WARNING
• During startup or maintenance tasks, display a sign "WORK IN PROGRESS" on the programming box and
operation panel in order to prevent anyone other than the person for that task from mistakenly operating the
start or selector switch. If needed, take other measures such as locking the cover on the operation panel.
• Always connect the robot and robot controller in the correct combination. Using them in an incorrect
combination may cause fire or breakdown.
4. Install system
When configuring an automated system using a robot, hazardous situations are more likely to occur from the automated
system than the robot itself. So the system manufacturer should install the necessary safety measures required for the
individual system. The system manufacturer should provide a proper manual for safe, correct operation and servicing of
the system.
w
WARNING
To check the robot controller operating status, refer to this manual and to related manuals. Design and install the
system including the robot controller so that it will always work safely.

Installing a safety enclosure

Be sure to install a safety enclosure to keep anyone from entering within the movement range of the robot. The
safety enclosure will prevent the operator and other persons from coming in contact with moving parts of the
robot and suffering injury.
See "7.1 Movement range" in "Safety instructions" for details on the robot's movement range.
w
DANGER
Serious injury may result from contact with a moving robot.
• Keep outside of the robot safety enclosure during operation.
• Press the emergency stop button before entering the safety enclosure.
w
WARNING
• Install an interlock that triggers emergency stop when the door or gate of the safety enclosure is opened.
• The safety enclosure should be designed so that no one can enter inside except from the door or gate
equipped with an interlock device.
• Warning label 1 (See "3. Warning labels" in "Safety instructions") that comes supplied with a robot should be
affixed to an easy-to-see location on the door or gate of the safety enclosure.
