4.3 Connecting the Backup Battery
After the configuration switches have been set, connect the backup battery to the backup battery connector.
4.4 Setting the Parameters
If the simple absolute R unit is installed later, the setting of a user parameter in the controller unit must be changed.
(If you have purchased your controller unit and simple absolute R unit together, this parameter has already been set at the
factory.)
User parameters are set using the PC software or teaching pendant.
Parameter to be changed: User parameter No. 83, “Absolute unit” [0: Do not use / 1: Use]
If the absolute unit is to be used, set this parameter to [1: Use].
