Caution
[Installation]
Do not use the product under direct sunlight (UV ray), in a place exposed to dust, salt or iron powder, in a
humid place, or in an atmosphere of organic solvent, phosphate-ester machine oil, etc. The product may lose
its function over a short period of time, or exhibit a sudden drop in performance or its service life may be
significantly reduced.
Do not use the product in an atmosphere of corrosive gases (sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid), etc. Rust may
form and reduce the structural strength.
When using the product in any of the places specified below, provide a sufficient shield. Failure to do so may
result in malfunction:
1. Place where large current or high magnetic field is present
2. Place where welding or other operations are performed that cause arc discharge
3. Place subject to electrostatic noise
4. Place with potential exposure to radiation
Do not install the product in a place subject to large vibration or impact (4.9 m/s
2
or more). Doing so may
result in the malfunctioning of the product.
Provide an emergency-stop device in a readily accessible position so the device can be actuated immediately
upon occurrence of a dangerous situation during operation. Lack of such device in an appropriate position
may result in injury.
Provide sufficient maintenance space when installing the product. Routine inspection and maintenance cannot
be performed without sufficient space, which will eventually cause the equipment to stop or the product to
sustain damage.
Do not hold the moving parts of the product or its cables during installation. It may result in injury.
Always use IAI’s genuine cables for connection between the controller and the actuator. Also use IAI’s
genuine products for the key component units such as the actuator, controller and teaching pendant.
