OPER./MAINTE → F4/SYSTEM → 2 5 (SYSTEM TABLE) → INPUT
When initially starting up the system, press F5/SYSTEM CLR to initialize the system.
When this is done, the basic RAM capacity and extended RAM capacity are automaticlly set.
Pressing F3/TABLE brings the cursor into the table. In accordance with the names versus
capacities table provided on the next page, set the table names and capacities, using
[Cursor] and [Alphanumeral] plus the INPUT key.
1 - 25
(Note 1)The numbers 01 through 15 are the tables for the basic RAM, and 16 through
20 are those for the extended RAM. When the extended RAM capacity is 0
(zero), do not set for the numbers 16 through 20.
(Note 2)Set the capacity in an increment of 100, suffixing a numeral with “H” (indicates
hexadecimal)
(Note 3)If the capacity is entered, the offset for the next table will be automatically set.
Different from the S-III, however, the last table capacity is not adjusted. Set a
dummy table before the last table capacity so that it will be of specified
capacity.
(Note 4)The table number 01 has a fixed table name, “SYSTEM,” and capacity,
“1000H.” For the other tables, you can set any table names in any places.
(Note 5)A standard set value varies from one model to another. When actually setting
it, follow the materials for each model.
(Note 6)When the system table is changed, be sure to turn off and on the power to
make sure that “790 System Table Error” does not occur, and then, start

5. DAILY MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5.1 Replacing the Battery
[WARNING]
Turn on the power for the machine (CNC), press the EMERGENCY STOP switch, and
then, replace the battery. Since this work is carried out with the cabinet left open in the
power-on state, only personnel who has been trained on maintenance and safety
should do it.
When opening the cabinet to replace the battery, do not touch a high-voltage circuit. If
the cover is not in place and you touch there, you will get an electric shock.
5.1.1 CNC Memory Backup Battery
The CNC is provided with batteries for retaining memory to store programs, offset
volumes, parameters, etc. When battery voltage has lowered, “794 BATTERY
ALARM” warning is displayed. On appearance of the warning, change batteries as
soon as possible. Try not to turn off the CNC unit as much as possible until the battery
is replaces.
① Turn on the power for the machine (CNC). (Note)
② Remove a battery case located on the front panel of the power unit. Hold down
the top of the case and pull it to your side to remove it.
③ Disconnect a connector attached to the battery.
④ Replace the battery and put back the connector.
⑤ Reattach the battery case.
⑥ Turn off the power for the machine (CNC).

3. TROUBLESHOOTING
When a trouble occurred, check “what you were operating when it occurred,” “what it is like,”
and “how often it happens.”
3.1 T racking through the ALARM Screen
When an alarm occurs during operation, an alarm message is displayed at the top of the
screen. Depending on the alarm, its details are displayed in the Diagnosis screen. If this
is the case, operate as follows to confirm what is displayed in the Diagnosis screen.
[Diagnosis Screen Display Operation]
With the NC Overall screen displayed, operate as follows to display the Diagnosis
screen.
2 (F_SYSTEM) INPUT → F7 DGNOS
Enter the diagnosis number you want to refer to and press
F6/NO. SRH . The data for that diagnosis number is displayed.
(It is also possible to change with the page key.)
(Note 1) When [F SYSTEM] is selected in the above-mentioned operation
sequence, but [DIAGNOSE] is not displayed at F7, press (RETURN)
several times.
(Note 2) To return from the Diagnosis screen, press ALTER , not (RETURN).

not set to the numbers 16 through 20.
(Note 2) Set the capacity in an increment of 100, suffixing a number with “H” (indicates
hexadecimal).
(Note 3) If the capacity is entered, the offset for the next table will be automatically set.
Unlike the S-III, the last table capacity is not adjusted. Set a dummy table
before the last table capacity so that it will be the prescribed capacity.
(Note 4) The table number has a fixed table name of “SYSTEM” and capacity of
“10000H.” For the other tables, you can set any table names in any places.
(Note 5) A standard set value varies from one model to anther. When actually setting it,
follow the materials for each model.
(Note 6) When the system table is changed, be sure to turn off and on the power to
make sure that “790 System Table Error” does not occur, and then, operate the
