1.3 Safety

Precautions

Please read the following information carefully in order to gain an understanding of safety precautions.


This product was developed as components for driving automated equipment and is designed not to produce
greater torque or speed than is necessary. However, strictly observe the following items to prevent any accidents
from occurring.

1. As a rule, any handling or operating methods not described in this manual should be viewed as things that

should not be attempted. Please contact IAI if any portion of the contents of this manual are unclear.


2. Use only the products specified for wiring between the actuator and controller.

3. Stand clear of the operating range of the machine when it is in motion or is ready to operate (when the control

power is on). Surround the system with safety partitions if there is a possibility that people can enter the area
where the machine is being used.


4. When assembling, adjusting, or performing maintenance on the machine, always disengage the power supply

to the controller. During work, display a sign stating work in progress where it is readily visible. Also, keep the
power cable close to the operator so that another person cannot inadvertently switch on the power.


5. When more than one person is working on the system, agree on signals beforehand to ensure everyone's

safety before beginning work. In particular, when doing work involving axis movement, always call out for
everyone's safety regardless of whether power is ON or OFF, or the axis is to be mechanically driven or
manually moved.


6. When the user needs to lengthen the cables, check the wiring carefully to make sure it is correct before turning

the power ON since miswiring can lead to malfunction.
