1. To prevent electric shock, note the following
WARNING
Before wiring or inspection, turn off the power and wait for 15 minutes or more (20 minutes or more for
converter unit) until the charge lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage between P+ and N(between L+ and L- for converter unit) is safe with a voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric
shock may occur. In addition, always confirm whether the charge lamp is off or not from the front of the
servo amplifier (converter unit).
Do not operate switches with wet hands. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
2. To prevent fire, note the following
CAUTION
When you use an MR-J4 multi-axis servo amplifier, connecting an encoder for wrong axis to the CN2A,
CN2B, or CN2C connector may cause a fire.
3. To prevent injury, note the following
CAUTION
The servo amplifier (drive unit), converter unit heat sink, regenerative resistor, servo motor, etc. may
become hot while power is on or for some time after power-off. Take safety measures, e.g. provide
covers, to avoid accidentally touching the parts (cables, etc.) by hand.
4. Additional instructions
The following instructions should also be fully noted. Incorrect handling may cause a malfunction, injury,
electric shock, etc.
(1) Wiring
CAUTION
Wire the equipment correctly and securely. Otherwise, the servo motor may operate unexpectedly.
To avoid a malfunction of the servo motor, connect the wires to the correct phase terminals (U/V/W) of
the servo amplifier (drive unit) and the servo motor.
Connect the servo amplifier (drive unit) power output (U/V/W) to the servo motor power input (U/V/W)
directly. Do not let a magnetic contactor, etc. intervene. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.

(2) Usage
CAUTION
Before resetting an alarm, make sure that the run signal of the servo amplifier (drive unit) is off in order to
prevent a sudden restart. Otherwise, it may cause an accident.
Use the servo amplifier (drive unit) and converter unit with the specified servo motor.
(3) Corrective actions
CAUTION
Ensure safety by confirming the power off, etc. before performing corrective actions. Otherwise, it may
cause an accident.
When it is assumed that a hazardous condition may occur due to a power failure or product malfunction,
use a servo motor with an electromagnetic brake or external brake to prevent the condition.
Configure an electromagnetic brake circuit which is interlocked with an external emergency stop switch.
Contacts must be opened when CALM (Common
malfunction) or MBR (Electromagnetic brake
interlock) turns off.
Contacts must be opened with
the emergency stop switch.

POINT
As soon as an alarm occurs, turn SON (Servo-on) off and interrupt the power.
[AL. 37 Parameter error] and warnings (except [AL. F0 Tough drive warning])
are not recorded in the alarm history.
[AL. 8D.1 CC-Link IE communication error 1] and [AL. 8D.2 CC-Link IE
communication error 2] are not recorded in the alarm history. For MR-J4-_GF_(RJ), these alarms are recorded by setting [Pr. PN06] to "_ _ _ 1".
When an error occurs during operation, the corresponding alarm or warning is displayed. When an alarm is
displayed, refer to section 1.4 and take the appropriate action. When an alarm occurs, ALM will turn off.
When an warning is displayed, refer to section 1.5 and take the appropriate action.

1.4 Remedies for alarms
When any alarm has occurred, eliminate its cause, ensure safety, and deactivate
the alarm before restarting operation. Otherwise, it may cause injury.
CAUTION
If [AL. 25 Absolute position erased] occurs, always make home position setting
again. Otherwise, it may cause an unexpected operation.
As soon as an alarm occurs, make the Servo-off status and interrupt the main
circuit power.
POINT
When any of the following alarms has occurred, do not cycle the power
repeatedly to restart. Doing so will cause a malfunction of the servo amplifier
and servo motor. Remove its cause and allow about 30 minutes for cooling
before resuming the operation.
[AL. 37 Parameter error] is not recorded in the alarm history.
Remove the cause of the alarm in accordance with this section. Use MR Configurator2 to refer to the cause
of alarm occurrence.

1.5 Remedies for warnings
If [AL. E3 Absolute position counter warning] occurs, remove the cause of the
CAUTION
warning, and always make home position setting again. Otherwise, it may cause
an unexpected operation.
POINT
When any of the following alarms has occurred, do not cycle the power of the
servo amplifier repeatedly to restart. Doing so will cause a malfunction of the
servo amplifier and servo motor. If the power of the servo amplifier is switched
off/on during the alarms, allow more than 30 minutes for cooling before
resuming operation.
