Sends IR function 28 (if available) or 9 to turn device power off. After three attempts, if
the linked I/O channel still detects a power-on status, the controller starts processing
stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 28 or 9 fails to turn the external
device's power off, the controller sends a PUSH and RELEASE of channel 248 and
generates a power failure error. If the device is turned on manually, this command turns
the external device's power off unless a PON (power on) or POD (disable POF) com-
mand is received. Refer to the SET IO LINK command.
PON Syntax:
’PON’
Sends IR function 27 (if available) or 9 to turn device power on. After three attempts, if
the linked I/O channel still detects a power-off status, the controller starts processing
stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 27 or 9 fails to turn the external
device's power on, the controller sends a PUSH and RELEASE of channel 248 and
generates a power failure error. If the device is turned off manually, this command turns
external device power on unless a POF (power off) or POD (disable 'PON' command)
command is received.

 Replacing the Lithium Batteries

Replacing the Lithium Batteries

There are two lithium batteries on the controller’s circuit card with a life of approximately five
years. They protect stored commands against power loss. The batteries are not used when DC
power is supplied to the controller. You should write down the replacement date on a sticker or label
by adding five years to the date of installation, and then attach it to the rear panel for future
reference.

Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before removing the touch panel
circuit card from the enclosure, discharge any accumulated static electricity from your
body and flat-blade tool by touching a grounded metal object.

Contact your dealer before you replace the lithium batteries and verify they have a current copy of
the software program stored in the controller. This will avoid any inadvertent loss of data or a
service outage. To remove the controller’s top panel, you will need a Phillips screwdriver.
You need non-conducting pliers to remove the lithium batteries from the controller.
1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.
2. Disconnect all power and data cables from the controller.
3. Hold the controller in place, and remove the mounting hardware from the equipment rack.
Then, carefully remove the controller from the rack and place it on a flat surface.
4. Remove the six Phillips-head screws from the top panel on the controller. Then, remove the
screws from the left and right side of the Axcent3 and Axcent3 Pro controller as shown in
FIG. 11.

6. Carefully push the lithium battery, located in position B2, out of its socket, and remove with
non-conduction pliers. With the rear of the unit facing you, insert the new battery with the
positive (+) polarity side facing left.

Do not use any type of conductive tools to remove the battery. Doing so will damage
the battery.

7. Plug the AXlink and power connectors back into the AXLINK/PWR connectors on the
controller. Then, remove the connectors again. Be sure to write down the next replacement date
on a sticker or label by adding five years to the replacement date, and then attach it to the back
panel of the controller.
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for the battery in position B1.
9. Place the top panel on the controller and align the screw holes. Insert the six Phillips-head
screws and tighten. Then, insert screws in the left and right side of the controller and tighten.
10. Place the controller in the equipment rack, and align the mounting holes. Then, install the
mounting hardware and tighten.
