Safety Precautions for Our Products The common safety precautions for the use of any of our robots in each operation. Also, read the Operation Manual for each of other products. Operation Precautions Description Model Selection This product has not been planned and designed for the application where high level of safety is required, so the guarantee of the protection of human life is impossible.
Page 11
Operation Precautions Description Installation and (1) Installation of Robot Main Body and Controller, etc. Startup Make sure to securely hold and fix the product (including the work). A fall, drop or abnormal motion of the product may cause a damage or injury.
Page 12
Operation Precautions Description Installation and (4) Safety Measures Startup When the product is under operation or in the ready mode, take the safety measures (such as the installation of safety and protective fence) so that nobody can enter the area within the robot’s movable range.

Operation Precautions Description Check Operation After the teaching or programming operation, perform the check operation one step by one step and then shift to the automatic operation. When the check operation is to be performed inside the safety protective fence, perform the check operation using the previously specified work procedure like the teaching operation.
Page 14
Alert Indication The safety precautions are divided into “DANGER”, “WARNING”, “CAUTION” “NOTICE” according to the warning level, as follows, and described in the Operation Manual for each model. This indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if the Danger product is not handled correctly, will result in death or serious Danger injury.
Precautions in Operation Pay attention to the following items. Danger [General] Do not use this product for the following applications: Medical equipment used to maintain, control or otherwise affect human life or physical health Mechanisms and machinery designed for the purpose of moving or transporting people Important safety parts of machinery This product has not been planned or designed for applications requiring high levels of safety.

Code Alarm Name Cause/Treatment Cause : (1) The temperature inside the controller is too high. (95°C or more) (2) When the actuator is vertically installed, in the case that the deceleration setting is too high when it is moved downward, the regenerative resistance energy might be insuffi cient. Overheat (3) The defective part inside the controller is considered.

Code Alarm Name Cause/Treatment A or B-phase Wire The encoder signal is not detected normally. Breakage Cause : A looseness or wire breakage in the connector section of the actuator connecting cable is considered. A -phase Wire Breakage Treatment : Check for the connection condition of the actuator connecting cable and perform the continuity test. B-phase Wire Breakage If normal, contact our company.
