Cautions regarding compliance With EC Directives
■
The MISUMI robot (robot and controller) is not, in itself, a robot system. The
MISUMI robot is just one component that is incorporated into the customer's
system (built-in equipment), and MISUMI robots are in compliance with the EC
Directives as they apply to built-in equipment. Therefore, this does not guarantee
EC Directive compliance in cases where the robot is used independently.
Customers who incorporate a MISUMI robot into a system which will be shipped
to, or used in, the EU, should therefore verify that the overall system is compliant
with EC Directives.
•Differences between a MISUMI robot (robot and controller), and a robot system:
A MISUMI robot (robot and controller) is just one component in a robot system, and is not, in
itself, a robot system.
This is because a MISUMI robot does not include the "end effectors" or "any equipment,
devices, or sensors required for the robot to perform its tasks", as defined in the EN10218-
1:2006 Standard, Item –3.20.
Applicable EC Directives and their related standards
■
The following table lists the Directives (and related standards) which apply to the
robot's CE Marking compliance.
EC Directive Related Standards
Machinery
Directive
2006/42/EC
EN ISO12100-1: Safety of machinery - Basic concepts Part1
EN ISO12100-2: Safety of machinery - Basic concepts Part2
EN ISO14121-1: Safety of machinery - Risk assessment
EMC Directive
2004/108/EC
EN 55011 : EMC Emission of ISM Equipment
EN 61000-6-2 : EMC Immunity for Industrial Environments
Referred standards: EN ISO10218-1: Safety requirements - Part1:Robot
Cautions regarding the official language of EU countries
■
For MISUMI robots that will be installed in EU countries, the language used for
the user's manuals, CE declarations, and operation screen characters is English
only, except for warning labels.
Warning labels only have pictograms or else include warning messages in
English. In the latter case, Japanese language messages might be added.

2. Safety measures
Usage Conditions
■
The usage conditions which apply to the MISUMI robot series are described below.
•EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
MISUMI robots are designed for industrial environments. (Applicable standard
relating to the EMC Directive: Refer to the EN61000-6-2 Standard, Item 1 "Scope".)
EMC Directive compliance requires that the customer have the final product
(over equipment system) evaluated, with any necessary measures being
implemented.
•Explosion-proof
The robot and controller do not have explosion-proof specifications, and the
robot should therefore not be used in environments exposed to flammable
gases which could explode or ignite, or to gasoline and solvents, etc.
3. EMC countermeasure example
Regarding EMC directives, the customer's final product (entire system) including
the MISUMI robot must provide the necessary countermeasures. We at MISUMI
determine a model for single units of MISUMI robots (controller, robot, and
peripheral device) and verify that it complies with the relevant standards of EMC
directives.
In order to ensure the customer's final product (entire system) complies with
EMC directives, the customer should take appropriate EMC countermeasures.
Typical EMC countermeasures for a single unit of MISUMI robot are shown for your
reference.
CAUTION
The examples shown here are the countermeasures tested under our installation
conditions. When our product is installed in the customer's system, the test
results may differ due to the difference in the installation conditions.

Safety cautions
The controller was designed and manufactured with ample consideration given to
safety. However, incorrect handling or use may lead to injury, fire, electrical shocks,
or other accidents or equipment failures. To prevent possible problems, be sure to
observe the following safety cautions at all times.
Also carefully read the safety cautions listed in the robot user's manual and follow
all instructions given there.
DANGER
Never enter the robot movement range during operation.
Entering the movement range while the robot is in motion could
result in serious accidents or death. A safety enclosure or area
sensor with a gate interlock function should be installed to keep all
persons safely out of the robot's movement range.
Always turn the main power breaker OFF and establish an
"emergency stop" status before performing tasks within
the robot's movement range.
Failing to do so could result in serious accidents or death. (See
Section 2.7, "Configuring an emergency stop circuit".)
The controller and robot were designed as general-
purpose industrial equipment, and cannot be used
for the following applications.
·In medical equipment systems which are critical to human life.
·
In systems which significantly affect society and the general public.
·In environments which are subject to vibration, such as aboard
ships and vehicles.
For safety purposes, be sure to install an "emergency
stop" circuit.
Use the controller's "emergency stop" input terminal to install a main
power shutoff circuit (required).

Safety cautions
WARNING
•Installation environment
Use only in environments where the prescribed
ambient temperature and humidity are maintained.
Usage in other environments could cause electrical shocks, fires,
malfunctions, and product deterioration.
Do not use in environments which are subject
to vibration and impact shocks, electromagnetic
interference, electrostatic discharges, and radio
frequency interference.
Usage in these environments could cause malfunctions and
equipment failure.
Do not use in environments which are exposed to
water, corrosive gases, metal cutting chips, dust, or
direct sunlight.
Usage in these environments could cause malfunctions and
equipment failure.
Do not use in flammable or explosive environments.
Usage in these environments could hamper operating tasks, and
could possibly cause injuries.
Provide ample space to ensure that tasks (teaching,
inspections, etc.) can be performed safely.
Failing to provide adequate space makes tasks difficult to perform,
and can cause injuries.
Secure the equipment firmly to a non-flammable
vertical wall of metal material.
The controller becomes hot during operation, and must be secured
to a metal wall in order to prevent the risk of fires.
Install in a well ventilated site with ample space
around the equipment.
Failing to do so could cause malfunctions, equipment failure, and fires.

Safety cautions
ix
•Wiring and connections
Always shut off the power to the controller before
performing wiring work and connecting cables.
Failing to do so could result in electrical shocks and equipment
failure.
When connecting cables, use care to avoid subjecting
the connectors to impact shocks or excessive loads.
Failing to do so could result in connector pin deformation, and
internal PCB damage.
Handle cables with care to avoid damaging them.
Do not attempt to modify the cables, and avoid pulling them or
placing heavy objects on them. These actions could damage the
cable, possibly resulting in malfunctions and electrical shocks.
Be sure that cable connectors and terminals are fully
inserted and securely fastened.
Tighten the fastening screws securely. Failing to do so could cause a
poor connection, possibly resulting in malfunctions.
Securely ground the power terminal block's ground
terminal.
Failing to do so could result in malfunctions or breakdowns.
•Operation and handling
The controller and the H1 should be operated only by
personnel who have received safety and operation
training.
Operation by an untrained person is extremely hazardous.
Set the payload, acceleration, and deceleration to
appropriate values.
Payload, acceleration, and deceleration settings which differ greatly
from the actual values will result in operation time loss, shorten the
robot life, and cause vibration. Be sure to set them to appropriate
values.
Do not enter the robot's movement range while power
is supplied to the controller.
Doing so could result in a serious accident, injury, or death.
