Refer to the actual "Safety Manual" for details.
When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control
devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of
operation rights of the devices, etc. must be designed by the customer.
Use the robot within the environment given in the specifications. Failure to do
so could lead to a drop or reliability or faults. (Temperature, humidity,
atmosphere, noise environment, etc.)
Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting
the robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults
from dropping.
Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture
could lead to positional deviation and vibration.
Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a noise
source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.
Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable.
Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.
Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the
rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or
faults.
Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to
observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or
flies off during operation.
Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to
malfunctioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.
Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state
could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.
When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure
the priority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to
personal injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.
Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do
so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.
After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation
before starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference
with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.
Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic
operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to
do so could lead to personal injuries.
Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use nondesignated maintenance parts.
Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.

place hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to
hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.
Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's
main power OFF. If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during
automatic operation, the robot accuracy could be adversely affected. Moreover,
it may interfere with the peripheral device by drop or move by inertia of the arm.
Do not turn off the main power to the robot controller while rewriting the
internal information of the robot controller such as the program or parameters.
If the main power to the robot controller is turned off while in automatic
operation or rewriting the program or parameters, the internal information of the
robot controller may be damaged.
Do not connect the Handy GOT when using the GOT direct connection function
of this product. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily
injury because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless
of whether the operation rights are enabled or not.
Do not connect the Handy GOT to a programmable controller when using an iQ
Platform compatible product with the CR800-R/CR800-Q controller. Failure to
observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy
GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation
rights are enabled or not.
Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the multiple
CPU system or the servo amplifier. Do not look directly at light emitted from
the tip of SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET III cables of the Motion CPU or
the servo amplifier. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light.
(Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as
specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the controller.
Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of SSCNET III connectors or
SSCNET III cables. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light.
(Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as
specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET
III cable. If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector
pins, resulting in deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction.
Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way
specified in the manual can result in errors, such as the emergency stop not
being released. In order to prevent errors occurring, please be
that all functions (such as the teaching box emergency stop, customer emer
gency stop, and door switch) are working properly after the wiring setup is com
pleted.

1.2.1 Precautions given in the separate Safety Manual
The points of the precautions given in the separate "Safety Manual" are given below.
Refer to the actual "Safety Manual" for details.
When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control devices
(GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of operation
rights of the devices, etc. must be designed by the customer.
Use the robot within the environment given in the specifications. Failure to do so
could lead to a drop or reliability or faults. (Temperature, humidity, atmosphere,
noise environment, etc.)
Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting the
robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults from
dropping.
Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture could
lead to positional deviation and vibration.
Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a noise
source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.
Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable.
Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.
Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the
rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or
faults.
Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to
observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or
flies off during operation.
Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to
malfunctioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.
Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state
could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.
When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure
the priority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to personal
injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.
Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do
so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.
After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before
starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with
peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.
Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so
could lead to personal injuries.
Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, or use non-designated maintenance parts.
Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.
When the robot arm has to be moved by hand from an external area, do not place
hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.

Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's
main power OFF.
If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during automatic operation, the
robot accuracy could be adversely affected.
Do not turn off the main power to the robot controller while rewriting the internal
information of the robot controller such as the program or parameters. If the main
power to the robot controller is turned off while in automatic operation or rewriting
the program or parameters, the internal information of the robot controller may be
damaged.
Do not connect the Handy GOT when using the GOT direct connection function of
this product. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury
because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of
whether the operation rights are enabled or not.
Do not connect the Handy GOT to a programmable controller when using an iQ
Platform compatible product with the CR800-R/CR800-Q controller. Failure to
observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy
GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation rights
are enabled or not.
Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the multiple CPU
system or the servo amplifier. Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of
SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET III cables of the Motion CPU or the servo
amplifier. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light. (Reference: SSCNET
III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and
IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the controller. Do
not look directly at light emitted from the tip of SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET
III cables. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light. (Reference: SSCNET
III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and
IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET III
cable. If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector pins,
resulting in deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction.
Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way
specified in the manual can result in failures, such as the emergency stop not
being released. In order to prevent from occurring, please be sure to check that all
functions (such as the teaching box emergency stop, customer emergency stop,
and door switch) are working properly after the wiring setup is completed
Use the network equipments (personal computer, USB hub, LAN hub, etc) confirmed by manufacturer. The thing unsuitable for the FA environment (related with
conformity, temperature or noise) exists in the equipments connected to USB.
When using network equipment, measures against the noise, such as measures
against EMI and the addition of the ferrite core, may be necessary. Please fully
confirm the operation by customer. Guarantee and maintenance of the equipment
on the market (usual office automation equipment) cannot be performed.
1-5 Safety Precautions
To maintain the safety of the robot system against unauthorized access from
external devices via the network, take appropriate measures.
To maintain the safety against unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.

The installation procedure is shown below.
Refer to the installation diagram shown from the next section, and perform the installation correctly.
1) Move the J3 axis to the top end with a jog operation and shut off the controller's power supply. This is
necessary for space standard settings when feeding the air hose and hand input cable through the inside of
the shaft.
2) Remove the screws fixing the No. 2 arm cover U, and remove the No. 2 arm cover U.
3) Pass the tool (hand) side of the internal air hoses and cables through the shaft. Make sure that the air hoses
and the cables are not twisted or crossed.
4) Fix the air hoses and the cables with a cable tie so as to position the end of the expanding sleeve 10mm
away from the opening of the shaft.
5) The highest point of the curved section of the air hoses and cables should be matched up with the top of
the fixing plate.
If the air hoses and the cables are not long enough or too long, when the robot oper
ates, excessive bending and friction with the shaft upper end or the cover may result
in a break or abnormal operations of the tool (hand).
6) In the state of the steps 4) and 5), fix the air hoses and the cables to the (a) and (b) portions of the plate
with cable ties. For the (a) portion, wrap the air hoses and the cables with cushion rubber before fixing.
7) When using the hand input signal or the optional solenoid valve, refer to Page 84, "3.7 Hand internal wiring

the internal cables and connectors do not touch the plate edge and others, or break
due to the vibration during the robot operation (Refer to Page 91, "3.9 Connector
protection when the option devices are installed").
9) Carry out piping and wiring on the tool side.
Fix the air hoses and the cables, which are pulled out from the shaft lower end, to the hand side. Check
again that the highest point of the curved section of the air hoses and the cables reaches the height of the
fixing plate upper end, and then fix the air hoses and the cables at the outlet of the shaft.
In the case of oil-mist and clean specification models, to avoid mists entering and ensure the cleanliness
level, use liquid gasket and others to seal the outlet on the shaft tip where the air hoses and the cables are
pulled out.
10) Apply silicon grease to the contact surface between the air hoses of the fixing plate and the cables, the
cable sliding portion from the shaft upper end to the fixed portion, and the opening on the shaft upper end.
11) Power on the controller, perform the jog operation for the J3 and J4 axes, and check that the air hoses
and the cables do not interfere with other components.

12) Turn off the controller’s power supply, then install the No.2 arm cover U securely as before with fixing
Installing cables and air hoses inside the robot’s shaft is completed.
Do not power on the controller when the internal cables are connected to the con
nectors on the robot.

2.2.9 About oil mist specification
(1) Piping for pressurization inside robot arm
In use in oil mist environment, protection performance can be improved by pressurizing the inside of the robot
arm. Please connect the φ8 air hose to the joint for pressurization of the robot arm base portion "AIR PURGE",
and pressurize the inside of the robot arm.
Refer to the separate "Standard specifications manual" for specification of air purge.
Fig.2-18 : Air purge
2.2.10 About clean specification
(1) Piping for suction inside robot arm
In use of the robot of clean specification, please connect the φ8 air hose to the coupling for suction of the
robot body base portion "VACUUM", and suck the inside of the robot arm.
Refer to the separate "Standard specifications manual" for vacuum condition.

(2) Arrangement of the ventilation duct
The ventilation duct is attached to the robot’s base section rear (reference Fig. 2-20). As the Z axis moves up
and down the volume of the bellows varies, and air is sucked in and released out of the robot’s ventilation duct
opening. Be sure to locate the ventilation duct’s opening in a position that will not affect the robot’s cleanliness.
Furthermore, whilst it is only a small amount, internal suction results in external air flows into the robot through
the ventilation duct’s opening, and therefore the following two points should be considered when deciding where
to locate the ventilation duct’s opening.
・ The opening should be facing downwards
・ The opening should not be located in the vicinity of dust/dirt or liquids, etc.
(Recommended cleanliness of surrounding area: less than ISO class 5)
Fig.2-20 : Arrangement of the exhaust duct
Note) When using the optional electromagnetic valve set, we recommend using the primary piping’s spare piping
(φ6 air hose) to release the exhaust fumes.
Please take care as leaking exhaust fumes inside the robot may have an impact on the robot’s
cleanliness.

2.3 Confirming the operation
In this section, the robot will be moved manually using the T/B to confirm that the operation is correct.
Moving the robot manually is called "jog operation". This operation includes the JOINT jog that moves each axis,
the XYZ jog that moves along the base coordinate system, the TOOL jog that moves along the tool coordinate
system, the Work jog that moves along the work coordinate system, and the CYLNDER jog that moves along the
circular arc.
This operation is carried out while pressing the deadman switch on the back of the T/B.
Note) The figure of the robot which indicated to the explanation page in each jog mode is an example.
The robot will move during this operation. Make sure that there are no operators
near the robot, and that there are no obstacles, such as tools, in the robot operation
range.
To immediately stop the robot, release the deadman switch on the back of the T/B.
The servo power will turn OFF, and the robot will stop.
The robot will also stop if the [EMG.STOP] switch (emergency stop switch) on the
front of the T/B is pressed.
To check whether the origin of the robot deviates, move the robot arm to the posi
tion where the ABS marks align each other, and check the displayed joint coordi
nates of the position.
For the details of the ABS mark position and the joint coordinates, refer to Page
Installing the T/B, with turning off the controller power.
Please do not pull the cable of T/B strongly or do not bend it too much.
It becomes the breaking of a wire of the cable and the cause of breakage of the
connector. Please installing so that stress does not start the cable with the
connector itself.
Explain the installation method of T/B below.
1) Check that the controller's power supply is OFF.
2) Refer to Fig. 2-21 and connect T/B connector to the robot controller.
Use as the upper surface the lock lever, and push in until there is sound.
3) Pressing down the lock lever to lock the connector as shown below.
Fig. 2-21 : Installing the T/B
The installation of T/B is finished.
(1) Turning ON the control power
1) Turn the controller power switch ON.
Turns ON the switch of the earth leakage breaker of installation outside.
Confirm that there are no operators near the robot before turning the power ON.

◇◆◇ Operating from the T/B ◇◆◇
Always set the mode of the controller to "MAMNUAL", and then set the T/B [ENABLE] switch to "ENABLE".
When the T/B is valid, only operations from the T/B are possible. Operations from the external signals will not be
accepted. The stop-related operations such as an emergency stop can be performed regardless of the valid/
invalid setting.
◇◆◇ How to choose the jog mode ◇◆◇
Press the [JOG] key, the jog screen will be
displayed, and display the jog mode which can be
chosen at the bottom of the screen. Because
these correspond to the function key of [F1] - [F4],
press the function key corresponding to the jog
mode to wish. And, if the [FUNCTION] key is
pressed, selection in jog modes other than the
present display is possible. The override (100%),
the mechanism number (M1), and the tool number
(T1), and the base coordinate number (B1) are
displayed on the upside of the screen following the
present jog mode (JOINT).
2) Set the T/B [ENABLE] switch to "ENABLE". The menu selection
screen will appear.

2) Fix the solenoid valve to the plate in the position indicated in Fig. 3-1. Place it so that the solenoid valve's
primary piping connection joints (P, R ports) are located on the right hand side, and fix it securely using the
M4 screws included (tightening torque: 1.39 to 1.89N ・ m).
3) Connect the connector (GR1, GR2) of solenoid valve with connector of robot arm side (GR1, GR2). Connect
with the same names. The hand output signal cables of the robot arm side are located close to where the
solenoid valve is installed and are tied up with cable tie. Pull out and connect them to the connectors. Fix
the connectors so that they will not move along with the robot movement. (Refer to Page 91, "3.9 Connec
tor protection when the option devices are installed").
4) Connect the primary piping air hose (φ6). The air hoses are located close to where the solenoid valve is
installed and are tied up with cable tie. Cut the cable tie and connect them. Of the two air hoses, connect
the one marked “AIR IN” to the solenoid valve's P port, and the one marked “RETURN” to the R port.
Note) When connecting the RETURN air hose, be sure to remove the dust cap attached at the RETURN
joint on the robot base section. If the cap is not removed, exhaust air pressure will increase and
the solenoid valve may not operate properly.By connecting the exhaust air hose (φ6: customer
preparation) to this RETURN air joint, exhaust air from the solenoid valve is able to escape to the
designated point.
5) Connect the secondary piping air hose (φ4).
The optional hand curl tube, the hand internal wiring and piping set, or the air hose prepared by customer
can all be used, however when pulling the tip of the air hose out from the shaft please be sure to use the
optional hand internal wiring and piping set.
Connect the air hoses to solenoid valve port A and port B. Please refer to Table 3-1 and connect to the
necessary ports. Covers the unused solenoid valve joints with the plugs included.
Note) When pulling the tip of the air hose out from the shaft, please be sure to use the optional hand
internal wiring and piping set. Silicon grease to apply to friction points is included with the product

series)"). Further, when using the optional external wiring and piping box, the air hose can be
pulled out from the rear of the No. 2 arm (please refer to Page 89, "3.8 External Wiring and Piping
Box (RH-3FRH/6FRH/12FRH/20FRH series)").
6) If the hand output cable and the air hose have excess length, please tie the excess section by cable tie and
fix it to the plate. The plate have some holes for fixing the cable/hose with a cable tie.
Also, anchor the cables to the plate by a cable tie to prevent the cable connectors from moving freely.
Otherwise, the connectors may be damaged due to the impact of hitting devices near the connectors while
the robot is under operating condition.
7) Install securely the No.2 arm cover U as before with fixing screws (tightening torque: 1.39 to 1.89 Nm).
Note) The installation surface of the clean and the oil-mist specification covers is using sealing material.
In the event that the sealing material has been removed or has been bent or broken to the extent
that it cannot be return to the original form, be sure to replace the sealing material. Please inform
the dealer, if exchange is necessary.

3.7 Hand internal wiring and piping set (RH-3FRH/6FRH/12FRH/20FRH series)
Remove the No. 2 arm cover U and fix this option to the plate on the No. 2 arm.
Turn the controller’s power OFF before this operation. Refer to Page 101, "5.3.2 Installing/removing the
cover"for removing/ installing the cover.
(1) Installation procedure
The installation procedure is shown below.
Refer to the installation diagram shown from the next section, and perform the installation correctly. Installation
diagram of RH-3FRH series is shown in Fig. 3-19, and RH-6FRH series is shown in Fig. 3-20, RH-12FRH/20FRH
series is shown in Fig. 3-21.
1) Move the J3 axis to the top end with a jog operation and shut off the controller's power supply. This is
necessary for space standard settings when feeding the air hose and hand input cable through the inside of
the shaft.
2) Remove the screws fixing the No. 2 arm cover U, and remove the No. 2 arm cover U.
3) Pass the tool (hand) side of the secondary piping air hoses and hand input cables through the shaft. Make
sure that the air hoses and the cables are not twisted or crossed.
4) Fix the air hoses and the cables with a cable tie so as to position the end of the expanding sleeve 10mm
away from the opening of the shaft.
5) The highest point of the curved section of the air hoses and cables should be matched up with the top of
the fixing plate.
If the air hoses and the cables are not long enough or too long, when the robot oper
ates, excessive bending and friction with the shaft upper end or the cover may result
in a break or abnormal operations of the tool (hand).
6) In the state of the steps 4) and 5), fix the air hoses and the cables to the (a) and (b) portions of the plate
with cable ties. For the (a) portion, wrap the air hoses and the cables with cushion rubber before fixing.
7) Cut the secondary piping air hoses in appropriate length, and connect the air hoses to the solenoid valve.
The diagram shows the connection to the optional solenoid valve as an example. The air hoses can also be
pulled out from the rear of the No. 2 arm by using another option: an external wiring and piping box. For the
details, refer to Page 89, "3.8 External Wiring and Piping Box (RH-3FRH/6FRH/12FRH/20FRH series)".
For the connection to the optional solenoid valve, connect the air hoses to the A and B ports of the sole
noid valve.
8) When using the hand input cable connect the connectors (HC1, HC2) of optional hand input cable to
connectors (HC1, HC2) of robot side. Connect with the same names. The connectors of robot side and
cables are tied up by cable tie at (c) portion. Cut the cable tie and pull them out.
The connected connectors are stored to the (c) portion.
When the hand input cable is not used tie up the connector and fix to the plate by cable tie.
Do not remove the cable ties which fixing connectors.
Fix the plate on the No. 2 arm, other cables and air hoses with cable ties. In this way,
the internal cables and connectors do not touch the plate edge and others, or break
due to the vibration during the robot operation (Refer to Page 91, "3.9 Connector
protection when the option devices are installed").
9) Carry out piping and wiring on the tool side.
Fix the air hoses and the cables, which are pulled out from the shaft lower end, to the hand side. Check
again that the highest point of the curved section of the air hoses and the cables reaches the height of the
fixing plate upper end, and then fix the air hoses and the cables at the outlet of the shaft. In the case of
oil-mist and clean specification models, to avoid mists entering and ensure the cleanliness level, use liquid
gasket and others to seal the outlet on the shaft tip where the air hoses and the cables are pulled out.
10) Apply silicon grease to the contact surface between the air hoses of the fixing plate and the cables, the
cable sliding portion from the shaft upper end to the fixed portion, and the opening on the shaft upper end.
11) Power on the controller, perform the jog operation for the J3 and J4 axes, and check that the air hoses
and the cables do not interfere with other components.

3Installing the option devices
CAUTION
Do not power on the controller when the internal cables are connected to the con
nectors on the robot.
If the end of the cables on the tool side is not processed, troubles such as fuse blown
by ground fault or short circuit may occur. Check that the end of the cables has been
processed before powering on the controller.
12) Turn off the controller’s power supply, then install the No.2 arm cover U securely as before with fixing
screws (tightening torque: 1.39 to 1.89 Nm).
When installing the cover, check that no air hose or cable is pinched, and no air hose is bent.
Note) The installation surface of a clean and a oil-mist specification covers is using sealing material. In the
event that the sealing material has been removed or has been bent or broken to the extent that it
cannot be return to the original form, be sure to replace the sealing material. Please contact dealer
when the sealing material needs to be replaced.
The installing of the hand internal wiring and piping set is completed.
