Precautions for Safe Use

Precautions for Safe Use
• The Joint 3 quill and the tool flange are not grounded to protective earth. If hazardous voltages are
present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or tooling, you must install a ground connec-
tion from that equipment or tooling to the ground point on the robot base.
Refer to 3-9-1 Grounding the System on page 3-28 for more information about grounding the Tool
Flange.
• This equipment must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, within the
range –25 to +55°C. The recommended humidity range is 5 to 90%, non-condensing. It should be
shipped and stored in the supplied packaging, which is designed to prevent damage from normal
shock and vibration.
• Output 8 can be assigned to indicate the robot's High Power state. When High Power is enabled,
this output will turn ON. When High Power is not enabled, this output will be OFF. This is not a safe-
ty-rated means of indicating a High Power state and should only be used for monitoring the robot
status. Use the ACE software to make this configuration if needed.
• Do not apply 48 VDC power until all installation steps are complete and verified and all safety meas-
ures are in place.
• High power cannot be enabled unless all safety circuits are satisfied.
• The LED indicator does not reflect the robot's High Power status. To see the robot's High Power sta-
tus, use the Front Panel indicator or a user-supplied indicator connected to the XFP connector.
• The braking mechanism operates passively. If 24 VDC Control Power is removed from the system,
the brake mechanism will automatically activate. 24 VDC Control Power must be supplied to release
the brake. To prevent possible damage to the equipment, remove any payload from the end-of-arm
tooling, make sure that Joint 3 is supported while releasing the brake, and verify that the end-of-arm
tooling or other installed equipment is clear of all obstructions.
• To comply with ISO 10218-1 when using a remote brake release button, ensure the brake release
button displays a warning label to indicate that the z-axis of the robot may fall due to gravity if the
brake is released.
• The High Power indicator must be operational to satisfy safety requirements.
• You can contribute to resource conservation and protecting the environment by the proper disposal
of WEEE (Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment). All electrical and electronic products should
be disposed of separately from the municipal waste system with designated collection facilities. For
information about disposal of your old equipment, contact your local Omron representative.
• The product contains lithium batteries with a perchlorate content of 6ppb or higher. When exporting
an end product containing the product to or shipping through California, USA, label all packing and
shipping containers appropriately. Special handling may apply. Refer to https://dtsc.ca.gov for more
information.
• Dispose of any battery that has been dropped or otherwise subjected to excessive shock. Batteries
that have been subjected to shock may leak if they are used.
• Batteries may leak, rupture, heat, or ignite. Never short-circuit, charge, disassemble, heat, or incin-
erate a battery or subject it to strong shock.
