Battery Installation - ABB Totalflow X Series Startup Manual

Battery Installation

1. To extend the life of the battery pack, fully charge the battery prior to
installation. A system using solar panels may not fully charge the
battery. Also a fast charge, which the solar panel can't provide,
improves the life of the battery. (See tip below)
2. Remove the unit's battery cover plate and insert battery pack into
battery compartment. Insert battery pack with its long dimension
facing outward. When cover plate is reinstalled, it will fit snugly
against some battery packs. The screws can be loosened to
accommodate large batteries.

3. Connect battery pack connector to main electronics board Battery
connector J1 on XFCs or J16 on XRCs, located in upper right corner
of Board.
4. Observe LCD, the display should power up displaying Warm Start
information and begin scrolling through the default display items.
5. Caution: Do not connect solar panel power cable to the unit unless
the main battery pack is connected.
TIP: To recharge a battery, a quick charge will remove the buildup in the
battery much more effectively than a "trickle charge". A battery
slowly drained by low light conditions on a solar charged system or
setting in storage for instance, will be less likely to recover than a
battery pack that was quickly discharged from a short for instance.
Store batteries in a cool environment for less drainage.
Lithium Battery
1. Verify that the Memory Backup is Enabled with a jumper on the
upper two pins of J13 on the XFC or J1 on the XRC.
