Step 2 If a station is running, stop it using the platform Application Director view.
Step 3 Remove all power from the controller. Wait for all LED activity to stop (if a
battery is already installed, this may take a minute or two).
Step 4 Remove the cover. See “Removing and Replacing the Cover,” page 10.
Note the Option Slot area where the NiMH battery assembly mounts.
Step 5 If a battery assembly is already mounted, unplug the battery from the con-

installed, the existing battery assembly bracket). Set the screws aside.
Remove any existing battery assembly (if applicable).
Step 7 Plug the battery connector plug of the new battery assembly into the battery
connector on the controller (see Figure 9).
