Maintenance and inspection procedures 5-74
(1) Replacing the robot arm battery
Don't disconnect connector, etc. While replacing the battery, the encoder position
data is saved by the power supplied from the controller. Thus, if the cable
connection is incomplete, the encoder position data will be lost when the controller
power is turned OFF. Several batteries are used in the robot arm, but replace all old
batteries with new batteries at the same time.
