2. INSTALLATION
(5) Tension
If tension is added on optical cable, the increase of transmission loss occurs because of external force
which concentrates on the fixing part of optical fiber or the connecting part of optical connector. Doing so
may cause the breakage of the optical fiber or damage of the optical connector. For cable laying, handle
without putting forced tension. For the tension strength, refer to section 11.1.3.
(6) Lateral pressure
If lateral pressure is added on optical cable, the optical cable itself distorts, internal optical fiber gets
stressed, and then transmission loss will increase. Doing so may cause the breakage of the optical
cable. As the same condition also occurs at cable laying, do not tighten up optical cable with a thing
such as nylon band (TY-RAP).
Do not trample it down or tuck it down with the door of cabinet or others.
(7) Twisting
If optical fiber is twisted, it will become the same stress added condition as when local lateral pressure or
bend is added. Consequently, transmission loss increases, and the breakage of optical fiber may occur.
(8) Disposal
When incinerating optical cable (cord) used for SSCNET III, hydrogen fluoride gas or hydrogen chloride
gas which is corrosive and harmful may be generated. For disposal of optical fiber, request for
specialized industrial waste disposal services who has incineration facility for disposing hydrogen
fluoride gas or hydrogen chloride gas.

2.5 Inspection items

WARNING
CAUTION
It is recommended that the following points periodically be checked.
(1) Check for loose terminal block screws. Retighten any loose screws.
(2) Check the cables and the like for scratches or cracks. Inspect them periodically according to operating
conditions especially when the servo motor is movable.
(3) Check that the connector is securely connected to the servo amplifier.
(4) Check that the wires are not coming out from the connector.
Before starting maintenance and/or inspection, turn off the power and wait for 15
minutes or more until the charge lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage
between P+ and N- is safe with a voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric
shock may occur. In addition, when confirming whether the charge lamp is off or
not, always confirm it from the front of the servo amplifier.
To avoid an electric shock, only qualified personnel should attempt inspections.
For repair and parts replacement, contact your local sales office.
Do not perform insulation resistance test on the servo amplifier. Otherwise, it may
cause a malfunction.
Do not disassemble and/or repair the equipment on customer side.
