3.6 Connecting the Cables

■ To shut off power to the robot system, disconnect the power plug from the power
source. Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle.
DO NOT connect it directly to a factory power source.
■ Before performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the Controller and
related equipment, and then disconnect the power plug from the power source.
Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely hazardous
and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
■ Be sure to connect the cables properly. Do not allow unnecessary strain on the
cables. (Do not put heavy objects on the cables. Do not bend or pull the cables
WARNING
forcibly.) The unnecessary strain on the cables may result in damage to the
cables, disconnection, and/or contact failure. Damaged cables, disconnection, or
contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or
improper function of the robot system.
■ Grounding the manipulator is done by connecting with the controller. Ensure that
the controller is grounded and the cables are correctly connected. If the ground
wire is improperly connected to ground, it may result in the fire or electric shock.
■ When connecting the Manipulator to the Controller, make sure that the serial
numbers on each equipment match.
Manipulator and Controller may not only cause improper function of the robot
system but also serious safety problems. The connection method varies with the
Controller used. For details on the connection, refer to the Controller manual.
CAUTION
If the G series Manipulator is connected to the Controller for the 6-axis robot, it
may result in malfunction of the Manipulator.
When the Manipulator is a Cleanroom-model, be aware of the followings.
For the Manipulator of Cleanroom-model, use it with an exhaust system.
For details, refer to Setup & Operation: 2.4 Specifications.
■ When operating the Manipulator under special environmental conditions (adverse
conditions with dust and oily smoke), do not place the controller in the same
condition since the controller does not comply with IP54 / IP65. Doing so may
CAUTION
cause equipment damage to and/or malfunction of the controller.
