e) Emergency stop buttons are not operated.
f) Implement preventive measures such as a fence enclosure to prevent human entry to the operating area
of the actuator/ positioning driver.
g) Take measures to perform an emergency stop by using a sensor, etc. To prevent human entry into the
above mentioned operating area.
7) Design Points
a) Do not allow impact or shock load to be applied to the positioning driver.
b) A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of human injury.
5 CE DIRECTIVES
5.1 Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
SMC Electrical Actuators are defined as components and thus are intended for incorporation into machinery and
assemblies, which are covered by the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC (refer to annex II B). CE marking is therefore
not applied to Electrical Actuators.
5.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC
SMC use CE marked motors and drivers which comply with all relavant EMC guidelines as set out in the EMC
directive 89/336/EEC. Please refer to the relevant manuals for EMC installation guidelines.
5.3 Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC
The drivers and motors for these products are in compliance with the LVD. Please refer to the relevant manuals
for installation guidelines.
CAUTION
Always observe installation guidelines and safety instructions of motors and drivers to ensure electrical safety and
compliance with the Directives.

8 WIRING
8.1 General
CAUTION
1) Refer to the relevant drivers manuals for the wiring.
2) Determine the correct power supply voltage from the product label.
8.2 Wiring the LC8
DANGER
1) Do not excessively bend, pull or pinch the power cable or motor leads. Electric shock may result.
2) To avoid electric shock, disconnect the power and wait one minute before performing maintenance or inspection
on the wiring.
3) Carefully follow the wiring diagrams when making wiring connections to avoid fire or electric shock.
4) Do not reverse the motor drive leads. Also be careful not to ground the wires or short them.
5) Do not attempt to use the signal terminals for other than the specified signals.
CAUTION
1) Do not attempt to measure the insulation resistance. Damage may result.
2) Ground resistance must be lower than 0.1 Ω.
3) Install appropriate surge protection to avoid malfunction.
8.3 Wiring Diagram
6 MOUNTING
There are two mounting possibilities: Bracket and Bulkhead mounting
6.1 Mounting Dimensions
To avoid overheating keep the minimum distance from enclosure as shown
below.
Installing the controller in an enclosure may result in overheating due to
increased temperatures inside the enclosure. Ensure the enclosure is ventilated sufficiently to prevent the ambient temperature from exceeding 50ºC
(122ºF) for 50 Watt and 100 Watt controllers and 40°C (104°F) for 200 Watt
controllers. Additionally, allow at least 50mm (2”) above and below the controllers, 20mm (.78”) between controllers and 30mm (1.18”) between the
controllers and sides of the enclosure for ventilation.
7 LC8 POSITIONING DRIVER SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
Never operate the actuator out of specifications.
8.4 LC8 positioning driver and motor power supply
Use specification table in section 7 to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker for protecting the LC8
controllers:
Cable Termination
Strip the wire and twist the ends. (Do not solder the core.)
The Motor/Power connector is used to connect the LC8 to the AC power supply and to connect the motor power
cable to the LC8. The Motor/Power connector has a separate plug that is inserted into the header in the LC8 so
that the wiring can be quickly disconnected and reconnected for servicing.
8.5 RS 232 interface
The RS-232 connector is used for serial communication to a PC. An RS-232 communication cable is available from
SMC or from most distributors of computer supplies.
8.6 Encoder connector
The encoder connector connects the motor encoder to the LC8. The encoder connector is a 20 pin AMP champ
series connector that mates with the encoder connector of the SMC standard actuators.
8.7 Multi-axis communication connector
The multi axis communications connector is used to connect a single LC8 master to up to 6 slaves using a multi
axis communication cable from SMC.
8.8 Command I/O connector
The Command I/O provides the input and output signals for normal operation of the LC8. All of the signals on this
connector are optically isolated from the rest of the LC8 electronics and a separate power supply is required when
using the Command I/O port. The Command I/O connector is a 26 pin AMP Champ series connector. A cable with
the appropriate mating connector is available from SMC (see Section 3.5).
