Replacing Encoder Battery

The data stored by the encoders is protected by a 3.6 V lithium backup battery located in
the base of the robot.
NOTE: The previous battery, P/N 02704-000, has been superceded by this
battery pack. The battery replacement interval and procedure have not
changed.

Battery Replacement Time Periods

If the robot is kept in storage and not in production, or the robot is turned off (no 24 VDC
supply) most of the time, then the battery should be replaced every 5 years.
If the robot is turned on with 24 VDC supplied to the robot more than half the time, then
you can increase the replacement interval to a maximum of 10 years.
NOTE: Dispose of the battery according to all local and national
environmental regulations regarding electronic components.
