Operating conditions
The following description gives major operating conditions for using YAMAHA ro-
bot series products.
●
EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
YAMAHA robot series products are products for use in an industrial environment.
(Refer to the definition applicable to the EMC directives: Under “Scope” in the first
article of the EN61000-6-2 standard.
In order to ensure your product conforms to EMC directives, you must evaluate your
finished product (entire system) and take necessary countermeasures. EMC counter-
measures for single units of YAMAHA robots are listed in “Chapter 3 EMC Counter-
measures” on page 20.
●
Installation conditions
• Since YAMAHA robot series products are built-in equipment, they have a Class I
protective structure against electrical shock. The robot and controller must there-
fore be grounded properly to prevent possible electrical shock. For more details,
refer to “2-2-4 Protective bonding” (page 19) in this supplement manual and the
Robot User’s Manual.
• The robot controller case is not designed as an enclosure that conforms to EN60204-
1 standard. Therefore you must provide appropriate protection against the danger
of electrical shock due to inadvertent contact and external environmental problems
(dust, water, etc.)
• Insulation co-ordination is designed to meet the following conditions. (Refer to the
IEC60664-1 standard.)
Overvoltage category II
Pollution degree II
Take proper countermeasures as needed if the robot or controller is used in envi-
ronments worse than these levels.
●
Explosion-proof
YAMAHA standard robots and robot controllers are not designed to meet explosion-
proof specifications. Do not use the robot and controller in environments containing
inflammable gas, gasoline or solvent. Explosions or fire may otherwise result.
