Low battery voltage

What does F248 mean?

The DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive has detected that the internal battery, which often maintains encoder absolute position data or retains parameters during power-off, has a critically low voltage. This condition risks losing critical configuration data or absolute position references upon power loss. It requires immediate attention to prevent data loss.

• The internal battery on the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS or an attached encoder is discharged or has reached the end of its service life.
• Poor contact or connection to the battery terminals.
• Charging circuit for the battery (if rechargeable) is faulty.
• Prolonged power-off periods without external power, draining the battery.
• Incorrect battery type or specification installed.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Locate the battery on the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive or the associated absolute encoder. Measure its voltage with a multimeter.

2. 2

   Replace the battery with a new, compatible battery of the correct type and specification.

3. 3

   Verify the battery connections are clean, tight, and correctly polarized.

4. 4

   If the battery is rechargeable, check the charging circuit functionality by measuring voltage at the battery terminals with the drive powered on.

5. 5

   After replacing the battery, re-home or re-reference any absolute encoders to restore their position data.
