  Note : Please have the battery charged for more than 72 hours before using for the first time or after replacing with a 

new one. (Keep the ABU power ON. Operating the actuator during the battery charge would not cause any 
problem.) 
Also charge the battery when the ABU power is OFF for more than the battery retention time. 
[Refer to Absolute Battery Retention Time Condition Setting section for the details of the battery retention time.]

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This product is capable for use in the environment of pollution degree 2

 or equivalent. 

*1 Pollution Degree 2 :  Environment that may cause non-conductive pollution or transient conductive pollution by 

frost. (IEC60664-1) 

1. Installation Environment 

Do not use this product in the following environment. 

•  Location where the surrounding air temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40

°

C

 

•  Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes 
•  Location where relative humidity exceeds 85%RH 
•  Location exposed to corrosive gases or combustible gases 
•  Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder 
•  Location subject to direct vibration or impact 
•  Location exposed to direct sunlight 
•  Location where the product may come in contact with water, oil or chemical droplets 
•  Environment that blocks the air vent [Refer to Installation and Noise Elimination Section] 

When using the product in any of the locations specified below, provide a sufficient shield. 

•  Location subject to electrostatic noise 
•  Location where high electrical or magnetic field is present 
•  Location with the mains or power lines passing nearby 

2.  Storage and Preservation Environment 

The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the installation 
environment. In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close attention to environmental 
conditions so that no condensation forms. Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not 
included in the package when the machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored and 
preserved in an environment where condensation is anticipated, take the condensation preventive measures 
from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package. 

3. Installation 

Design and Build the system considering the size of the controller box, location of the controller and cooling 
factors to keep the ambient temperature around the controller below 40

°
