3.4.1. Changing the Battery in the Measuring System
General
The robot is delivered with a 3-cell lithium battery. The lithium battery of primary type, needs
no charging. For this reason there is a blocking diode, which prevents charging from the serial
measurement board. The battery to be replaced is located under the top cover.
The battery is used as a back-up when the robot system is switched off. The life of a lithium
battery varies from 12 - 36 months depending on how frequently the power to the system is
switched off and also if the environment temperature is higher than recommended operating
temperature.
An alert is given on the TPU when the battery is nearly discharged and must then be replaced
within a month.
DANGER!
Turn off all electrical power, hydraulic and pneumatic pressure supplies to the robot!
Also read the safety sections:
• Safety risks related to pneumatic/hydraulic systems on page 18
• Risks associated with live electric parts on page 20
• Safety risks during installation and service work on robot on page 15
NOTE!
Used batteries must never be thrown away! They must be handled as hazardous waste!
NOTE!
This action demands an update of the revolution counters.
