x The platform must have sufficient rigidity to withstand not only the weight of the robot but also the
dynamic moment of inertia that is generated when the robot is operated at maximum speed.
x Secure the platform to the floor or other rigid structure in a manner that prevents any movement due
to operation of the robot.
x The installation platform must allow the robot to be mounted on a level surface.
3.3 Storage Environment
The storage environment conforms to the installation environment. If the robot is to be stored for a
prolonged period of time, be sure the robot will not be exposed to dew condensation.
Unless otherwise specified, desiccant is not placed in the carton when shipped. If the robot is to be kept in
an environment subject to condensation, provide preventive measures from over the carton or directly to
the robot after unpacking.
The maximum storage temperature is 60qC for a short storage period. If the robot is to be stored for more
than a month, the ambient temperature should not exceed 50qC.
z Failure to provide a proper environment for installation and storage may shorten the service life of
the robot, reduce its operation accuracy, or cause a malfunction or failure.
z Never use the robot in a flammable atmosphere. The robot may explode or ignite.

4.1 Notes on Installation
In the case of the ceiling-mount specification, the robot will move to points above the base installation surface
when the vertical axis (Z-axis) is moved to the top position.
In the case of the inverse specification, the robot will move to points below the base installation surface when the
vertical axis (Z-axis) is moved to the bottom position.
Additionally, when performing an absolute reset, the vertical axis (Z-axis) must be moved to the top position in
the case of the ceiling-mount specification or to the bottom position in the case of the inverse specification
(origin-return operation).
Therefore, install the robot in such a way that the vertical axis will not collide with the ceiling or platform during an
absolute reset.
It is recommended that the pedestal be constructed in such a way that contact with the robot will not occur within
the robot’s range of movement (see the figure below). If the pedestal cannot be constructed as shown below, be
sure to reduce the robot’s range of movement using soft-limits and prevent the robot from contacting the

Caution
4.3 Connecting the Controller
4.4
The controller connection cables are attached on the robot (standard cable: 5 m, to air-tube joint: 150 mm).
Pay attention to the following items when connecting the controller:
Connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the robot designation label provided on the
front panel of the controller.
Robot designation label
Robot serial number
Connect the cables securely after confirming that they are free from damage or bent connector pins.
Connect each cable by aligning the indication on the marking tube on the cable with the indication on
the controller panel.
When installing the PG connector (D-sub connector), ensure correct orientation of the connector.
The brake power circuit is provided on the primary side (high-voltage side). Therefore, provide a
dedicated 24V DC power supply for the brake. Do not attempt to share the secondary circuit power
sources such as I/O power source.
The brake power to be supplied to Horizontal Articulated Robot should be 24V DC ±10% and the
voltage source capacity 20W.
The brake power to be supplied to the XSEL-PX/QX controller should be 24V DC ±10% and the
voltage source capacity 9W.
(Note) It is necessary to increase the voltage source capacity of the brake power source if brake
actuators are to be connected to the 5th and 6th axes of the XSEL-PX/QX controller.
[Refer to the section of the voltage source capacity and heat generation in the controller
operation manual.]
4. How to Install
Refer to the operation manuals for the controller and PC software for the procedures to connect the I/O
cable, controller power cable, PC connection cable, etc.
Warning
Be sure to connect to the robot of the serial number specified on the front panel of the controller.
The controller will not operate properly if any other robot is connected. Failure to observe this
warning may cause the robot to malfunction, resulting in a serious accident.
Before connecting or disconnecting a cable, always turn off the power to the controller.
Connecting/disconnecting a cable with the power supplied to the controller may cause the robot to
