Converting to battery power
For applications where an AC power source is not available, the mesh node can be converted to
a battery powered device.
To install an internal battery pack and batteries into an mesh node (see Figure 2-8):
1. Remove the four philips head screws securing the cover to the base, then remove the
cover.
2. Remove the AC adapter connector from SL1 and remove the AC adapter assembly.
3. Turn the Power Switch OFF.
4. Mount one of the battery packs included with the kit to the back cover of the mesh node
using the two mounting screws also included with the kit.
5. Observing polarity, install two AA batteries (not included in kit) into the battery pack.
6. Connect the battery pack to keyed connector SL1.
