(4) Usage
CAUTION
Provide an external emergency stop circuit to ensure that operation can be stopped and power switched
off immediately.
Any person who is involved in disassembly and repair should be fully competent to do the work.
Before resetting an alarm, make sure that the run signal of the servo amplifier is off to prevent an
accident. A sudden restart is made if an alarm is reset with the run signal on.
Do not modify the equipment.
Use a noise filter, etc. to minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference, which may be caused by
electronic equipment used near the servo amplifier.
Burning or breaking a servo amplifier may cause a toxic gas. Do not burn or break a servo amplifier.
Use the servo amplifier with the specified servo motor.
The electromagnetic brake on the servo motor is designed to hold the motor shaft and should not be used
for ordinary braking.
For such reasons as service life and mechanical structure (e.g. where a ballscrew and the servo motor
are coupled via a timing belt), the electromagnetic brake may not hold the motor shaft. To ensure safety,
install a stopper on the machine side.
(5) Corrective actions
CAUTION
When it is assumed that a hazardous condition may take place at the occur due to a power failure or a
product fault, use a servo motor with electromagnetic brake or an external brake mechanism for the
purpose of prevention.
Configure the electromagnetic brake circuit so that it is activated not only by the servo amplifier signals
but also by an external forced stop (EMG).

COMPLIANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVES
1. WHAT ARE EC DIRECTIVES?
The EC directives were issued to standardize the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth
distribution of safety-guaranteed products. In the EU countries, the machinery directive (effective in January,
1995), EMC directive (effective in January, 1996) and low voltage directive (effective in January, 1997) of the
EC directives require that products to be sold should meet their fundamental safety requirements and carry the
CE marks (CE marking). CE marking applies to machines and equipment into which servo amplifiers have
been installed.
(1) EMC directive
The EMC directive applies not to the servo units alone but to servo-incorporated machines and equipment.
This requires the EMC filters to be used with the servo-incorporated machines and equipment to comply
with the EMC directive. For specific EMC directive conforming methods, refer to the EMC Installation
Guidelines (IB(NA)67310).
(2) Low voltage directive
The low voltage directive applies also to servo units alone. Hence, they are designed to comply with the low
voltage directive.
This servo is certified by TUV, third-party assessment organization, to comply with the low voltage directive.
(3) Machine directive
Not being machines, the servo amplifiers need not comply with this directive.
2. PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE
(1) Servo amplifiers and servo motors used
Use the servo amplifiers and servo motors which comply with the standard model.
