5.3.1 Replacing the Battery
(1) Replacing the CPU module battery
M9006 or M9007 turns ON if the voltage drops from the A6BAT battery which backs
up programs and provides memory back-up functions. Program and memory
contents are not lost immediately when these special relays turn ON, but memory
contents may be lost if this special realy status is overlooked.
After M9006 or M9007 turns ON, replace the battery within the total power-
interruption time shown in Table 5.4 below.
This section gives replacement guidelines and describes the replacement method.
(a) Battery life
An alarm occurs and the error message "BATTERY ERROR" is displayed when
the battery life has almost expired.
Replace the battery when this alarm occurs. The battery life is approximately 1
year under normal operating conditions at an ambient temperature of 25
C
.
The battery life is shown in Table 5.4.

Preventative Maintenance Guidelines
1) Replace battery every year, even if total power-interruption time is less than the value in
the table.
2) Replace the battery if the total power-interruption time exceeds the guaranteed time
shown in the table and M9006 is ON.
