Battery Replacement Procedure

This procedure covers replacing the MB-10’s internal battery with a new replacement
battery.

1. Obtain a replacement battery. Adept part number: 04805-000 (see

Trim the leads to 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 in.).

2. Turn off the 24 VDC power to the SmartController and turn off the AC power

switch on the PDU3.

3. At the PDU3, unplug the AC cable between the MB-10 and the PDU3.

4. Remove the cover from the MB-10 T-bracket and unplug all the cables from the

MB-10.

5. Remove the MB-10 amplifier from the T-bracket by loosening the four screws at

the corners of the MB-10. Carefully lift the MB-10 away from the bracket and set it
down on its heatsink fins, with the electronics facing upwards.

If an external battery is used for encoder backup, the MB-10 will function normally
even if the internal battery is exhausted. The only effect will be a loss of the time/date
stamp used for the internal error-logging function.
