Thank you for purchasing an Oriental Motor product.
This Operating Manual describes product handling procedures and
safety precautions.
• Please read it thoroughly to ensure safe operation.
• Always keep the manual where it is readily available.
• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the
presence of flammable gases, locations subjected to splashing water, or
near combustibles. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Only qualified and educated personnel should be allowed to perform
installation, connection, operation and inspection/troubleshooting of the
product. Handling by unqualified personnel may result in fire, electric
shock, injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections
when the power is on. Always turn the power off before carrying out these
operations. Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to equipment.
• Do not use a standard type product in vertical drive such as elevating
equipment. If the driver's protection function is activated, the motor will stop
and the moving part may drop, thereby causing injury or equipment damage.
• Do not use the brake mechanism of the motor with electromagnetic brake as
a safety brake. It is intended to hold the movable parts and motor position.
This caution is to avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment.
• When the driver's protection function is triggered, first remove the cause
and then clear the protection function. Continuing the operation without
removing the cause of the problem may cause malfunction of the motor and
driver, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
• Install the motor, gearhead and driver in an enclosure. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or injury.
• Keep the driver's input-power voltage within the specified range to avoid fire
or electric shock.
• For the power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on
its primary and secondary sides. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Securely connect the cables in accordance with the connection examples.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cable. Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock or damage to equipment.
• Do not machine or modify the motor cable or connection cable. Doing so
may result in fire, electric shock or damage to equipment.
• Be sure to observe the specified cable sizes. Use of unspecified cable sizes
may result in fire or electric shock.
• Observe the specified screw tightening torque when connecting terminals to
the connector. Failure to do so may result in fire or equipment damage.
• Use a motor, gearhead, and driver only in the specified combination. Failure
to do so may result in fire, electric shock or damage to equipment.
• When the electromagnetic brake motor is used in an application of vertical
drive such as elevating equipment, operate it after checking the condition of
a load sufficiently so that a load in excess of the rated torque is not applied
or a small value is not set in the torque limiting value. Failure to do so may
result in injury or damage to equipment.
• Always turn off the power before performing maintenance/inspection.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Do not touch the motor or driver when conducting the insulation resistance
measurement or dielectric strength test. Accidental contact may result in
electric shock.
• Regularly check the openings in the driver for accumulated dust.
Accumulated dust may cause fire.
• Do not disassemble or modify the motor, gearhead and driver. Doing so may
result in injury or damage to equipment. Refer all such internal inspections and
repairs to the branch or sales office from which you purchased the product.
• Do not use the motor, gearhead and driver beyond the specifications. Doing
so may result in electric shock, injury or damage to equipment.
• Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the driver, or fire,
electric shock or injury may result.
• Do not touch the motor, gearhead or driver while operating or immediately
after stopping. The surface of the motor, gearhead or driver may be hot and
cause a skin burn(s).
