(6) Maintenance, inspection and part replacement
CAUTION
Periodically back up the programs, tool data and parameters to avoid potential data loss. Also, back
up those data before maintenance and inspections.
When replacing the battery on the controller side, the machining programs, tool data and parameters
should be backed up with the input/output device beforehand.
In case the memory is damaged in replacing the batteries, reload all the data backed up before
replacing the battery.
The electrolytic capacitor’s capacity will drop due to deterioration. To prevent secondary damage
due to capacitor’s faults, Mitsubishi recommends the electrolytic capacitor to be replaced approx.
every five years even when used in a normal environment. Contact the Service Center or Service
Station for replacements.
Do not perform a megger test (insulation resistance measurement) during inspection.
Do not replace parts or devices while the power is ON.
Do not short-circuit, charge, overheat, incinerate or disassemble the battery.
The hard disk unit has a service life, and must be replaced before its expiration.
As a precautionary measure, always back up the customer’s data stored in the hard disk unit. The
safety of the customer’s data stored in the hard disk unit cannot be guaranteed.
There may be a unit filled with substitute Freon in the heat radiating fins of the 37kW or smaller unit.
Be careful not to break the heat radiating fins during maintenance or replacement.
