ATTENTION:
● Always place the protective cap on the SSCNET-III connection when no cable is connected.
Otherwise, soiling may lead to an impairment in the transmission and to malfunctions.
● Do not remove the SSCNET-III cable as long as the power supply of the CPU system or the
drive unit is switched on.
Never look directly into the light emitted from the robot CPU or the SSCNET-III connections
of the drive unit, or into the open end of the SSCNET-III cable. The light emitted from these
complies with the IEC60825-1 standard of laser class 1 and may result in an irritation to the
eyes if viewed directly.

NOTE Connect the shielding of the TU cable with a grounding clamp to the to the housing of the drive
unit to prevent electromagnetic disturbances. Connect the shielding on the side of the robot CPU
with a grounding clamp to the ground potential.
Remove 20 to 30 mm of wire insulation from the TU cable and
connect the shielding with a grounding clamp to the housing
of the drive unit.
