Replacing the Lithium Batteries

CAUTION:

INSTRUCTIONS. These cells can be used in series or parallel up to a maximum of four cells of the same model number. When the cells

are replaced, they should all be replaced at the same time using fresh cells only. These cells should not be connected in series or

parallel with any other (other than the allowed number of cells in series or parallel) power source that would increase the forward

current through the cells.

The NXC-ME260/64 is equipped with two lithium batteries (FG57-0013) that have a life of approximately 2.5 years to protect their

memory.

When DC power is on, the batteries (FIG. 13) are not used.



When replacing the batteries, remove one at a time to avoid losing the program in memory.

Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

Unplug all the connectors from the Controller or Module.

NetLinx Integrated Controller (NXI): Remove the rear panel from the NXI. Then, disconnect the NXI control cable and



remove the Master card.

NetLinx Module (NXS-xxx): Remove the rear panel from the Module, and remove the Master card.



Locate the two batteries behind the Program port on the NXC-ME260/64 circuit board.

Carefully slide one battery out of its socket and insert the new battery.

Plug the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR (green) connector to reapply power. Wait approximately 1 minute. Then, remove the

PWR connector again.

Carefully slide the other battery out of its socket and insert the new battery.

Replace the Master card (re-connect the NXI control cable to the Master card if replacing in an NXI).

Replace and secure the rear faceplate using the mounting screws and reconnect all communication connectors.

Reconnect the 12 VDC power supply to the respective PWR connector and apply power.
