• Ground the arm to an industrial grounding rod. If a grounding rod is not
available, use a utility ground.
• Ideally, grounding points should be equipotential.
Environment
Indoor Use
Install the robot indoors only.
Temperature
Maintain the air temperature between 50° F [10°C] and 104°F [40°C].
• Do not install the robot near heating or cooling units.
• Do not expose the robot to temperatures below 50° F [10°C] or above 104° F
[40°C] without a CRS-certified protective cover. Use a protective cover if
temperatures fall above or below this range.
Humidity
Maintain the relative humidity below 50%, non-condensing.
Corrosive Fumes
Do not expose the robot to an environment of corrosive fumes without a CRS-
certified protective cover.
Contamination
Use a protective cover to protect the arm from contaminated environments.
• Protecting the arm and controller from contaminants will lead to extended use.
Note: Purge the air in the controlled covers at regular intervals.
Robot Handling
The robot is a precision instrument and must be handled with care.
Moving
Grasp the robot under the cast aluminum base and under one of the machined
aluminum arm links.
• Do not grasp the robot under the thin ABS-plastic motor covers on the back or
sides, or under the wrist or gripper.
• Do not drop the robot.
