WARNING
• ALWAYS GROUND THE GROUND TERMINAL OF THE POWER TERMINAL BLOCK
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• SECURELY INSTALL THE CONNECTORS INTO THE ROBOT CONTROLLER, AND
WHEN WIRING THE CONNECTORS, MAKE THE CRIMP, PRESS-CONTACT OR
SOLDER CONNECTIONS CORRECTLY, USING THE TOOL SPECIFIED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.
• ALWAYS SHUT OFF ALL PHASES OF THE POWER SUPPLY EXTERNALLY BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION OR WIRING WORK. FAILURE TO SHUT OFF ALL
PHASES MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PRODUCT DAMAGE.
• YAMAHA ROBOTS AND ROBOT CONTROLLERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE
EXPLOSION-PROOF. DO NOT USE THEM IN LOCATIONS EXPOSED TO
INFLAMMABLE GASES, GASOLINE OR SOLVENT THAT COULD CAUSE
EXPLOSION OR FIRE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS INSTRUCTION MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS INVOLVING INJURY OR DEATH, OR LEAD TO FIRE.
• USE THE ROBOT CONTROLLER WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENT SPECIFICATIONS
LISTED IN THIS MANUAL.
USING THE CONTROLLER IN AN ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE THE SPECIFICATION
RANGE MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MALFUNCTIONS, PRODUCT
DAMAGE OR DETERIORATED PERFORMANCE.
• INSTALL THE ROBOT CONTROLLER AND PROGRAMMING BOX AT A
LOCATION OUTSIDE THE ROBOT'S WORKING ENVELOPE YET WHERE IT IS EASY
TO OPERATE THE ROBOT AND VIEW ITS MOTION.
• INSTALL THE CONTROLLER IN LOCATIONS WITH ENOUGH SPACE TO PERFORM
WORK (TEACHING, INSPECTION, ETC.) SAFELY. LIMITED SPACE NOT ONLY
MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PERFORM WORK, BUT CAN ALSO BE A CAUSE OF
INJURY.
• INSTALL THE ROBOT CONTROLLER IN A STABLE, LEVEL LOCATION AND
SECURE IT FIRMLY. AVOID INSTALLING THE ROBOT CONTROLLER UPSIDE
DOWN OR IN A TILTED POSITION.
• PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE AROUND THE ROBOT CONTROLLER FOR
GOOD VENTILATION. POOR VENTILATION MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION,
BREAKDOWN OR FIRE.
• NEVER DIRECTLY TOUCH THE CONDUCTIVE SECTIONS AND ELECTRONIC
PARTS OTHER THAN THE CONNECTORS, ROTARY SWITCHES, AND DIP
SWITCHES ON THE OUTSIDE PANEL OF THE ROBOT CONTROLLER.
• SECURELY TIGHTEN THE SCREWS ON THE L-SHAPED BRACKETS TO INSTALL THE
ROBOT CONTROLLER. IF NOT SECURELY TIGHTENED, THE SCREWS MAY
BECOME LOOSE CAUSING THE CONTROLLER TO DROP.
• SECURELY INSTALL EACH CONNECTION CABLE CONNECTOR INTO THE
RECEPTACLES OR SOCKETS. POOR CONNECTIONS MAY CAUSE EQUIPMENT
MALFUNCTIONS.
