Replacement RAM Battery Kit Instructions

For P/N TBUM297592/TBUM297593/TBUM297594

Recommendations

• Implement central monitoring of your RTU’s RAM battery voltage status to allow for notification in the event of battery

depletion.

o SCADAPack x70 devices provide a RAM battery status indication as well as RAM battery voltage that are

available as System Data Objects when using firmware version 9.1.2 or later with RemoteConnect configuration

software R2.1 or later.

o SCADAPack E RTUs provide a battery status indication (normal or low) as a system point. The threshold value

for the low indication is 3.1 V.

o Standard SCADAPack RTUs (including the 4203) maps the battery voltage reading to a Modbus register when

using Telepace firmware. When using IEC 61131-3 firmware with SCADAPack Workbench, the battery voltage

can be mapped to Modbus or DNP3 using an I/O connection. The recommended battery voltage notification

threshold is 3.1 V to indicate that the battery will soon need to be changed.

Handling the RAM Battery

Notice

DEVICE OR BATTERY DAMAGE

• Treat batteries with care.

• Follow the manufacturers’ instructions concerning battery storage, use and disposal.

• Keep batteries clean and free from contaminants or other materials that could short the terminals.

• Connect new batteries using the correct polarity.

• Observe the manufacturers’ instructions regarding disposal or storage of batteries. Considerable energy remains in the

battery.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Replacing the RAM Battery

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not attempt to replace the onboard battery when the device is

being used for ATEX or IECEx hazardous area applications.

Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support for further information.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or

serious injury.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Evaluate the operational state of the equipment being monitored or

controlled by the device before removing power.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or

serious injury.

Removing the Old RAM Battery

1. Back-up your SCADAPack RTU configuration, user-created

applications, logs and other data to an external device so

that it can be reloaded when the procedure is complete.

2. Remove power from the SCADAPack RTU.

WARNING

STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE

The electronics inside the RTU can be damaged by static

electricity.

Wear an anti-static wrist strap that is connected to ground when

changing the RAM battery. Failing to follow this step can cause

intermittent or total loss of RTU operation and will void the

warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment

damage.

3. Put on an anti-static wrist strap and verify that it is connected

to ground.

4. Remove the SCADAPack RTU cover.

5. Remove the existing tie wrap or battery clip:

• For the tie wrap, keeping the cutting tool away from the

circuit board, carefully cut the tie wrap and remove it by

pushing one end back into the hole in the board, and

then pulling it out from the other end.

• For the battery clip, using your thumb and index finger,

pinch either side of the battery clip and pull up.

6. Carefully remove the RAM battery from its socket by pulling

it away from the circuit card.

Inserting the Replacement RAM Battery

Each Ram battery is supplied with a battery clip like the one in

the picture below.

Notice

BATTERY DAMAGE

During handling, ensure that the RAM battery terminals are not

accidentally shorted.

Placing the RAM battery terminals down, on a conductive surface,

can cause the battery to short and will reduce the life of the

battery.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment

damage.

1. Unpack the replacement RAM battery and place it on a non-

conductive surface until you are ready to insert it.

2. Carefully insert the RAM battery pins into the sockets on the

circuit board. Note that to maintain correct polarity and

positioning of the RAM battery, the (+) pin closest to the

center of the battery, must be placed in the corresponding

(+) socket near the center of the battery outline on the board.

3. Insert the first arrow head of the battery clip into the hole on

one side of the battery and press it until it clicks into place.

Note: If you have an MVT, you need to cut off the nipple

from the underside of the battery clip. See the video link in

the Replacing the 4203 MVT battery section below.

4. Press the other arrow head of the battery clip towards the

battery.

5. Push the arrow head down into the hole on the other side of

the battery until it clicks into place.

When the battery is correctly installed, it should look like the

following:

6. Reattach the SCADAPack RTU cover and tighten the screws

on the cover.

7. Start in Cold Boot mode:

• Apply power to the SCADAPack RTU while holding

down the RST, Select, or LED POWER button,

depending on your device.

• Hold the button until the Status LED begins blinking on

and off.

• Release the button.

8. Reset the time on the SCADAPack RTU.

9. Reload the SCADAPack RTU configuration, data, and user-

created applications from the back-up.

Once the SCADAPack RTU has been recommissioned, test

with a 1-minute power down followed by a restart, to confirm

that it will automatically restart correctly after any power

interruptions.

Replacing the 4203 MVT battery

Back up the configuration and data prior to replacing the

battery, so that it can be restored if the configuration is

lost while changing the battery.
