Epson RC700 Series Maintenance Manual

Maintenance 6. Alarm
RC700 Series Maintenance Rev.3 27
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.
