NOTE: The eCobra robot system is intended to be installed as a piece of equip-
ment in a permanently-installed system.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTIONRISK
eCobra robot systems require an isolating transformer for connection to mains
systems that are asymmetrical or use an isolated (impedant) neutral. Many
parts of Europe use an impedant neutral.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTIONRISK
AC power installation must be performed by a skilled and instructed person—
refer to the Robot Safety Guide. During installation fail-safe lockout measures
must be used to prevent, unauthorized third parties from turning on power.
This is mandated by Clause 5.2.4 of the ISO 10218-1.
Failure to use appropriate power (less than or more than the rated voltage
range of 200-240 VAC) can lead to malfunction or failures of the robot or haz-
ardous situations.
Facility overvoltages Protection
The user must protect the robot from excessive overvoltages and voltage spikes. If the country
of installation requires a CE-certified installation, or compliance with IEC1131-2, the following
information may be helpful: IEC 1131-2 requires that the installation must ensure that
CategoryII overvoltages (i.e., line spikes not directly due to lightning strikes) are not exceeded.
Transient overvoltages at the point of connection to the power source shall be controlled not to
exceed overvoltages CategoryII, i.e., not higher than the impulse voltage corresponding to the
rated voltage for the basic insulation. The user-supplied equipment or transient suppressor
shall be capable of absorbing the energy in the transient.
