1.4 Safety Precautions
Read the following precautions carefully and give fullest attention to safety measures.
This system product has been developed as a drive part for automated machinery, etc., and is designed
not to produce torque or speed beyond the levels needed to drive automated equipment. However, the
following instructions must be strictly followed in order to prevent accidents.
1. Do not handle this product in any way not explained in this manual. If you have any question regarding
the content of this manual, contact IAI.
2. Always use the specified genuine IAI cables for wiring the actuator and simple absolute unit.
3. Do not enter the operation area of the machine while the machine is operating or ready to operate (i.e.,
the controller power is turned on). If the machine is used in a location accessible to others, take proper
measures such as enclosing the machine with a safety fence.
4. Always turn off the main power supply to the controller before carrying out any assembly, adjustment,
maintenance or inspection work on the machine. While conducting such work, put up a sign to alert
that work is in progress. Also, the operator should draw in the power cable and keep it nearby, so that
other person will not connect the cable inadvertently.
5. If two or more persons work together, set action cues and confirm one another’s safety before carrying
out each step. When moving an axis, regardless of whether the power is turned on or off or it is done
using the motor or manually, always call out to check on others and confirm that it is safe to move the
axis.
6. Cable extension can be a cause of malfunction due to miswiring. If you must extend the wiring, check
thoroughly and confirm that the product has been wired correctly before turning on the power.
