Do not
attempt to refill the battery.
Proper battery maintenance is vital to
dependable service. Keep batteries clean.
Keep all connections clean and tight. Remove
any corrosion, and wash terminals with
baking soda and water. Coat with grease
before attaching cables.
Do not short across battery terminals.
Keep batteries fully charged, especially during
cold weather. Disconnect and remove battery
when not used for 30 days or longer.
Store batteries below 27 °C (81 °F) for maximum
shelf life. Check voltage after storage,
and recharge as needed, as recommended
by battery manufacturer.
Do not store batteries in discharged state or
stack batteries on top of each other.
Charging Battery
IMPORTANT: Do not use a booster battery or
attempt to jump the battery.
Set battery charger at nominal 12 V and
not more than 16 V.
NOTE: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of
this type of battery, it is imperative that the
battery be charged within six months of storage,
otherwise permanent loss of capacity can
occur as a result of sulfation.
1. Disconnect battery terminals from gateway.
2. With charger in off position, connect positive charger
lead to positive terminal. Connect negative charger
lead to negative terminal.
3. Switch charger on and charge battery according to
charger instructions.
4. Switch charger off. Disconnect negative charger lead,
then positive lead.
Cycle Applications: Limit initial current to 3.6 A. Charge
until battery voltage (under charge) reaches 14.4–14.7 V
at 20 °C (68 °F). Hold at 14.4–14.7 V until current drops
to under 120 mA. Battery is fully charged under these
conditions. Disconnected charger or switch to “float”
voltage.
“Float” or “Stand-By” Service: Hold battery across
constant voltage source of 13.5–13.8 V.
