To use the equipment correctly, do not attempt to install, operate, maintain, or inspect the equipment until you have read through this Instruction Manual, Installation guide, and appended documents carefully. Do not use the equipment until you have a full knowledge of the equipment, safety information and instructions.
  • Page 3 1. To prevent electric shock, note the following WARNING Before wiring or inspection, turn off the power and wait for 15 minutes or more until the charge lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage between P+ and N- is safe with a voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.
  • Page 4 3. To prevent injury, note the following CAUTION Only the voltage specified in the Instruction Manual should be applied to each terminal. Otherwise, a burst, damage, etc. may occur. Connect cables to the correct terminals. Otherwise, a burst, damage, etc. may occur. Ensure that polarity (+/-) is correct.
  • Page 5 CAUTION When fumigants that contain halogen materials such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are used for disinfecting and protecting wooden packaging from insects, they cause malfunction when entering our products. Please take necessary precautions to ensure that remaining materials from fumigant do not enter our products, or treat packaging with methods other than fumigation (heat method).
  • Page 6 (3) Test run and adjustment CAUTION Before operation, check the parameter settings. Improper settings may cause some machines to operate unexpectedly. Never make a drastic adjustment or change to the parameter values as doing so will make the operation unstable. Do not get close to moving parts during the servo-on status.
