Note1 Control power capacity is 0.3A.
Note2 In-rush current will flow for approximately 5ms after the power is turned on (at 40
C).
Note that the value of in-rush current differs depending on the impedance of the power supply line.
Note3 Add the weight of the battery (case) for “Simple Absolute Type” and “Serial Absolute Type”.
Note4 Serial absolute type is not applicable for the pulse train control mode.
Note5 The current reaches the maximum at the excitation phase detection of the motor conducted when the servo is turned on
for the first time after the power is supplied. (TYP 1 to 2 second, MAX. 10 second)

Installation Environment
This product is capable for use in the environment of pollution degree 2
*1
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 5%RH to 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]
A place with its altitude more than 1000m
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
Storage and preservation environment follows the installation environment. Especially in a long-term storage, consider
to avoid condensation of surrounding air.
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 preserved in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated,
take the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package.
Installation and Noise Elimination
1. Noise Elimination Grounding (Frame Ground)
2. Precautions regarding wiring method
1) Wire is to be twisted for the 24V DC power supply.
2) Separate the signal and encoder lines from the power
supply and power lines.
3. Noise Sources and Elimination
Carry out noise elimination measures for power devices on
the same power path and in the same equipment.
The following are examples of measures to eliminate noise
sources.
1) AC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Install a Surge absorber parallel with the coil.
2) DC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Install a diode parallel with the coil. Use a DC
relay with a built-in diode.
