The passwords for logging onto the KUKA System Software as “Expert”
and “Administrator” must be changed before start-up and must only be
communicated to authorized personnel.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb due to incorrectly assigned cables
The robot controller is preconfigured for the specific industrial robot. The
manipulator and other components can receive incorrect data if they are
connected to a different robot controller. Death, severe injuries or dam-
age to property may result.
• Only connect the manipulator to the corresponding robot controller.
Do not impair safety functions
Additional components (e.g. cables and hoses) not supplied by KUKA
may be integrated into the industrial robot. If the safety functions are not
taken into consideration, this may result in death, severe injuries or
damage to property.
• Additional components must not impair or disable safety functions.
NOTICE
Damage to property due to condensation
If the internal cabinet temperature of the robot controller differs greatly
from the ambient temperature, condensation can form. This may result
in damage to property.
• Wait until the internal cabinet temperature has adapted to the ambi-
ent temperature in order to avoid condensation.
Function test
The following tests must be carried out before start-up and recommission-
ing:
It must be ensured that:
• The industrial robot is correctly installed and fastened in accordance
with the specifications in the documentation.
• There is no damage to the robot that could be attributed to external
forces. Example: Dents or abrasion that could be caused by an impact
or collision.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb resulting from external forces
External forces, such as an impact or a collision, can cause non-
visible damage. For example, it can lead to a gradual loss of drive
power from the motor, resulting in unintended movements of the ma-
nipulator.
Death, severe injuries or damage to property may result from non-
visible damage.
‒ Check the robot for damage that could have been caused by ex-
ternal forces, e.g. dents or abrasion of paintwork.
Check the motor and counterbalancing system particularly care-
fully.
‒ In the case of damage, the affected components must be ex-
changed.
• There are no foreign bodies or loose parts on the industrial robot.
• All required safety equipment is correctly installed and operational.
