POINTS
*1 The ambient temperature requirement is for the Manipulator only. For details on the environment requirements
for the connected Controller, refer to the following manual.
"Controller Manual"
✏
POINTS
When used in a low-temperature environment near the minimum temperature specified in the product
specifications, or when the unit is idle for a long period of time during holidays or at night, a collision detection
error or similar error may occur immediately after the start of operation due to high resistance in the drive unit. In
such cases, warm-up operation for about 10 minutes is recommended.
✏
POINTS
If there are conductive objects such as fences or ladders within 2.5 m of the Manipulator, these objects must be
grounded.
Also, depending on the environmental specifications of the Manipulator, the following requirements must be met.

The following items should also be taken into consideration for the installation environment of Manipulators with protected-
models.
These are compliant with the IP65 protection class (IEC 60529, JIS C0920). They can be installed in environments exposed
to dust or splashing of water.
They can be installed in environments where dust, oil smoke, metal powder, and similar substances are airborne, but they
are not suitable for use with nitrile rubber oil seals, O-rings, packings, liquid gaskets, or other substances that impair
sealing performance.
The Manipulator cannot be used in environments exposed to liquids or airborne droplets that are corrosive such as acids or
alkalis.
In environments that are exposed to airborne droplets containing salt, rust may also form on the Manipulator.
Manipulator surfaces are generally oil-resistant, but if special oils are to be used, oil resistance should be checked before
use. For more information, please contact the supplier.
In environments with rapid changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form inside the Manipulator.
When handling food directly, it is necessary to make sure that the Manipulator is not likely to contaminate the food. For
more information, please contact the supplier.
Manipulator Installation Environment Requirements
- Install indoors.
- Keep away from direct sunlight.
