Battery safety

Always use the designated battery, model number 76002150, from Digi International Inc.

Allow only a trained technician to replace the lithium thionyl chloride batteries used in a Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA.

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 Replace the batteries in a Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA for more information.

Do not attempt to recharge the Connect Sensor lithium battery, as it could explode.

When the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA is installed in C1D2 environments, do not disconnect the battery until the environment around the Connect Sensor XRT-M NEMA is vented or known to be free of any flammable gas concentrations.
