When to replace the battery
The battery needs replacing if:
After performing the EP self test, the EP’s LED is blinking red.
The EP has a “low” or “drained” battery status on the IOT health tab.
Before you begin
CAUTIONS
Wet and extremely wet environments
If you need to replace the R4010 battery for an endpoint located in a wet environment (washdowns, chemical exposure, high humidity, or wet environment as part of the manufacturing process), remove the endpoint and replace the battery in a non-HZ clean environment.
Hazardous environment
The R4010 endpoint is meant for a non-hazardous environment. Having said that, before replacing the battery, check that you are not working in an explosive (hazardous) environment.
Areas are specified as hazardous when containing (but not limited to) the following three fundamental components:
A flammable substance (which can be a gas, liquid, or solid)
An oxidizer
Source of ignition
If the environment is hazardous, perform the replacement outside of the explosive environment.
General precautions
While working on or near an operating machine, follow the safety precautions required by the area/plant where you work.
Do not attempt to fix an EP installed on any equipment while in the proximity of any exposed hazards. Remember to use appropriate personal protective equipment.
Don’t use batteries other than the ones provided within the Augury R4010 battery kit!
Tip
Before removing the endpoint, note where it’s located and how it’s positioned. If permitted, take a photo to reference when remounting the endpoint.
Required tools and parts
The battery must only be replaced with an Augury battery pack, PN SA00042. The battery shall only be removed/changed when the equipment is in a non-flammable environment.
The following tools are required after removing the endpoint from the machine.
Tool | Part number | Image |
2 x R4010 cover tool | MM00207 |  |
R4010 lock ring tool | MM00208 |  |
R4000 series battery pack | KT00035 - EVE |
Replacing the battery
Follow these steps to replace the Halo R4010 battery pack.
1: Place the R4010 lock ring tool on the bottom of the sensor. Place the R4010 cover tool on the R4010 cover and rotate it counter-clockwise to loosen the cover.
2: Remove the lock ring tool and screw a second R4010 cover tool to the bottom of the sensor to provide counter pressure.
3: Use the R4010 cover tool to apply force to overcome the negative pressure inside the sensor and remove the cover. The cover should pop off.
4: Press the sides of the battery cover inward and release the snaps from one of the sides. Then, pull it over from the released side and remove it.
5: Disconnect the battery connector and remove the battery pack.
6: Insert a new battery pack and reconnect the battery connector.
7: Push the battery pack cover until it snaps into place. Verify that the wires don't interfere with the guide rails (i.e., the slots on both sides of the "H" shape in the battery holder)
8: Replace and tighten the sensor cover:
Secure the bottom of the sensor with the R4010 lock ring tool to prevent it from rotating.
Place the cover on the endpoint and use the R4010 cover tool to turn the locking ring clockwise and tighten the sensor cover.
Note that significant axial force is required when tightening the cover.
9: Validate that the sensor is properly closed by making sure that the geometric details of the plastic parts are aligned as shown in the following image.
10: Press the button on the top of the sensor to activate it. The sensor performs a self test.
11: If the test is OK, the LEDs turn green (both LEDs) for 5 seconds. Five seconds later, green and orange LEDs begin blinking in an alternating sequence.
12: Check the endpoint connectivity and battery levels using the Halo installation app.
