Battery Removal and Replacement

Only use batteries specifi ed by ALTUS. Failure to do so will void the power system warranty. Call customer service for further details.

Do not replace battery in oxygen rich environments sparking may occur.

Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet when removing the battery.

Battery Removal

Tools Needed: 1/8” Allen Wrench

Step 1: Power Down System

A. T ourn ff any components plugged into cart
B. T ourn ff Power System by Holding On/Off Button for 2 seconds

Step 2: Long-term Storage (more than 2 months)

Warning: If cart will not be used for more than 2 months, turn off the cart by holding the ON/OFF Button. The battery will need to be recharged every 30 days to prevent damage.

Step 3: Remove back access panel by loosening and removing (2) screws (See Fig A).

Step 4: Remove back panel. Remove strap and slide battery from base (See Fig. B)

 

Step 5: To access battery cable (to disconnect from controller) loosen and remove (2) screws from the front panel fo base (See Fig. C)

 

Step 6: Disconnect battery harness from controller. (See Fig. D)

 

 

Step 7: Disconnect “blue” RJ45 cable from controller.
(See Fig. E). If replacing with a SLA battery, this step is not needed. If blue RJ45 cable cannot be accessed, the controller can be removed by loosening and removing (2) screws (See Fig, F). Oncescrews are removed, simple slide controller out and disconnect Blue RJ45 cable from slot.
(Note slot location for new battery cable).

 

Step 8: Replace with new battery and repeat Steps 1-7 in reverse order. Make sure all connection are secure (“clicking” them in place).

 

Battery and Power System Removal and Replacement

WARNING! DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO BATTERIES NOT SUPPLIED BY ALTUS
WITHOUT VERIFYING CONTROLLER SETUP AND OTHER OPTIONS WITH ALTUS.

If replacing the LiFe (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery with a SLA battery or SLA to LiFe,
the following steps need to be completed. If the MPM software has been installed, this will help with step #4.

1. All cables to and from controller must be connected, including the battery and its cables and connections.

Both the AC-In and AC-out connector ends include a locking feature to prevent from pulling apart. To disconnect pull back both “red” tabs. Note: Older models may not have this feature (red tabs) so simply disconnect.
Controller must fi rst be OFF (no lights on the Remote User Interface) and connected into AC power. fI using the MPM Software use this step. If not, proceed to step 2.
Connect the USB cable into the technology component within the cart (or into a resident laptop with
the MPM software loaded).

2. Wait for the double yellow to appear on the interface.

3. When this happens, press and hold the mute button for 5 seconds. One “beep” will be made immediately. Within 3-5 seconds after the initial “beep”, a second “beep” will be heard.

Keep holding down the mute button until a scrolling light sequence appears (release mute button atthis time). This will look like all of the green LED lights going lighting up in order and then back off in order. When green light sequence is complete, the controller will showa Yellow LED and Green LED and then will shut itself off (all lights will turn off) and then will “Reboot” itself. When controllerreboots, the remote user interface will show the battery level of the connected battery.

4. The “battery reading for confi rmation” will only be available if MPM View is being utilized.

The cart is ready to be used.

Troubleshooting

Cart will not power up:

•  Plug power cord into a working hospital grade outlet. Note: Do not plug
  into a multi-outlet surge distribution strip. 
• Check to make sure power cord is plugged securely (See Fig. A).

• Check to make sure the Power System is charging when plugged in (See Fig. B). (Right four (4) Green LED lights will be flashing if charging).

• Check to make sure all cables to the power system are secure (See Fig. C). the Blue (LiFe) RJ45 cable ends are secured/snapped into place. First end location is in the LiFe Battery (see Fig. 1). Second end location is in the power controller
• Make sure Power connection from the power controller is secure (Fig. D)
  Both the AC-In and AC-out connector ends include a locking feature (red tabs) to prevent frompulling apart. To check the connections are secure, look at red tabs and pull back and make sure they are locked into place. Note: Older models may not have this feature (red tabs) so simply disconnect.

 

Cart will not charge:

• Check to make sure external spiral cord secure within the cart.
• Ensure outlet is functionally operational.
• Plug power cord into a working hospital grade outlet. Note: Do not plug into a multi-outlet surge distribution strip.
• Check and make sure the External User Interface (EUI) indicates the unit is charging when plugged in.
• If charge level is low (last one or two LED lights lit) let charge until full.
•  If cart still does not charge, check to make sure all cables to the power system are secure.
• If cart still does not charge, resetting the controller is recommended (this is called a Hard Reset). To perform
  a hard reset, disconnect the yellow battery terminals, wait for 10 seconds, then reconnect battery terminals. Make sure both end “click” together. Note: The Hard Reset will remove all current from being fed into the controller and will assist with a battery that remains in battery recovery mode.
