ATTENTION:
Compatibility Statement -Early Battery Modules with New Power Converters:
Early FlexPoint AX 30Watt 17Ah battery modules (P/N 031-192-20) and new power
converters (P/N 010-318-34 and 010-318-39) are not compatible and if installed together
will result in continuous nuisance AC fail alarms and failed batteries due to an inability
to properly charge deeply discharged batteries. New Power Converters must only be
used with new 30Watt 17Ah battery modules.
New power converters (P/N 010-318-34 and 010-318-39) are compatible with early
18Watt 7.2Ah battery modules (P/N 031-191-20) provided the cable length between
the power converter and the battery module is less than 15-feet and the wire gauge is
18AWG or heavier.
