Warning
Warning
Never touch the rotating part of the motor while operating.
The failure could result in injuries. Take a measure for safety to keep away contact by personnel.
Do not touch the motor and driver while power is ON or for some time after power-OFF.
Temperatures may be high and you may get burnt.
Do not change the wiring while power is ON.
Be sure to remove wiring and unplug a connector after power-OFF. The failure could result in electric shocks, runaway or damages.
Do not give damage to, apply excessive force to, place something heavy upon, or pinch the cable.
Do not pull the cable by too much power. The failure could result in damages to the connection section, or electric shocks.
Never disassemble, modify, or repair the product.
Do not open the cover of the product, or disassemble or modify the parts inside. The failure could result in fire, electric shocks, malfunction or injuries.
Do not install the product on or near combustibles.
Attach the product to noncombustible matter such as metal. The failure could result in fire.
Do not tamper with water, corrosive gas, inflammable gas, flammable material, or electrically conductive material such as screws or metal pieces.
Do not insert metal pieces into the venting holes of the enclosure. The failure could result in fire, electric shocks, or damages.
Be sure to ground the terminal of the earth wire.
Securely ground to prevent electric shocks and to stabilize the potential in the control circuit.
Caution
Caution — Environment
Keep or use the product under the following environmental conditions.
-
Operating ambient temperature: 0 to 40℃
-
Storage ambient temperature: -20 to 60℃ (non freezing)
-
Ambient humidity: Below 90%RH (non condensing)
-
Vibration / Shock resistance: JIS Z 0232 Level 2 / JIS Z 0202 Level 3
-
Avoid storage or use in an environment where the product is exposed to oil or water. (It is not a waterproof structure.)
-
Indoor use only (no direct sunlight). No corrosive gas, inflammable gas, oil mist or dust.
Caution — Transportation
The product is precision mechanical equipment. Do not drop or give any strong impact to the product.
The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Do not hold the cables or motor shaft when transporting the product.
The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Do not climb, stand, or put heavy objects on the product.
The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Do not stack in excess of the specified number of products.
The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Caution — Installation
When installing a pulley or coupling to the machine, do not hammer on the motor shaft.
The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Be sure to fix the product on the machine firmly.
If fixation is not tight enough, the product may come off while operating.
Be sure to make precise centering between the motor shaft and the machine.
Deviation from the center could result in vibration or damages.
The load inertia moment should be below the recommended load inertia moment ratio of the motor being used.
If it is too large, desired performance may not be attainable.
Carefully consider the heat radiation of the product, and make sure to install it in a condition with proper airflow.
Be sure to avoid interference with the heat radiation of motor and driver.
Caution — Wiring
Wiring must always be performed properly and reliably.
Ensure that terminal connection or polarity (+, -) is correct. The failure could result in damages or malfunction.
Carefully consider the cable clamping method, and make sure that bending stress and the stress of the cable's own weight are not applied on the cable connection section.
The failure could result in damages or bursts.
Do not apply a voltage exceeding the specified voltage to the input terminal.
The failure could result in damages or bursts.
Do not modify the connector or terminals, etc., on the end of the cable.
The failure could result in damages or bursts.
Caution — Operation
Provide an external emergency stop circuit to ensure that operation can be stopped, and power switched off immediately.
When a trouble occurs, shut off the power immediately.
Before operation, check the parameter settings to ensure that there are no operation errors. Connect a load to the product after successful trial operations.
Improper settings may cause some machines to perform unexpected operation, resulting in damages.
Do not rotate the motor shaft by external force.
Rotating the shaft may cause regenerated voltage within the motor. This regenerated voltage may damage the driver board.
Do not apply a load exceeding the tolerable load onto the motor shaft.
The failure could result in break of the shaft.
Do not turn on or off the power frequently.
The failure could result in degradation of the circuit element.
Do not change the parameter settings excessively.
The failure could result in instable or unexpected operation.
Caution — Corrective Action
If any alarm has occurred, eliminate its causes and secure the safety before restarting the operation.
The failure could result in damages or bursts.
When it is assumed that a hazardous condition may take place due to a product fault, use an external holding brake mechanism.
If any alarm occurs, the motor goes into free-run state.
If any product fault has occurred, shut off the power immediately and do not turn on the power.
The failure could result in damages or bursts.
Caution — Maintenance and Inspection
Only persons who are trained and qualified to work on electrical equipment are permitted to maintain or inspect the product.
