Panasonic A4P Series Close the cover of the battery box, Reference, Cycles/day, Cycle/day

[Operation Setting]

4) Close the cover of the battery box.

Close the cover not to pinch the connector cable.

<Caution>

Use the following battery for absolute encoder.

Part No. : DV0P2990 (Lithium battery by Toshiba Battery Co., Ltd. ER6V, 3.6V 2000mAh)

<Cautions>
• Be absolutely sure to follow the precautions below since improper use of the battery can cause electrolyte to
leak from the battery, giving rise to trouble where the product may become corroded, and/or the battery itself
may rupture.
1)	Insert the battery with its “+” and “–” electrodes oriented correctly.
2)	Leaving a battery which has been used for a long period of time or a battery which is no longer usable sitting inside
	the product can cause electrolyte leakage and other trouble. For this reason, ensure that such a battery is replaced
	at an early date. (As a general guideline, it is recommended that the battery be replaced every two years.)
	• The electrolyte inside the battery is highly corrosive, and if it should leak out, it will not only corrode the	Operation Setting
	surrounding parts but also give rise to the danger of short-circuiting since it is electrically conductive. For
	this reason, ensure that the battery is replaced periodically.
3)	Do not disassemble the battery or throw it into a fire.
	• Do not disassemble the battery since fragments of the interior parts may fly into your eyes, which is
	extremely dangerous. It is also dangerous to throw a battery into a fire or apply heat to it as doing so may
	cause it to rupture.
4)	Do not cause the battery to be short-circuited. Under no circumstances must the battery tube be peeled off.
	• It is dangerous for metal items to make contact with the “+” and “–” electrodes of the battery since such
	objects may cause a high current to flow all at once, which will not only reduce the battery performance but
	also generate considerable heat, possibly leading to the rupture of the battery.
5)	This battery is not rechargeable. Under no circumstances must any attempt be made to recharge it.
• The disposal of used batteries after they have been replaced may be subject to restrictions imposed by local
governing authorities. In such cases, ensure that their disposal is in accordance with these restrictions.

<Reference>

Following example shows the life calculation of the back-up battery used in assumed robot operation. 2000[mAh] of battery capacity is used for calculation. Note that the following value is not a guaranteed value, but only represents a calculated value. The values below were calculated with only the current consumption fac- tored in.The calculations do not factor in electrolyte leakage and other forms of battery deterioration.

Life time may be shortened depending on ambient condition.

Annual consumption capacity = (10h x a + 0.0014h x b + 2h x c) x 2 x 313 days + 24h x c x 52 days = 297.8[mAh] ) Battery life = 2000[mAh]/297.8[mAh] = 6.7 (6.7159) [year]

2)1 cycle/day

(2nd cycle of the above 1) is for rest.

Annual consumption capacity = (10h x a + 0.0014h x b + 14h x c) x 313 days + 24h x c x 52 days = 640.6[mAh] ) Battery life = 2000[mAh]/630.6[mAh] = 3.1 (3.1715) [year]
