GFK-2724A Energy Pack*
March 2018
Overview
The PACSystems*RX3i IC695ACC400 Energy Pack is intended for use with one of the
following RX3i CPUs: CPE302, CPE305 or CPE310. It is not compatible with any other CPUs.
In the event of loss of system power, the Energy Pack maintains power long enough for the
CPU to write its user memory contents to non-volatile storage (flash) memory.
The Energy Pack is mounted on the left side of an RX3i module and is connected to the CPU
using cable IC695CBL001. While the system is powered up, the Energy Pack charges from the
RX3i 24 Vdc rail via the I695CBL001 cable that connects the CPU to the Energy Pack,
The Energy Pack is compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU using the following
exemptions identified in the Annex: 7(a), 7(c)-I and III.

Installation
The Energy Pack is mounted on the left side of an RX3i module. To avoid taking up a backplane slot, it should be mounted
on the module (usually a power supply) in slot 0 of the rack. It is connected to the CPU by cable IC695CBL001.
Note that, when mounted on a module in slot 0, the Energy Pack will extend approximately 13mm (0.5") beyond the left
side of the backplane.
To install the Energy Pack:
1. Engage the top mounting hooks on the frame of the Energy Pack module as shown in Figure 3.
2. Rotate the bottom of the Energy Pack into place, engaging the bottom hooks. The latch will snap into place.
3. Connect the IC695CBL001 cable from the connector on the bottom of the Energy Pack (Figure 2) to the
corresponding connector on the bottom of the CPU.

Operation
Note: When the Energy Pack is powered up for the first time, or is in a system that has been powered down long
enough to completely discharge the Energy Pack, it may require a few seconds for it to charge to its operating
level. The Energy Pack will report a Charging state to the CPU during this time.
The Energy Pack provides the following status information to the CPU, which the CPU uses to generate LED indications
and fault messages. For details on these indications and faults, refer to the CPU user documentation.
Charging
The Energy Pack is charging; not yet charged above the minimum operating voltage.
Fault
A hardware fault exists in the Energy Pack.
Low capacitance
The Energy Pack is near its end of life and should be replaced.
Charged
The Energy Pack is charged above its minimum operating voltage and is ready to support CPU
operation.
Replacement Schedule
Replacement schedules for Energy Pack modules can be based on the following estimates.

Diagnostics
Note: Any testing of this unit should be performed only by qualified personnel who are trained in electrical safety
practices and procedures. This unit is not user-serviceable.
IC695CBL001 Cable
This cable uses straight-through end-to-end wiring (pin 1 to pin 1, etc.).
General Conditions of Safe Use
This product is intended for use with the RX3i system. Its components are considered to be open equipment [having live
electrical parts that may be accessible to users] and must be installed in a protective enclosure or incorporated into an
assembly that is manufactured to provide safety. As a minimum, the enclosure or assembly shall provide a degree of
protection against solid objects up to 12mm (e.g. fingers). This equates to a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure or an IP20 rating
(IEC60529) providing at least a pollution degree 2 environment.
