3.4.3 Replacement of SMB batteryNoteThe battery low alert (38213 Battery charge low) is displayed when the batteryneeds to be replaced. The recommendation to avoid an unsynchronized robotis to keep the power to the controller turned on until the battery is to be replaced.For an SMB board with 3-pole battery contact (RMU101 3HAC044168-001 orRMU102 3HAC043904-001), the lifetime of a new battery is typically 36 months.For an SMB board with 2-pole battery contact, the typical lifetime of a new batteryis 36 months if the robot is powered off 2 days/week or 18 months if the robot ispowered off 16 h/day. The lifetime can be extended for longer production breakswith a battery shutdown service routine. See Operating manual - IRC5 withFlexPendant for instructions.WARNINGSee instructions for batteries, Safety risks during handling of batteries on page 38.Location of SMB battery unitThe SMB battery unit is located inside the robot base, as shown in the figure below.SMB connectionASMB battery RMUBSMB battery connectorCRequired equipmentNoteThere are two variants of SMB units and batteries. One with 2-pole battery contactand one with 3-pole battery contact. The battery with the 3-pole contact has alonger lifetime.It is important that the SMB unit uses the correct battery. Make sure to order thecorrect spare parts.
