Connect battery pack
Together with the CX2100-0914 power supply unit, the CX2900-0192 battery pack is capable of supplying power to the Embedded PC in case of power failures. The power supply unit and the battery pack are connected to each other by two cables. In normal operation the battery pack is charged by the power supply unit. In the event of a power failure the battery pack supplies the Embedded PC with power via the power supply unit.
If a further device such as a control panel or monitor is connected to the X940 OUT connection (+24 V, 0 V, earth), this device will also be supplied with power by the battery pack in the event of a power failure (see: Supplying external devices.).
Requirements:
- Cable for the power supply (+24 V, 0 V, earth) with a conductor cross-section of 1.5 mm².
- RJ45 Ethernet cable, Cat-5 standard with four wire pairs. Crossover cables are not supported.
- The cables must not be any longer than 5 m.
Connect the battery pack as follows:
- 1. Switch off the supply of power to the power supply unit.
- 2. Configure the cable (+24 V, 0 V, earth) and mount the cable on the plugs supplied.
- 3. Make sure that the cables on the connections on the X940 BAT power supply unit and on the X101 BAT battery pack are correctly configured (+24 V, 0 V, earth).
- 4. Connect one end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to the X941 BATTERY connection of the power supply unit.
- 5. Connect the other end of the cable to the X102 connection of the battery pack.
- 6. Insert the fuse (10 A ff) into the battery pack.
- If both LEDs on the X941 BATTERY connection of the power supply unit light up green, you have successfully connected the power supply unit and the battery pack to each other. The upper LED (LINK) lights up when the battery pack and the power supply unit are connected. The lower LED lights up when the battery pack is being charged.
