6. 7 Operating environment
(1) Do not use the products in an area where they could be exposed to dust, metallic powder,
machining chips or splashes of water, oil or chemicals.
Damage and malfunction can result.
(2) Do not use the products in a magnetic field.
The ambient magnetic field may result in malfunction.
(3) Do not use the products in an environment where flammable, explosive or corrosive gases,
liquids or other substances are present.
Fire, explosion or corrosion can result.
(4) Avoid heat radiation from strong heat sources, such as direct sunlight or a hot furnace.
It will cause malfunction of or damage to the controller or its peripheral devices.
(5) Do not use the products in an environment with cyclic temperature changes.
It will cause damage to the controller or its peripheral devices.
(6) Do not use the products in an environment where surges are generated.
Devices that generate a large amount of surge around the product (Ex. solenoid type lifters, high
frequency induction furnaces, motors, etc.) may lead to deterioration or damage to the internal
circuits of the products. Avoid supplies of surge generation and crossed power and signal lines.
(7) The Card Motor and the controller are not immune to lightning strikes.
(8) Do not install these products in a place subject to vibration and impact.
It will cause damage or malfunction.
(9) If this product is used to drive a relay or solenoid, please use a voltage surge absorbing
element.
6. 8 Maintenance
(1) Perform maintenance checks periodically.
Confirm that wiring and screws are not loose. Loose screws or wires may cause unexpected
malfunction.
(2) Conduct an appropriate functional inspection and test after completed maintenance.
In case of any abnormalities (if the actuator does not move or the equipment does not operate properly,
etc.), stop the operation of the system. Otherwise, unexpected malfunction may occur and safety
cannot be assured. Conduct a test of the emergency stop to confirm the safety of the equipment.
(3) Do not disassemble, modify or repair the controller or its peripheral devices.
(4) Do not put anything conductive or flammable inside the controller.
Fire or explosion can result.
(5) Do not conduct an insulation resistance test or insulation withstanding voltage test.
