Replace the batteries in a Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA

The Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA is powered by two metal lithium batteries. When the batteries are depleted, you can replace them.

Both batteries must be replaced at the same time. Do not replace just one battery.

Before you begin

• Before connecting the batteries to the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA, review the battery safety information and make sure you have the necessary tools and equipment.

• Review the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the battery.

Prior to installing a replacement battery, each battery should be inspected for any signs of damage. If a battery appears to be damaged or is dropped during the installation, do not use the battery and dispose of it properly. See Battery safety for more information.

To replace the batteries:

1. Open the case.
2. Disconnect any external power source from the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA.
3. Twist the battery holder parallel to the batteries so that you are able to remove the batteries.
4. Remove both of the batteries.

   WARNING! Both batteries must be disconnected and both batteries removed and replaced with a new battery.

   1. The battery wires for each battery are connected to a battery port on the side of the device, with one battery port per battery. Pinch the battery connector for the first battery and pull it from the battery port.
   2. Remove the existing battery.
   3. Repeat the process for the second battery.
5. Place the new batteries in the battery holder. Make sure the battery and its wiring are properly placed, so that the battery wires can be placed in the empty space in the case.
6.  Connect the batteries to the battery ports.
   1. Hold the battery connector for one of the batteries and push the battery connector into the bottom battery port.
   2. Hold the battery connector for the second battery and push the battery connector into the top battery port.

      

7. Close the cover on the device. The cover snaps into place.

Note The Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA enclosure may require some force to close. This is intended as part of the design to ensure a robust seal in damp or dusty environments. For details about closing the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA enclosure, see Close the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA case.
