[For the bending radius, refer to 1.4 Motor • Encoder Cables]

Warning:
• When the cable is connected or disconnected, make sure to turn off the power to the controller.
When the cable is connected or disconnected with the controller power turned ON, it might cause a
malfunction of the actuator and result in a serious injury or damage to the machinery.
• When the connector connection is not correct, it would be dangerous because of a malfunction of
the actuator. Make sure to confirm that the connector is connected correctly.
