1. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing an IAI product.
This operating manual describes the correct handling, structure, maintenance and other aspects of your
actuator.
Before using your actuator, be sure to read this operating manual and handle the actuator correctly. Keep
this manual with you so that you can reference applicable information whenever necessary.
For more complete information on operating the actuator , also peruse the operating manual for your
controller.
2. Safety Precautions
2.1 Basic Handling
 You must assume that any handling or operation not specifically explained in this operating manual or
the controller operating manual cannot be performed, and do not perform any such handling or
operation.
 Always
use IAI’s genuine parts for wiring between the actuator and controller.
 Entering the operation range of the machine while the machine is operating or receiving power may
create a dangerous situation and must be avoided at all cost.
2.2 Maintenance and Inspection

Be sure to turn off the controller power before performing maintenance or inspection.

Exercise due caution so that other operator will not turn on the power inadvertently while inspection is
still in progress.

Put up a plate or other sign that clearly states “WORK IN PROGRESS,” etc., in a conspicuous location.
 If two or more operators work together to perform maintenance or inspection, the operators should
mutually watch out for each other’s safety. Particularly when turning on/off the power or moving the
axis, always call out before each action to ensure safety.
2.3 Permanent Magnets
This actuator uses high-performance rare-earth permanent magnets.
Accordingly, the actuator may cause malfunction in medical devices such as pacemakers.
Those who are wearing a pacemaker or any other medical device must not come within 30 cm of the
actuator.
