Replacing the Encoder Battery

The data stored by the encoders is protected by a 3.6 V lithium backup battery located in
the base of the robot.

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 8 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 15 years. If, for example, a robot is typically
turned off only on weekends, the battery would need to be replaced every 15 years.

Battery Replacement Procedure

1. Obtain the replacement battery.

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 4-2 on page 53

for locations of connectors.

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

7. Using a 5 mm Allen key, carefully unscrew the AIB chassis securing screw. See

Figure 8-1 on page 102

. Note that the screw does not need to be completely

removed in order to remove the chassis, as the screw is captured on the chassis
heat sink.

8. Carefully and slowly lift the chassis up off the robot base (see

Figure 8-2 on page

102

), so there is access to the battery.

9. The battery cable assembly has two sets of connectors. Locate the secondary

(unused) battery cable in the wire bundle in the base area.

CAUTION:

Replace the battery only with 3.6 V, 8.5 Ah

lithium battery, Adept part number: 02704-000.
