Warning: For wiring, please follow the warnings stated below. When constructing a system as
the machinery equipment, pay attention to the wiring and connection of each cable
so they are conducted properly. Not following them may cause not only a malfunction
such as cable breakage or connection failure, or an operation error, but also electric
shock or electric leakage, or may even cause a fire.
• Use dedicated cables of IAI indicated in this instruction manual. Contact us if you wish to
have a change to the specifications of the dedicated cables.
• Make sure to turn the power off in the process of power line or cable connection or
disconnection.
• Do not attempt to cut a dedicated cable with connectors on both ends to extend, shorten or
re-joint it.
• Hold the dedicated cable to avoid mechanical force being applied to the terminals and
connectors.
• Use a cable pipe or duct to have an appropriate protection when there is a possibility of
mechanical damage on a dedicated cable.
• In case a dedicated cable is to be used at a moving part, make sure to lay out the cable
without applying any force to pull the connector or extreme bend on the cable. Do not attempt
to use the cable with a bending radius below the allowable value.
• Make certain that the connectors are plugged properly. Insufficient connection may cause an
operation error, thus it is extremely risky.
• Do not lay out the cables to where the machine runs over them.
• Pay attention to the cable layout so it would not hit peripherals during an operation. In case it
does, have an appropriate protection such as a cable track.
• When a cable is used hanging on the ceiling, prevent an environment that the cable swings
with acceleration or wind velocity.
• Make sure there is not too much friction inside the cable storage equipment.
• Do not apply radiated heat to power line or cables.
• Do not bend the cable in the area from the connector tip inward to 150mm on both ends.
