Maintenance 6. Alarm

6. Alarm

When the batteries (lithium batteries) for the controller and the manipulator drain, an
alarm warning voltage reduction occurs. However, the alarm does not guarantee the
battery lives until replacement, and it is necessary to replace the batteries immediately. If
you run out the batteries, the robot parameters will be lost and recalibration of the robot
will be required.
In addition, the parts for the manipulator joints may cause accuracy decline or malfunction
due to deterioration of the parts resulting from long term use. If the robot breaks down
due to deterioration of the parts, it will take significant time and cost for repair.
The following sections describe the alarm function which announces the following
maintenance timings in order to perform maintenance well ahead of time before the
warning error.
The maintenance timings to be announced differ depending on the Controller firmware
version.
Refer to the section according to the firmware version of your Controller.
