1.1 General recommendation
These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment damage.
These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by a label of "CAUTION", "WARNING" or "DANGER".
To ensure safety, please observe ISO 10218 Note 1) and JIS B 8433 Note2) and other safety practices.
Note 1) ISO 10218: Manipulating industrial robots.
Note 2) JIS B 8433: General rules for robot safety.
2 GENERAL
DANGER
(In general)
1) Avoid the use of these products in an explosive atmosphere, it could cause injury and fire.
2) Do not perform work on the positioning driver when the power is on. Ensure that the power is switched off
before starting work, to avoid risk of electric shock.
WARNING
1.
The compatibility of positioning drivers and electric actuators is the responsibility of the person
who designs the system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the specific
system must be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet your specific requirements.
2.
Only trained personnel should operate this equipment.
Positioning drivers can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with them. Assembly, handling or repair of
systems using positioning drivers should be performed by trained and experienced operators.
3.
Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safe conditions are
confirmed.
1)
Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after confirmation of safe
locked-out control positions.
2)
When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above, and shut off and
isolate the power supply for this equipment.
3)
Before machinery/equipment is restarted, confirm that all safety measures are in effect.
4.
Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1)
Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if the product is to be used outdoors.
2)
Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, medical equipment, food and beverages, or
safety equipment.
3)
An application, which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property or animals,
requiring special safety analysis.
CAUTION
1) Read thoroughly and follow this manual before installation, operation and maintenance. There is the possibility
of electric shock, injury and fire.
2) Do not use product out of specifications.
3) Do not use damaged drivers and actuators. It may lead to injury and fire.
4) Do not remove any plate or label attached to the product.
5) Use drivers and actuators in the specified combinations. Fire and failure could occur otherwise.
6) Pay attention to the rise in temperature of the driver, motor and peripheral equipment. It may lead to burning.
(Transport)
1) Make sure not to drop the product during transport. There is a possibility of injury and damage.
2) Do not hold cables during transport. It may lead to failure and injury.
3) Follow the instructions to avoid collapse of cargo piles due to overloading.
(Disposal)
1) The disposal of actuators is as general industrial waste.
(Storage)
1) Do not keep the product in a place where it is exposed to rain, water droplets or harmful gases and liquids.
2) Store in a place within the specified temperature and humidity range (-10° to 60°C, 10 to 85% without
condensation) avoiding direct sunlight.

4 INSTALLATION
CAUTION
1) Take safety measures such as the installation of a protective cover if there is the possibility that operators will
be exposed to danger of injury by electric shock.
2) Avoid repeated bending and tension forces being applied to power transmission lines of motor cables. It may
lead to breaking of wires.
3) Securely tighten all fixing screws and connectors of positioning driver, so as to prevent them from becoming
loose.
4) Run power and signal cables separately to avoid risk noise of interference.
5) Avoid use in the following operating environments.
a) Locations with a lot of debris or dust, or where chips may enter the positioning driver.
b) Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range specified. (Refer to specifications)
c) Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the specified range. (Refer to specifications)
d) Locations where corrosive or combustible gases are generated.
e) Locations where strong magnetic or electric fields are generated.
f) Locations where direct vibration or impact shock etc. will be applied to the positioning driver.
g) Locations with a lot of dust and where water or oil splash onto the positioning driver.
6) Perform the following inspections before operating an actuator or positioning driver.
a) Inspection for damage to the actuator/positioning driver power lines.
b) Inspection for looseness of the connectors to each power line and signal line.
c) Inspection for looseness of the actuator/positioning driver mountings.
d) Inspection for abnormal operation of the actuator/positioning driver.
e) Emergency stop buttons are not operated.
f) Implement preventive measures such as a fence enclosure to prevent human entry to the operating area
of the actuator/ positioning driver.
g) Take measures to perform an emergency stop by using a sensor, etc. To prevent human entry into the
above mentioned operating area.
7) Design Points
a) Do not allow impact or shock load to be applied to the positioning driver.
b) A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of human injury.
5 CE DIRECTIVES
5.1 Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
SMC Electrical Actuators are defined as components and thus are intended for incorporation into machinery and
assemblies, which are covered by the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC (refer to annex II B). CE marking is therefore
not applied to Electrical Actuators.
5.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC
SMC use CE marked motors and drivers which comply with all relavant EMC guidelines as set out in the EMC
directive 89/336/EEC. Please refer to the relevant manuals for EMC installation guidelines.
5.3 Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC
The drivers and motors for these products are in compliance with the LVD. Please refer to the relevant manuals
for installation guidelines.
CAUTION
Always observe installation guidelines and safety instructions of motors and drivers to ensure electrical safety and
compliance with the Directives.
