7. Verifying Manipulator Operation

When the Manipulator(s), Control Unit or Drive Unit(s) has been maintained or, when
any parts were replaced in those units, it must be checked according to the procedure in
this section to ensure that the new setting(s) operates normally.
When only using the Control Unit, check the LED status on the system panel in the step,
(2) described below.
(1) Completely connect all the necessary cables for the system.
■ When verifying the robot system operation, prepare for failures with initial
settings or wiring. If the Manipulator operates unusually by the failures with
initial settings or wiring, press the Emergency Stop switch immediately to stop
the Manipulator. Verify the robot system operation in the restricted (low speeds
and low power) status. Verifying the robot system operation at high speeds
may damage the robot system and/or cause serious safety problems as the
WARNING

Manipulator correctly.
Manipulator may cause improper function of the robot system and also safety
problems.
