Chapter 2: Safety
l
You must lock out and tag out power to the robot and its power supply before per-
forming any maintenance.
2.3 What To Do In An Emergency
The following is important safety information for actions to take in an emergency.
Stopping the Robot
Press any E-Stop button (a red push-button on a yellow background) and then follow the
internal procedures of your company or organization for an emergency situation.
Fire Response
If a fire occurs, use CO
2
fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
Entrapment and Brake Release Box
In case of entrapment of a person by the robot, or any other emergency or abnormal situation,
an optional Brake Release box, which plugs into the eCS-ECAT just below the Robot Status Dis-
play, allows you to manually position the robot arms without enabling high power. When 24
VDC system power is ON, this box allows the user to select and release the brake on one joint.
This allows movement of the robot at that joint, and therefore all of the robot from that joint
outward.
There is no brake on Joint 1.

DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY RISK
This robot is not a collaborative robot. It requires a dedicated work area that
prevents personnel from coming into contact with the robot during operation.
2.4 Robot Behavior
This section provides important information about the devices used to limit robot movements.
Hardstops
If the robot runs into one of its hardstops, the robot’s motion will stop completely, the system
will generate an envelope error, and power will be cut to the robot motors.
The robot cannot continue to move after hitting a hardstop until you clear the error.
The robot’s hardstops can stop the robot at any speed, load, and maximum or minimum exten-
sion.
Limiting Devices
There are no dynamic or electro-mechanical limiting devices provided by OMRON The robot
does not have safety-rated soft axis or space limiting.
However, users can install their own safety rated (category 0 or 1) dynamic limiting devices if
needed, that comply with ISO 10218-1, Clause 5.12.2.
