8.4 Maintenance
The Servomotor and amplifier do not require any special inspection. To ensure optimum performance over
their lifetimes, however, the user is expected to implement a reasonable level of inspection and
maintenance, paying attention to the following points .

Check external terminals
and CN1, 2, A, B, C and
D connectors for
looseness.

○ Battery voltage Check if the battery
voltage is 3.6 VDC or
above.
If not, replace the
battery.

As needed ○ Temperature Check ambient
temperature and motor
frame temperature.
Ambient temperature
must be within the
specification. Check
the load condition
operating pattern and
conduct necessary
correction.
1 Performing of megger test of the Servo Amplifier may damage the amplifier.
2 We recommend that you conduct a continuity check using the tester.
3 Do not remove the cover from the detector of the Servomotor.
4 Do not overhaul the Servo Amplifier and the Servomotor.
1 Prior to cleaning, make sure that the air does not contain water or oil.
2 This check/replacement interval is when a water-proof or oil-proof function is required.
3 Users are requested to constantly monitor the battery voltage.
Be advised that that estimated life of our recommended battery (Toshiba lithium battery
ER6V: 3.6V, 2000 mAh) is about 6 years.
