Keypad Battery Low Voltage
Yaskawa · V1000
What does bAT mean?
The keypad battery voltage has fallen below the acceptable threshold, indicating a low power state. If left unaddressed, this can lead to loss of real-time clock functionality or stored parameter values on the keypad. It is a precursor to complete battery failure.
Common Causes
- The keypad's internal battery has reached its end of life and can no longer hold sufficient charge.
- Extended periods of the drive being powered off, causing the battery to drain without recharge (if applicable).
- A defect in the keypad's battery charging circuit, preventing proper recharging.
- Incorrect battery type installed (if user-replaceable), leading to rapid discharge or incompatibility.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Locate the battery compartment on the keypad (often on the rear) and carefully open it.
- 2
Replace the old battery with a new, compatible type (e.g., CR2032 lithium coin cell) as specified by the manual.
- 3
After battery replacement, navigate to the keypad's time and date settings and reset the real-time clock.
- 4
Verify the keypad's diagnostic menu (if available) shows the battery voltage as acceptable.
- 5
Ensure the keypad is properly seated and connected to the drive to allow any charging functionality to operate.
