Battery includes protection circuits. Replace it only with the specified spare part in the refitting instruction or with an ABB approved eqvivalent. Refitting The procedure below details how to refit the serial measurement unit and battery pack.
The resolver values are changed If resolver values are changed, the robot must be recalibrated using the calibration methods supplied by ABB. Calibrate the robot carefully with standard calibration. The different methods are briefly described in the section Calibration methods on page 196 , and further detailed in separate calibration manuals.

Calibration Pendulum - standard method Calibration Pendulum is the standard method for calibration of all ABB robots (except IRB 6400R, IRB 640, IRB 1400H, and IRB 4400S) and is also the most accurate method for the standard type of calibration. It is the recommended method in order to achieve proper performance.
