When designing an application system, incorrect wiring or connection of each cable may cause
unexpected problems such as a disconnected cable or poor contact. The following explains examples
of prohibited handling of cables.
Warning: For wiring, please follow the warnings stated below. When constructing a
system as the machinery equipment, pay attention to the wiring and
connection of each cable so they are conducted properly. Not following them
may cause not only a malfunction such as cable breakage or connection
failure, or an operation error, but also electric shock or electric leakage, or
may even cause a fire.
• Use dedicated cables of IAI indicated in this instruction manual. Contact us if you
wish to have a change to the specifications of the dedicated cables.
• Make sure to turn the power off in the process of power line or cable connection or
disconnection.
• Do not attempt to cut a dedicated cable with connectors on both ends to extend,
shorten or re-joint it.
• Hold the dedicated cable to avoid mechanical force being applied to the terminals and
connectors.
• Use a cable pipe or duct to have an appropriate protection when there is a possibility
of mechanical damage on a dedicated cable.
• In case a dedicated cable is to be used at a moving part, make sure to lay out the
cable without applying any force to pull the connector or extreme bend on the cable.
Do not attempt to use the cable with a bending radius below the allowable value.
• Make certain that the connectors are plugged properly. Insufficient connection may
cause an operation error, thus it is extremely risky.
• Do not lay out the cables to where the machine runs over them.
• Pay attention to the cable layout so it would not hit peripherals during an operation. In
case it does, have an appropriate protection such as a cable track.
• When a cable is used hanging on the ceiling, prevent an environment that the cable
swings with acceleration or wind velocity.
• Make sure there is not too much friction inside the cable storage equipment.
• Do not apply radiated heat to power line or cables.
• Have a sufficient radius for bending, and avoid a bend concentrating on one point.

Tie them up softly.
• Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist.
