Operation
Note: When the Energy Pack is powered up for the first time, or is in a system that has been powered down long
enough to completely discharge the Energy Pack, it may require a few seconds for it to charge to its operating
level. The Energy Pack will report a Charging state to the CPU during this time.
The Energy Pack provides the following status information to the CPU, which the CPU uses to generate LED indications
and fault messages. For details on these indications and faults, refer to the CPU user documentation.
Charging The Energy Pack is charging; not yet charged above the minimum operating voltage.
Fault A hardware fault exists in the Energy Pack.
Low capacitance The Energy Pack is near its end of life and should be replaced.
Charged The Energy Pack is charged above its minimum operating voltage and is ready to support CPU
operation.
Replacement Schedule
Replacement schedules for Energy Pack modules can be based on the following estimates.

General Conditions of Safe Use
This product is intended for use with the RX3i system. Its components are considered to be open equipment [having live
electrical parts that may be accessible to users] and must be installed in a protective enclosure or incorporated into an
assembly that is manufactured to provide safety. As a minimum, the enclosure or assembly shall provide a degree of
protection against solid objects up to 12mm (e.g. fingers). This equates to a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure or an IP20 rating
(IEC60529) providing at least a pollution degree 2 environment.
