1.0 Introduction
The FlexPoint AX solution is a simple, modular, cost-effective way to provide local power to
Fiber to the Home (FTTH), cable telephony, or other telecom services for Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE). The FlexPoint AX system can be configured as a fully accessible outdoor
powering solution, or as a partial outdoor system that keeps critical items, including the battery, outside and available to the service technician.
ATTENTION:
Compatibility Statement -Early Battery Modules with New Power Converters:
Early FlexPoint AX 30Watt 17Ah battery modules and new power converters 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 are compatible with early 18Watt 7.2Ah battery modules provided
the cable length between the power converter and the battery module is less than 15feet and the wire gauge is 18AWG or heavier.
FlexPoint AX components (outdoor installations)
Power-Ring: an electrical utility meter base extender. It fits between an

NOTE:
1. Use 14AWG (preferred) to 16AWG (minimum) for the cabling between the Home Converter/ Safety Fuse
Power-Ring Converter and battery housing. Use only cable rated for the outdoor environment. The maximum
cable length is determined by the maximum output voltage of the Power Converter/Home Converter minus
the voltage drop required by the Battery Module to properly charge the battery.
2. Use 18AWG (minimum) stranded cable for the +/- connections, and 18AWG to 22AWG cable for the alarm
connections between the battery housing and the NID/NIU/ONT. Use only cable rated for the outdoor
environment. The maximum cable length is calculated such that the minimum input voltage of the ONT used
in the configuration is less than or equal to the lowest battery voltage (just above battery cutoff) minus the
voltage drop of the cable.

Installing the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter
NOTE:
Prior to powering the converter, verify that the NIU/NID is properly grounded and connected to either the
12V Lead (pin 2) of the battery module, pin 3 of the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Convertor or pin 1 of the Home
Converter. The FlexPoint AX does not make contact with Earth Ground through the meter socket; Earth Ground is
provided by connection to the NIU/NID. Prior to connection to the NIU/NID Earth Ground, the FlexPoint AX output
floats and may have enough leakage current to cause any one of the output leads to measure high voltage with
reference to Earth Ground. The energy represented by the high voltage does not represent a safety hazard, but
may cause a slight undesirable tingling sensation.
CAUTION!
Improperly connecting these wires will result in equipment damage or non-operation of the unit.
NOTE:
The converter can be installed at the same time as the Power-Ring, or at a later date. Refer to NOTE in Section 2
on wire size and distance.

The FlexPoint AX system sets an alarm during an AC line
outage or brownout and if the AC supply voltage is insufficient
to maintain battery charge. In order to prevent nuisance alarms
and consequent service disruptions, the FlexPoint AX system
monitors the battery status and sets the alarm when the battery is
discharging. Depending on load conditions, this may take a few
minutes. Conversely, the alarm is cleared when the battery again
receives consistent charge. Please note that this algorithm will also
indicate an alarm when AC is present, but the system is overloaded
to the point where the battery is required to supplement the power
supply to satisfy the load current requirement. If an AC fail alarm is
indicated despite a solid AC line voltage, check if the load is within
specification and if the lead lengths and wire sizes are per the table
in the installation instructions.

While the unit would not power the load properly, no damage would occur. The system will work properly once the connection is corrected.
2. What would happen if the positive and negative leads going to the batteries were reversed (i.e.,
pin 1 & 2 of the three pin connector on Home Converter or pin 2 and 3 on Safety Fuse PowerRing Converter)?
The design features “reversed battery” protection. Battery back up is not available but no damage will occur.
3. How long does it take to recharge a battery back to 90% charge after the unit reaches Low
Voltage Disconnect (LVD) value of 10.5V?
10-14 hours under typical load.
4. How long must a battery be charged via trickle charge to reach 100% capacity?
24hrs to 100% capacity.
5. Does this unit have temperature compensation in the design? If so, what is the Voltage Per Cell
(VPRC) voltage?
It does, at a rate of -3.3mV/cell/°C or –19.8mV/battery/C from 0°C to +40°C. Maximum charged voltage is 14.4V and minimum is 13.3V.
6. If I replace a battery when the replace battery LED is illuminated, why does the LED not go out?
Will the alarm reset itself?
30
When replacing a battery, it is necessary to wait approximately 20 seconds and allow the "Replace Battery" LED to change from steady to blinking. Once the LED blinks, the
fully-charged replacement battery can be connected. The LED will go out, indicating the alarm has been cleared, and the system will begin normal operation.

6.0 Frequently Asked Questions
7. If I replace a battery under a “no alarm” condition and the battery voltage was 12.6Vdc, and
an outage occurs and the battery voltage drops to less than 12.2Vdc, will this cause a “replace
battery” alarm, or will the unit try to recharge that battery until the next 40 day test?
No, the “replace battery” indicator will only be activated during the self test routine. Under normal operation, including power failure, the alarm is not activated. Under these conditions the unit will try to recharge the battery until the next self test.
8. Does the charger disconnect or “ramp back” when a replace battery alarm is illuminated? If not,
how does the unit prevent batteries from being cooked, which may cause a gas build up inside
the enclosure?
No. It will continue to charge the battery to the safe level per the battery manufacturer's specifications. The enclosure provides adequate venting and minimal volume to keep gas build-up from becoming a concern.
9. If I have a Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter (SFPC) reading of 11.8Vdc on the output, is this
unit considered bad? What should be the voltage measured at the output of the device with no
cable attached?
There is a high possibility that the voltage-controlled wire, between the battery unit and the
power supply, is not properly connected. Without the control wire, the power supply will only
put out a ~11.6V; 11.8V is pretty close to that voltage. If the connection is properly verified,
then the unit may have a defective voltage regulation circuitry.
10. What is the line load regulation of the SFPC?
Within the proper load, (no overload) the line load regulation of the PRC is excellent. It is very tightly regulated since it provides the float voltage to charge the battery.
11. Does this unit have a positive disconnect from the utility mains when operating under battery
conditions?
There is no physical disconnect from the main, and no chance for back-feed due to the High-
Frequency (HF) DC isolation transformer. Also, the unit is agency-qualified under stringent double insulation criteria for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage).
12. Does the green wire (control wire for the battery) have a readable voltage that means anything?
The functional voltage on the green wire could be any value between 0V to +4V, depending on the battery condition and load. Therefore, it is not a very useful troubleshooting tool.
