Application
The TROLL Replaceable Battery Pack supplements
internal battery power for an Aqua TROLL®100, 200,
or Level TROLL®400, 500, or 700. The battery pack
extends the life of a TROLL device when used properly.

Guidelines and Precautions
l Do not use with any instrument other than an
Aqua TROLL 100 or 200, or Level TROLL 400,
500, or 700.
l The battery pack is vented, and therefore must be
desiccated even if the rest of the deployment
is non-vented.
l Do not submerge the battery pack.
l Use only pile lithium batteries with the battery
pack.

l The battery pack will not function if the batteries
are installed incorrectly.
l Do not apply additional external power to a TROLL
Com device when the battery pack is connected.
l Do not install an instrument directly into the female
connection port of the battery pack, as shown
below. Instruments must be connected using only
a RuggedCable that connects to the male
connection port of the battery pack.
Install the Batteries
Do not install batteries until you are ready to deploy the
TROLL Replaceable Battery Pack.
1. The battery pack is shipped with a small desiccant
installed in one connection port. This desiccant pack is
for shipping only. Always replace this desiccant with a
larger model before deployment. Never deploy the
battery pack with the small desiccant installed.
2. Pull out the small desiccant from the connection port.
3. Grasp the battery pack body in one hand. Grip the
battery pack cap in the other hand.
4. Push in the white button on the cap using your thumb
or finger, and pull off the cap.
5. Install batteries into the four chambers of the battery
pack body, ensuring that they are aligned properly.
Use the graphic located in each battery chamber to
properly align the batteries.
Install the Battery Pack
Install the TROLL Replaceable Battery Pack at the top
of the well. Never submerge the battery pack.
If you have a direct-connect TROLL Com, you will need
Instruction Sheet
to program the TROLL instrument prior to installing the
battery pack. See the instrument Operator's Manual for
instructions on programming the TROLL instrument.
1. Remove the red dust cap from the male twist-lock
connector of the battery pack. Save the dust cap for
later use.
2. Connect the male twist-lock connector to the up-hole
end of the RuggedCable, near the Kellems®grip.
3. Connect a TROLL instrument to the down-hole end of
the RuggedCable.
4. If you still need to program the TROLL instrument,
connect a TROLL Com to the female connection of
the battery pack. Do not apply additional external
power to a TROLL Com device when the battery
pack is connected. Once programmed, remove the
TROLL Com device from the battery pack.
5. Install a desiccant pack to the female connection of
the battery pack. Use a large or extra large desiccant
pack, part numbers 0051810 (Large Desiccant,
Titanium Connector), 0053550 (Large Desiccant,
ABS Connector) or 0090420 (Extra Large
Desiccant). Never deploy the battery pack with
the small desiccant pack used for shipping.
6. Adjust the Kellems grip to create a service loop in the
cable. A service loop allows the battery pack to hang
near the top of the well. To adjust the grip, push both
ends of the grip toward each other and slide the grip
along the cable. The grip should be approximately 0.3
to 0.6 m (1 to 2 ft) from the up-hole end of the
RuggedCable. Be sure that the loop is not long
enough to allow the battery pack to be submerged.
7. Attach the grip to an appropriately-sized well dock.
8. Deploy the TROLL instrument in the well.
9. Use the service loop to position the battery pack down
into the air space of the well casing.
6. Align the two set screws of the battery pack cap with
the small holes in the battery pack body. Push the cap
and body together firmly. You will hear a click when
the cap connects securely to the body.
