General precautions F-RAT-NX75 Technical document 3. Safety precautions 3-1. CAUTION General precautions Stop operation when abnormal sound is heard during operation. Failure to follow this could result in unexpected accidents. Do not use in a way exceeding the range of the product specifications. Failure to follow this could result in malfunction, fire, and/or injury. Turn off the power supply to the product before moving and/or installing the product, and performing maintenance and inspection (excluding those during operation). Working while the power is on could result in accidents due to unexpected operation. Observe the safety regulations required for installation locations, and/or products in use. Securely wire each cable to connection parts. Improper wiring could result in electric shock and/or malfunction. Do not turn on/off relays and/or contactors near power cables, signal cables, and/or driver cards. Failure to follow this could result in malfunction due to noise generation. LED or Pull-up/Pull-down circuits implemented in the output circuit of control devices could result in unexpected operation. Carefully check the output circuit. Turn on the power of upstream power supplies before turning the product on. Turn off the product before turning the power supplies off. Turning on/off the power in the wrong order could result in malfunction. Do not unplug power and/or signal cables during operation. Also, do not run/stop this product by the power supply. (Use the signal.) Failure to follow this could result in malfunction. Do not forcibly rotate the MDR at times other than maintenance and inspection. Failure to follow this could result in damage to driver cards, and/or their lifetime to be significantly shortened.
Precautions on installation F-RAT-NX75 Technical document 3. Safety precautions 3-1. CAUTION General precautions Do not turn on the power when trays are unstable. Failure to follow this could result in injury, accidents, and/or damage due to load collapse. Make sure to perform the start-up inspection, and check that devices are free from any abnormalities, and that safety equipment functions correctly before using the product. When disposing of the product, make consigning contracts with licensed industrial waste disposers, and consign the disposal to them. 3-2. WARNING Precautions on installation In principle, have two or more persons work when carrying and/or installing the product as it is a heavy load. To carry the module with Block and tackle please see page 74 for more information. When hoisting this product, never enter the area under the suspended load. When hoisting, use appropriate hoisting equipment, and pay special attention to prevent the balance of the suspended load from being lost and/or falling.
Precautions on wiring F-RAT-NX75 Technical document 3. Safety precautions 3-2. CAUTION Precautions on installation Take appropriate measures to prevent trays from popping out of the equipment. For example, mount guide rails on the conveyor frames. Failure to follow this could result in workers getting injured by trays popping out of the equipment.
Precautions related to operation F-RAT-NX75 Technical document 3. Safety precautions 3-5. CAUTION Precautions related to operation Do not forcibly move trays when they are placed on the carrier wheels. Failure to follow this could result in damage and/or malfunction. Make sure to perform the start-up inspection before starting operation. At the start-up inspection, wear protective equipment, such as gloves. Failure to follow this could result in hands getting injured by metal parts. At the start-up inspection, shut off the power, and perform inspection. (excluding inspection to be performed when operating this product.) Failure to follow this could result in injury due to unexpected operation, such as getting caught and/or stuck. When operating this product at the start-up inspection, take appropriate measures to prevent fingers from getting stuck and/or caught in carrier wheels and/or rollers. Also, get ready to shut off the power in the event that something should happen. Failure to follow this could result in accidents/injury by getting caught and/or stuck. If any abnormalities are found at the start-up inspection, make sure to take countermeasures before the trial run. Failure to follow this could result in damage and/or malfunction. 3-6. CAUTION Precautions on maintenance and If any abnormalities are found, do not use this product until the ...
