Caution
[Installation]
Do not use the product under direct sunlight (UV rays), in a place exposed to dust, salt or iron
powder, in a humid place, or in an atmosphere of organic solvent, phosphate-ester machine oil, etc.
The product may lose its function over a short period of time, or exhibit a sudden drop in performance
or its service life may be signifi cantly reduced.
Do not use the product in an atmosphere of corrosive gases (sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid),
infl ammable gases or ignitable liquids. Rust may form and reduce the structural strength or the motor
may ignite or explode.
When using the product in any of the places specifi ed below, provide a suffi cient shield. Failure to do
so may result in malfunction.
1. Place where large current or high magnetic fi eld is present
2. Place where welding or other operations are performed that cause arc discharge
3. Place subject to electrostatic noise
4. Place with potential exposure to radiation
Install the main unit and controller in a place subject to as little dust as possible. Installing them in a
dusty place may result in malfunction.
Do not install the product in a place subject to large vibration or impact (4.9 m/s
2
or more). Doing so
may result in the malfunctioning of the product.
Provide an emergency-stop device in a readily accessible position so the device can be actuated
immediately upon occurrence of a dangerous situation during operation. Lack of such device in an
appropriate position may result in injury.
Provide suffi cient maintenance space when installing the product. Routine inspection and
maintenance cannot be performed without suffi cient space, which will eventually cause the
equipment to stop or the product to sustain damage.
Do not hold the moving parts of the product or its cables during installation. It may result in injury.
Always use IAI’s genuine cables for connection between the controller and the actuator. Also, use
IAI’s genuine products for the key component units such as the actuator, controller and teaching
pendant.
Before installing or adjusting the product or performing other operations to the product, display a
sign that reads, “WORK IN PROGRESS. DO NOT TURN ON POWER.” If the power is turned on
inadvertently, injury may result due to electric shock or sudden activation of an actuator.
