1. Safety
1.1 Conventions
Important safety considerations are indicated throughout the manual by the following
symbols. Be sure to read the descriptions shown with each symbol.
WARNING
This symbol indicates that a danger of possible serious injury or
death exists if the associated instructions are not followed
properly.
WARNING
This symbol indicates that a danger of possible harm to people
caused by electric shock exists if the associated instructions are
not followed properly.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates that a danger of possible harm to people or
physical damage to equipment and facilities exists if the
associated instructions are not followed properly.
1.2 Safety Precautions
For details of Safety, refer to the User’s Guide 2. Safety. Please read and understand the chapter
before using the robot system.
Only trained personnel should design and install the robot system. Trained
personnel are defined as those who have taken robot system training and
maintenance training classes held by the manufacturer, dealer, or local
representative company, or those who understand the manuals thoroughly and
have the same knowledge and skill level as those who have completed the
training courses.
WARNING
Only authorized personnel who have taken the safety training should be allowed
to execute teaching or calibration of the robot system.
The safety training is the program for industrial robot operator that follows the
laws and regulations of each nation. The personnel who have taken the safety
training acquire knowledge of industrial robots (operations, teaching, etc.).
The personnel who have completed the robot system-training class held by the
manufacturer, dealer, or locally-incorporated company are allowed to maintain
the robot system.
1. Safety
2 OP1 Rev.1a
Only authorized personnel who have taken the safety training should be allowed
to maintain the robot system.
The safety training is the program for industrial robot operator that follows the laws
and regulations of each nation. The personnel who have taken the safety training
acquire knowledge of industrial robots (operations, teaching, etc.), knowledge of
inspections, and knowledge of related rules/regulations. The personnel who have
completed the robot system-training and maintenance-training classes held by
the manufacturer, dealer, or locally incorporated company are allowed to maintain
the robot system.
WARNING
Immediately press the EMERGENCY STOP switch whenever you suspect any
danger.
The Operator Panel is equipped with an EMERGENCY STOP switch. Before
operating the Operator Panel, make sure that the EMERGENCY STOP switch on
the Operator Panel functions properly. Operating the Operator Panel when the
switch does not function properly is extremely hazardous and may result in
serious bodily injury and/or serious damage to the equipment, as the switch
cannot fulfill its intended function in an emergency.
WARNING
Be sure to connect the cables between the Controller and the Operator Panel
properly. Do not allow unnecessary strain on the 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
system. Do not use the cables near heat or fire.
Do not shock the Operator Panel physically or place any object on Operator
Panel. A liquid crystal display is used for the Operator Panel display. If the
display is damaged, liquid crystal may leak out. Liquid crystal is harmful. If it
sticks on your skin or clothes, immediately wash your skin and clothes thoroughly
with clean water and soap immediately.
The Operator Panel must be used within the environmental conditions described
in this manual. This product has been designed and manufactured strictly for use
in a normal indoor environment. Using this product in the environment that
exceeds the conditions may not only shorten the life cycle of the product but also
cause serious safety problems.
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Operator Panel by yourself. Improper
disassembly, repair, or modification of the Operator Panel may cause not only
improper function of the robot system but also serious safety problems.
CAUTION
Be sure to turn OFF the Controller before connecting and disconnecting cables.
Connecting or disconnecting the cables with the power ON may result in
malfunction of the robot system.

1.3 Emergency Stop
WARNING
Immediately press the EMERGENCY STOP switch whenever you suspect any
danger.
The Operator Panel is equipped with an EMERGENCY STOP switch. Before
operating the Operator Panel, make sure that the EMERGENCY STOP switch
on the Operator Panel functions properly. Operating the Operator Panel when
the switch does not function properly is extremely hazardous and may result in
serious bodily injury and/or serious damage to the equipment, as the switch
cannot fulfill its intended function in an emergency.
Furthermore, the EMERGENCY STOP switch does not function when nothing is
displayed on the Operator Pendant screen for the disconnection of the Operator
Pendant to the Controller.
Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch to stop the program execution, and turn OFF the
robot axis motors. The program, pause data and other data will not be destroyed.
When the EMERGENCY STOP switch is pressed, the Emergency Stop state is held both
mechanically and electrically.
To resume operation, follow the procedure below to reset the emergency stop state.
How to Reset an Emergency Stop State
(1) Remove the cause of the Emergency Stop, and make sure that the robot can be operated
safely when robot operation is resumed.
(2) Release the EMERGENCY STOP switch. To release a mechanical hold, turn the
EMERGENCY STOP switch to the right.
(3) Display the program execution screen and touch the Reset button.
When the Emergency Stop is released, the “EMERGENCY STOP” on the Operator Panel
Program Execution Screen turns OFF (displays
