Chapter 5: Maintenance

NOTE: The previous battery, P/N 02704-000, has been superseded by this battery
pack. The battery replacement interval and procedure have not changed.

If you need to disconnect the inner link from the robot base (for service, for example), you can
preserve the Joint 2 motor encoder information by installing a backup battery in the inner link
(see Installing an Encoder Battery in the Inner Link on page 73).

Battery Replacement Time Periods

If the robot is kept in storage and not in production, or the robot is turned off (no 24 VDC
supply) most of the time, then the battery should be replaced every 5 years.

If the robot is turned on with 24 VDC supplied to the robot more than half the time, then you
can increase the replacement interval to a maximum of 10 years.

NOTE: Dispose of the battery according to all local and national environmental
regulations regarding electronic components.

Battery Replacement Procedure

1. Obtain the replacement battery pack.

2. Switch off the SmartController.

3. Switch off the 24 VDC input supply to the robot.

4. Switch off the 200/240 VAC input supply to the robot.

5. Disconnect the 24 VDC supply cable from the robot +24 VDC input connector—see

Figure 2-5 for locations of the connectors.

6. Disconnect the 200/240 VAC supply cable from the robot AC input connector.

7. Using a 5 mm hex key, carefully unscrew the AIB or eAIB chassis securing screw—see

Figure 5-2. Note that the screw does not need to be completely removed in order to
remove the chassis, as this screw is captured on the chassis heat sink.

8. While holding the chassis heat sink, carefully hang the chassis on the support bolt on

the side of the robot chassis (see Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5), so there is access to the
battery. See the following figure for the location of the battery pack.
