Thank you for purchasing an Oriental Motor product.
This Operating Manual describes product handling procedures and safety precautions.
y Please read it thoroughly to ensure safe operation.
y Always keep the manual where it is readily available.
General
y Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of
flammable gases, locations subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing
so may result in fire or injury.
y Assign qualified personnel to the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling,
inspecting, and troubleshooting the product. Failure to do so may result in fire, injury,
or damage to equipment.
y When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is
triggered), the motor will stop and lose its holding torque. Accordingly, provide
measures to hold the moving part in place in the event of an alarm. Failure to do so
may result in injury or damage to equipment.
y When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is
triggered), first remove the cause and then clear the protection function. Continuing
the operation without removing the cause of the problem may cause malfunction of
the motor and driver, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
y Install the driver inside an enclosure. Failure to do so may result in injury.
y When installing the driver, install it inside an enclosure so that it is out of the direct
reach of users. Be sure to ground if users can touch it. Failure to do so may result in
electric shock.
Connection
y Always keep the power supply voltage of the driver within the specified range. Failure
to do so may result in fire.
y For the driver power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its
primary and secondary sides. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
y Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram. Failure to do so may
result in fire.
y Do not forcibly bend, pull, or pinch the connection cable. Doing so may result in fire.
Operation
y Turn off the driver power supply in the event of a power failure. Otherwise, the
motor may suddenly start when the power is restored, causing injury or damage to
equipment.
y Do not turn the FREE input to ON while the motor is operating. The motor will stop
and lose its holding power. Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Repair, disassembly, and modification
y Do not disassemble or modify the driver. Doing so may result in injury. Refer all such
internal inspections and repairs to the Oriental Motor sales office from which you
purchased the product.
General
y Do not use the driver beyond its specifications. Doing so may result in injury or
damage to equipment.
y Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the driver. Failure to do so may
result in fire or injury.
y Do not touch the driver during operation or immediately after stopping. The surface is
hot and may cause a skin burn(s).
y Do not use other batteries than the accessory dedicated battery. Doing so may result
in injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
y Do not leave anything around the driver that would obstruct ventilation. Doing so
may result in damage to equipment.
