symbols
: Indicates "prohibited" actions that must not be performed.
: Indicates "compulsory" actions that must be performed.
Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the
presence of ammable gases, locations subjected to splashing water, or near
combustibles. Doing so may result in re, electric shock or injury.
Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections
when the power is on. Always turn the power o before carrying out these
operations. Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to equipment.
Do not use a standard type product in vertical drive such as elevating
equipment. If the driver’s protection function is activated, the motor will stop
and the moving part may drop, thereby causing injury or equipment damage.
Do not use the brake mechanism of the motor with electromagnetic brake as a
safety brake. It is intended to hold the movable parts and motor position. This
caution is to avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cable. Doing so may result in re,
electric shock or damage to equipment.
Do not machine or modify the motor cable or connection cable. Doing so may
result in re, electric shock or damage to equipment.
Do not touch the motor or driver when conducting the insulation resistance
measurement or dielectric strength test. Accidental contact may result in
electric shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the motor, gearhead and driver. Doing so may
result in injury or damage to equipment. Refer all such internal inspections and
repairs to the branch or sales oce from which you purchased the product.
Only qualied and educated personnel should be allowed to perform
installation, connection, operation and inspection/troubleshooting of the
product. Handling by unqualied and uneducated personnel may result in re,
electric shock, injury or equipment damage.
When the driver's protection function is triggered, rst remove the cause and
then clear the protection function. Continuing the operation without removing
the cause of the problem may cause malfunction of the motor and driver,
leading to injury or damage to equipment.
Install the motor, gearhead and driver in an enclosure. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or injury.
Keep the driver's input-power voltage within the specied range to avoid re
or electric shock.
For the power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its
primary and secondary sides. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
Securely connect the cables in accordance with the connection examples.
Failure to do so may result in re or electric shock.
Be sure to observe the specied cable sizes. Use of unspecied cable sizes may
result in re or electric shock.
Observe the specied screw tightening torque when connecting terminals to
the connector. Failure to do so may result in re or equipment damage.
Use a motor, gearhead, and driver only in the specied combination. Failure to
do so may result in re, electric shock or damage to equipment.
When the electromagnetic brake motor is used in an application of vertical
drive such as elevating equipment, operate it after checking the condition of a
load suciently so that a load in excess of the rated torque is not applied or a
small value is not set in the torque limiting value. Failure to do so may result in
injury or damage to equipment.
Always turn o the power before performing maintenance/inspection. Failure
to do so may result in injury.
Regularly check the openings in the driver for accumulated dust. Accumulated
dust may cause re.
Do not use the motor, gearhead and driver beyond the specications. Doing so
may result in electric shock, injury or damage to equipment.
Keep your ngers and objects out of the openings in the driver, or re, electric
shock or injury may result.
Do not touch the motor, gearhead or driver while operating or immediately
after stopping. The surface of the motor, gearhead or driver may be hot and
cause a skin burn(s).
To prevent the risk of damage to equipment, leave nothing around the motor
and driver that would obstruct ventilation.
Do not hold the output shaft of the motor and gearhead, as well as any of the
cables. Doing so may result in injury.
Do not touch the motor output shaft (key groove or pinion) with bare hands.
Doing so may result in injury.
When assembling the motor with the gearhead, exercise caution not to pinch
your ngers or other parts of your body between the motor and gearhead.
Injury may result.
When installing the motor or gearhead in the equipment, exercise caution not
to pinch your ngers or other parts of your body between the equipment and
motor or gearhead. Injury may result.
Do not shut o the negative side of the power supply during operation. Also,
note that the wiring for the power supply does not disconnect. Doing so may
cause damage to equipment.
Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) during operation. This may cause
injury.
Securely install the motor, gearhead and driver to their respective mounting
plates. Inappropriate installation may cause the motor, gearhead or driver to
detach and fall, resulting in injury or equipment damage.
Provide a cover over the rotating part (output shaft) of the motor or gearhead.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Securely install the load on the output shaft of the motor or gearhead.
Inappropriate installation may result in injury.
Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external to the
equipment so that the entire equipment will operate safely in the event of a
system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Immediately when trouble has occurred, stop operation and turn o the driver
power. Failure to do so may result in re, electric shock or injury.
The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F) even
under normal operating conditions. If the operator is allowed
to approach the motor in operation, attach a warning label in
a conspicuous position as shown in the gure. Failure to do so
may result in a skin burn(s). Warning label
Dispose the product correctly in accordance with laws and regulations, or
instructions of local governments.
