B.1 AFP-200
The APS2-6R is mounted behind the control panel in the AFP-200 backbox. See “In an AFP-200 Cabinet” on
page 11 for instructions on how to mount the APS2-6R in the backbox.
WARNING:
! Be sure to finish installation before applying power. Test AC power before continuing.
4. Cut the battery cable supplied with the AFP-200 into two pieces.
5. Connect the batteries to TB3 on the APS2-6R. Use wire nuts to attach one half of the battery cable to 18 AWG
wire.
6. Connect secondary power from TB3 on the APS2-6R to terminal block J3 (+ and -) on the AFP-200 using the
second piece of battery cable.
