4. Load Tolerance of Building

The site of installation requires a floor load tolerance of at least 4010 N/m2 (410 kgf/ m2) . To prevent the formation of cracks in the floor, it is recommended that the adjuster foot of the PT-R rest on the framework of the building; however, the load on the floor will vary depending on the strength of the floor, the position of the framework, the positioning of the PT-R, and the presence of other heavy objects in the same location. Consult with the designer of the building or other authority.

5.Ground Connections

•In order to prevent electrical shock accidents from the AC power supply, perform grounding connections for the machine only after making sure that the PT-R power switch and the building side power switch are both off.

•Since the leakage current of the PT-R is max. 3.5 mA, be sure to conduct grounding before connecting the power line of the PT-R 3-line cable.

Have a qualified electrician select the above items and perform the connections.

6.Power Supply and Power Cables

•Have electrical work performed by a qualified electrician.

•Make arrangements to obtain the power supply indicated in Chapter 9, “Technical Information.”

•PT-R power is supplied independently from the building side power switch, therefore do not connect other devices to that power switch.

•The allowed range of voltage fluctuation in 200 V-240 V power supply areas is +6%, -10%. If fluctuations in the power supply are greater than this, use a stabilizer.

•A power cable is not provided with products sold outside of Japan. For the PT-R, please obtain an 2.5 mm2 × 3-wire power supply cable that complies with the standards of your country and is rated at 300 V AC or higher.

If the cable described above does not comply to the standards of the country of installation, please refer to the power supply nameplate attached to the PT-R and provide a cable locally that does comply.

CAUTION!	A readily accessible disconnection device (building side power switch)
	must be installed in the fixed building wiring before installing the PT-R.
