2. Using a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 4 screws, remove the cover from
the Unit, lifting it from the left.
3. Pull the battery from the holder and install the new one within five minutes.

4. Replace the cover, positioning it over the Unit and snapping it into place by
applying pressure to the area marked ”OMRON.”
5. Clear the ALARM on the Programming Console.

When two–wire sensors, such as photoelectric sensors and proximity sen-
sors, or limit switches with neon lamp are connected to the CPU as input de-
vices, the input signal may be erroneously turned ON by a leakage current
over 1.5 A. To prevent this, connect a bleeder resistor as shown below.
Determine the resistance of the bleeder resistor by the following equation,
where I is the leakage current.

Likewise, if there is a danger of leakage current causing a transistor or triac
to malfunction, connect a bleeder resistor as shown below. Determine the
resistance of the bleeder resistor by the following equation.
