<Battery Replacement>
To replace the system-memory backup battery, open the panel window on the front side of the controller
and replace the coin-type battery in the battery holder.
It is recommended that the battery be replaced regularly in accordance with the power-on
frequency/duration of the controller.
The battery must be replaced as soon as the controller’s battery voltage monitor function generates a
battery voltage low alarm.
After an alarm is detected, a battery error will occur in approx. 10 days at a surrounding air temperature of
20C if the power is supplied to the controller continuously. Once a battery error occurs, the data will be
physically lost in approx. four days.
If the controller is not operated, the above periods should be reduced to 80% at 20C or to 25% at 40C.
The controller is designed so that the data will not be lost for at least 30 minutes without a battery if the
controller is not detecting a battery error. Keep in mind to complete the battery replacement—taking out
the current battery from the battery holder and placing a new battery in the holder—within 30 minutes.
To prevent the risk of data loss, you can use the PC software to evacuate the data in the SRAM to the
flash ROM and then reload the flash ROM data to the SRAM after a new battery is installed.
The battery specifications are shown in the table below.
