3. Setup and Installation
The XBAT Emergency Battery Kit is intended for integration into existing gate automation systems. Professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended to ensure correct wiring and optimal performance.
General Installation Steps:
- Power Disconnection: Ensure the main power supply to the gate automation system is completely disconnected.
- Mounting: Securely mount the battery kit in a dry, protected location near the gate control unit, away from direct weather exposure.
- Wiring: Connect the battery kit to the designated emergency power input terminals on your gate control unit. Refer to your gate system's manual for specific wiring diagrams. Pay close attention to positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
- Initial Charge: Once connected, restore main power to the gate system. The battery kit will begin charging automatically. Allow sufficient time for a full initial charge before relying on the emergency power function.

4. Operating Principles
The XBAT Emergency Battery Kit operates automatically. When main power is available, the kit charges its internal battery. In the event of a power failure, the system will automatically switch to battery power, allowing the gate to continue functioning for a limited number of cycles or duration, depending on the system's power consumption and battery charge level.
Remote Control Programming (Example):
While this battery kit provides power, the operation of your gate system often involves remote controls. The following video demonstrates a typical remote control programming process, which is essential for configuring devices within a gate automation system.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your emergency battery kit.
- Periodic Checks: Annually inspect all connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the battery kit is free from dust and debris.
- Battery Health: Periodically test the emergency function by temporarily disconnecting main power to the gate system to confirm the battery takes over.
- Battery Replacement: Batteries have a finite lifespan. If the battery no longer holds a charge or provides sufficient backup power, it should be replaced with an original FAAC 390923 XBAT replacement battery.
