Attaching a Power Adapter
and Turning on the Robot
The power cable is already attached to the robot’s power
supply. You must attach a power adapter plug to the other
end of the power cable. See the example power adapter plugs
below:
220 V
110 V
Warning:
Wire the power cable only to a power adapter plug; never
wire the power cable directly to a power panel or other hard-wired
power supply. You must be able to unplug the cable from a power
outlet for safe operation.
Make sure the power line includes a two-pole, disconnect
type, ground leakage circuit breaker or a circuit breaker in the
AC power cable line with a rated current of 20 A or less.
For wiring details and information on the robot’s power supply,
see the online Epson Robot Manual.
Caution:
The robot does not have a power switch; once you plug it
into a power outlet, the robot’s power is on.

or
larger to the bolt hole shown here.
Warning:
Improperly connecting the ground wire may cause a
fire or electric shock.

Connecting the USB Cable
and Emergency Stop
Caution:

You can install the emergency stop that came with the robot
or install your own emergency stop that meets the safety
requirements listed in the online Epson Robot Manual.

To connect an emergency stop, first do one of the
following:
• If you are installing the emergency stop included with
the robot, rotate the stop button counterclockwise to
release the button, or the robot cannot operate.
• If you are installing your own emergency stop, wire it to
the 25-pin D-Sub connector that came with your robot.
Be sure to use the clamshell and strain relief during
assembly. For wiring details, see the online Epson
Robot Manual.
