Safety precautions • Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshooting the motorized linear slide. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, injury or damage to equipment. • Take measures to keep the moving parts in position for vertical operations such as elevator applications.
Page 6
Safety precautions • Do not use the motorized linear slide beyond its specifications. Doing so may result in electric shock, injury or damage to equipment. • Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the motorized linear slide. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
Precautions for use Precautions for use This chapter covers limitations and requirements the user should consider when using the product. General z Always use the supplied cable or accessory cable to connect the motorized linear slide and driver. In the following condition, an appropriate accessory cable must be purchased separately. •...
Page 8
Precautions for use Temperature z Use the motorized linear slide equipped with the AZ Series in conditions where the motor surface temperature will not exceed 80 °C (176 °F). The motor surface temperature may exceed 80 °C (176 °F) under certain conditions (ambient temperature, operating speed, duty cycle, etc.).
Page 9
Precautions for use z How to fix the cable Fix the cable at the positions near the connector so as to apply no stress on the connector part. Take measures so as to apply no stress on the connector by using wide clamps or by fixing at two places. In the case of the EAS2 type equipped with the AZ Series, fix both end of the cable covering part.
