3.5 Connecting the Cables

■ To shut off power to the robot system, disconnect the power plug from the power
source. Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle. DO NOT
connect it directly to a factory power source.
■ Before performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the Controller and
related equipment, and then disconnect the power plug from the power source.
Also, Inform others that you are working. Performing any replacement procedure
with the power ON is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or
malfunction of the robot system.
■ Be sure to connect the cables properly. Do not allow unnecessary strain on the
WARNING cables. (Do not put heavy objects on the cables. Do not bend or pull the cables
forcibly.) The unnecessary strain on the cables may result in damage to the cables,
disconnection, and/or contact failure. Damaged cables, disconnection, or contact
failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or improper
function of the robot system.
■ Grounding the manipulator is done by connecting with the controller. Ensure that
the controller is grounded and the cables are correctly connected. If the ground
wire is improperly connected to ground, it may result in the fire or electric shock.
■ When connecting the Manipulator to the Controller, make sure that the serial
numbers on each equipment match. Improper connection between the
Manipulator and Controller may not only cause improper function of the robot
system but also serious safety problems. The connection method varies with the
CAUTION
Controller used. For details on the connection, refer to the Controller manual.
When the Manipulator is a Cleanroom & ESD model, be aware of the followings.
For the Manipulator of Cleanroom& ESD model, use it with an exhaust system. For details
of the exhaust system, refer to "Appendix A: Specifications".
