Principle of Operation
This new and improved battery module design extends battery life and ensures sufficient voltage at low temperatures. It cannot be used in conjunction with external power and is not rechargeable. Table 1 shows the life expectancy of the battery in months for the different configurations. The Average Current Draw shown in Table 2 can be
used to size external power systems or batteries.
Installation
1. To activate the battery power output, remove the jumper from the battery module and replace it over the center
pin and pin marked I (on position). The pin marked 0 (off position) will not be covered by the jumper. The battery
should be stored in the off position to maintain life expectancy.
2. Remove the TB2 External Power Connector and TB1 I/O Termination Strip.
3. Remove the four screws and washers that hold the Electronics Module in place.

4. Plug the battery into the electronics module and replace the four screws and washers to hold the assembly
in place.
