Safety Precautions

This section describes important precautions that must be followed during storage, transportation, installation,
wiring, operation, maintenance, inspection, and disposal. Be sure to always observe these precautions thor-
oughly.
vi
• Never touch any rotating servomotor parts during operation.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.
• Before starting operation with a machine connected, make sure that an emergency stop can be
applied at any time.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury or damage to the equipment.
• Do not touch the SERVOPACK while power is supplied.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock.
• Do not touch the terminals soon after the power supply is turned OFF.
Residual voltage may cause electric shock.
• Follow the procedures and instructions provided in the manuals for the products being used in the
trial operation.
Failure to do so may result not only in faulty operation and damage to equipment, but also in personal injury.
• The multiturn limit value need not be changed except for special applications.
Changing it inappropriately or unintentionally can be dangerous.
• If the Multiturn Limit Disagreement alarm occurs, check the setting of parameter PnA48 in the SER-
VOPACK to be sure that it is correct.
If PnA48 is used when an incorrect value is set in the parameter PnA48, an incorrect value will be set in the
encoder. The alarm will disappear even if an incorrect value is set, but incorrect positions will be detected,
resulting in a dangerous situation where the machine will move to unexpected positions.
• Do not remove the cables or connectors from the SERVOPACK while the power is ON.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock.
• Do not damage, pull, exert excessive force on, or place heavy objects on the cables.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock, stopping operation of the product, or fire.
• Do not modify the product.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury, damage to the equipment, or fire.
• Provide appropriate braking devices on the machine side to ensure safety. The holding brake on a
servomotor with a brake is not a braking device for ensuring safety.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.
• Do not come close to the machine immediately after resetting an instantaneous power interruption
to avoid an unexpected restart. Take appropriate measures to ensure safety against an unexpected
restart.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury.
• Connect the ground terminal according to local electrical codes (100 Ω or less).
Improper grounding may result in electric shock or fire.
• Installation, disassembly, or repair must be performed only by authorized personnel.
Failure to observe this warning may result in electric shock or injury.
