COMPLIANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVES
1. WHAT ARE EC DIRECTIVES?
The EC Directives were issued to standardize the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth
distribution of safety-guaranteed products. In the EU countries, the Machinery Directive (effective in
January, 1995), EMC Directive (effective in January, 1996) and Low Voltage Directive (effective in
January, 1997) of the EC Directives require that products to be sold should meet their fundamental safety
requirements and carry the CE marks (CE marking). CE marking applies to machines and equipment
into which servo amplifiers have been installed.
(1) EMC Directive
The EMC Directive applies to a machine/equipment which incorporates the servo, not to the servo
alone. Hence, the EMC filter must be used to make this machine/equipment which incorporates the
servo comply with the EMC Directive. For specific methods to comply with the EMC Directive, refer to
the "EMC Installation Guidelines" (IB(NA)67310).
(2) Low Voltage Directive
The Low Voltage Directive applies also to the servo alone. Therefore, our servo is designed to comply
with the Low Voltage Directive.
This servo has been approved by TUV, third-party evaluation organization, which confirmed that it
complies with the Low Voltage Directive.
(3) Machinery Directive
Since the servo amplifiers are not machines, they need not comply with this directive.
2. PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE
Use the standard model of servo amplifier and the EN Standard-compliant model of HC-MF/HA-FF or the
standard model of HC-SF/HC-RF/HC-UF. In addition to the instructions provided in this Instruction
Manual, also follow the instructions below. If the model is not specifically described to comply with the
EN Standard in this Instruction Manual, it has the same specifications as those of the standard models:
(1) Servo amplifiers and servo motors used
Use the following models of servo amplifiers and servo motors:
Servo amplifier series: MR-J2-10C to MR-J2-350C
Servo motor series
(2) Structure
(3) Environment
Operate the servo amplifier at or above the contamination level 2 set forth in IEC60664-1. For this
purpose, install the servo amplifier in a control box which is protected against water, oil, carbon, dust,
dirt, etc. (IP54).
