1 Overview
An Energy Pack is used in conjunction with a Controller
to preserve user memory in the Controller during power
fluctuations or outages.
If system power is lost, the Energy Pack maintains power
long enough for a Controller to write its user memory
contents to non-volatile memory. When system power is
restored, the user memory is restored if the Controller is
configured to power up from RAM.

Pack to Controller cable.
2 Hardware Installation
The Energy Pack can be mounted on a standard EN50022
DIN rail or an equipment panel. It is designed to be
mounted adjacent to the Controller and connected to the
Controller using the provided cable (IC695CBL003).
Heat dissipation: When mounting the Energy Pack,
allow a minimum clearance of 25.4mm (1 inch) on all four
sides of the unit (right, left, top and the bottom).
2.1 Mounting the Energy Pack on a DIN Rail
The Energy Pack snaps easily onto the DIN rail. No tools
are required.
1) Incline Energy Pack so that top edge of plastic
recess (Figure 2) engages top of DIN rail
2) Swivel the Energy Pack so that bottom spring-
loaded plastic clip engages bottom of DIN rail.
3) Listen for click as plastic clip springs back,
securing the Energy Pack onto the DIN rail.

2.2 Panel-Mounting the Energy Pack
Recommended fasteners:
Four M4-0.7 machine screws with minimum length
of 25mm (or 8-32, 1” min. length) and nuts.
CAUTION
Over tightening the mounting screws could
crack the plastic housing.

3.1 Connect Input Power to Energy Pack
IMPORTANT
Before connecting input power, see complete
installation instructions in the PACSystems
Controllers: Battery and Energy Pack Manual,
GFK-2741E or later.
You will need:
▪ A 24Vdc, 72W SELV power supply
▪ A power cord with 18 AWG (0.82mm
2
) copper wires
▪ An 18 AWG (0.82mm
2
) copper wire for frame ground
▪ An input power terminal block – provided
(Weidmuller part number 1748010000)
▪ A small flat-head screwdriver (such as a 1.4mm
jeweler’s screwdriver)
1. Using the power cord, connect the power supply
output to the Energy Pack’s input power terminal
block.
To insert the wires in the power terminal block
connector, you may need to use the small
screwdriver to release the spring clamp on the
terminal block.
Recommended wire stripping length is
7mm (0.28 in).

Connector (bottom view)
2. Insert the plug into the Energy Pack’s Input
Power connector and securely tighten the
attaching screws.
3.2 Connecting the Energy Pack to the
Controller
With power to the system turned off, use the
supplied cable (IC695CBL003) to connect the
output of the Energy Pack (green connector) to
the 24Vdc input on the Controller (3-pin green
connector) and to the serial communication link
(using the 5-pin green connector). Refer to
Figure 5.

4 Grounding
Proper grounding of this device is essential. All ground
wires must be as short as possible and terminated at the
same grounding point.
Figure 5: Frame Ground Connection

GFK-3000A IC695ACC403 Quick Start Guide 8
5 Initial Power-up
When 24Vdc power is first applied to the Energy Pack,
the power-up process goes through the following steps:
1. The IN LED turns on green.
2. The Energy Pack performs a self-diagnostic
test. If this test passes, output power to the
Controller is turned on and the OUT LED turns
on green.
3. Charging of the CapPack begins and the STAT
LED blinks green.
4. When charging of the CapPack is complete, the
STAT LED turns on solid green and the Energy
Pack signals to the controller that it can start
run-time operation. The Controller will not start
running its application until the Energy Pack
signals that it is fully charged.

6.1 LED Indications: Special Cases
All LEDs blinking in unison: See
Firmware Updates, page 12.
6.2 Energy Pack Status Bit Operation
As shown in the table below, a CPU application program
can automatically monitor the status of the attached
Energy Pack via %S0014 (PLC_BAT) and %SA0011
(LOW_BAT). For more details, refer to the chapter on
Diagnostics in PACSystems RX7i and RX3i CPU
Programmer’s Reference Manual, GFK-2950.

7 Replacing the CapPack Module
The CapPack can be removed and replaced while
power is applied to the Energy Pack (hot swapped.)
CAUTION
When hot swapping CapPacks, do not
cycle power until the new CapPack is fully
charged and operational. Cycling power
before the STAT LED on the CapPack is solid
green can result in Controller memory not
being preserved.
Do not hot remove/insert the CapPack during
the firmware update process.
1. Loosen the four screws on the CapPack and
carefully pull the CapPack off the base.
2. Install the new CapPack on the base, first
engaging the module-to-base connectors
and then pressing the CapPack into place.
CAUTION
Over tightening the mounting screws could
crack the plastic housing.
3. Use the four screws provided to secure the
CapPack to the base.
4. When the CapPack is first inserted, the STAT
LED blinks green while the CapPack is
charging. Do not remove power to the
Energy Pack while the CapPack is charging
Page 14
GFK-3000A IC695ACC403 Quick Start Guide 12
because this could result in Controller
memory not being preserved.
The Energy Pack LEDs and the Controller
status bits indicate when charging is
complete and the Energy Pack is ready to
support backup.
5. To remove a Failed Battery fault and clear
the battery status bits, clear the Controller
fault table.
For details on status bit operation, refer to
the PACSystems RX7i and RX3i CPU
Reference Manual, GFK-2222 (rev. Y or later).
8 Firmware Updates
The firmware for the Energy Pack is automatically
updated by the Controller. At power-up, the
Controller checks the version of Energy Pack firmware
to verify compatibility with the Controller firmware. If
an update is needed, the Controller performs it
automatically.
