WARNING
2 Absolute pulse coder battery replacement
When replacing the memory backup batteries,
keep the power to the machine (CNC) turned on,
and apply an emergency stop to the machine.
Because this work is performed with the power on
and the cabinet open, only those personnel who
have received approved safety and maintenance
training may perform this work.
When replacing the batteries, be careful not to
touch the high-voltage circuits (marked
and
fitted with an insulating cover).
Touching the uncovered high-voltage circuits
presents an extremely dangerous electric shock
hazard.
NOTE
The absolute pulse coder uses batteries to
preserve its absolute position.
If the battery voltage drops, a low battery voltage
alarm is displayed on the machine operator's panel
or screen.
When a low battery voltage alarm is displayed,
replace the batteries within a week. Otherwise, the
absolute position data held by the pulse coder will
be lost.
Refer to the FANUC SERVO MOTOR αi series
Maintenance Manual for details of the battery
replacement procedure.
