12.4.3 Procedures for replacing battery
When the battery voltage drops while the PLC power is on, the "BAT" LED on the panel is lit in red, and
M8005 and M8006 (latch) are turned on.
The memory can be retained for about one month after the lamps turn on. However, the operators may not
immediately find the lamps to be on. Prepare a new battery promptly, and replace the battery with the new
one.
→
For details on the specifications and functions of the battery,
refer to Section 11.5 "FX
3U
-32BL (Battery)"

Cation
1) Battery replacement requires users to verify data integrity such as the PLC program (when a memory
cassette is not attached), latched (battery backed) device values and RTC values. Before switching the
PLC to RUN, ensure the safety of the operation.
2) If the battery backed data becomes unstable, clear the latched (battery backed) devices, and transfer the
data again. Set the RTC and default values again if necessary.
→
For the clear method of keeping devices, refer to the programming manual.
