8.20.1  About Encoder Back-up Error Recovery Function
A motor of the robot, the travel axis or the rotation station which is 
controlled by the controller is connected with the back-up buttery in order 
to keep the position information even though the control power is 
disconnected. This buttery consumes buttery power through time, and the 
alarm “4312 ENCODER BATTERY ERROR” occurs when the voltage 
becomes lower than 2.8V. If the battery is not replaced and keep 
consuming more battery power, it will cause the lost of the position 
information. In addition, the alarm “4311 ENCODER BACK-UP ERROR” 
occurs. Meanwhile, there would be a gap between the manipulator 
position and the position of the absolute encoder. 
This function allows to recover the absolute data by moving the axis 
operation to the home position from the position information where the 
axis is lost. 
8.20.2  Encoder Back-up Error Recovery Function Operation
1. Press {SELECT}. 
– When select the “RESET” in the alarm display, the alarm is reset. 
The manipulator can be move by the axis operation key. 
2. Adjust the alarm occurring axis to the home position mark of the each
