Indicates prohibited items.
Indicates items that must be performed to.
1. Handling Precautions
DANGER
- Do not touch components inside of VARICAM; otherwise, it will cause electric shock.
- Do not damage the cable by applying excessive load, placing heavy objects on it, or clamping; otherwise, it
will cause electric shock or fire.
- Turn the power supply OFF before wiring, transporting, and inspecting VARICAM; otherwise, it may
cause electric shock.
- Provide an external safety circuit so that the entire system functions safely even when VARICAM is faulty.
- Connect the grounding terminal of VARICAM; otherwise, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
CAUTION
- Do not use VARICAM in the following places; water splashes, the atmosphere of the corrosion, the
atmosphere of the flammable vapor, and the side of the combustibility.
Doing so may result in fire or VARICAM may become faulty.
- Be sure to use VARICAM and the ABSOCODER in the environment designated by the general
specifications in the manual. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction or unit failure.
- Be sure to use the specified combination of the ABSOCODER, VARICAM and sensor cable; otherwise, it
may cause fire or VARICAM malfunction.
CAUTION

iii
2. Storage
CAUTION
- Do not store VARICAM in a place exposed to water, or toxic gas and liquid.
- Be sure to store VARICAM in designed temperature and humidity range, and do not exposed to direct
sunlight.
- Be sure to consult with NSD when VARICAM is stored for long periods.
3. Transport
CAUTION
- Do not hold the cable or shaft of ABSOCODER during transport; otherwise, it will cause injury or malfunction.
4. Installation
CAUTION
- Do not step on the ABSOCODER sensor or place heavy objects on the controller; otherwise, it will cause
injury or malfunction.
- Do not block the exhaust port or allow any foreign matter to enter VARICAM; otherwise, it will cause fire or
VARICAM failure.
- Be sure to secure VARICAM and ABSOCODER with the provided brackets; otherwise, it may cause
malfunction, injury, or drop.
- Be sure to secure the specified distance between VARICAM and the control panel or other equipment;
otherwise, it may cause malfunction.
5. Wiring
DANGER
- Be sure to secure the terminal block firmly; otherwise, it will cause fire.
- Be sure to mount the terminal cover provided with VARICAM, before supplying the power, starting operation
after the installation, and wiring; otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
- Be sure to keep the sensor cable, control cable, and communication cable at least 300 mm away from the
main circuit and power line; otherwise it may cause injury or malfunction.
- Be sure to connect all cables correctly; otherwise, it may cause injury or malfunction.
- Be sure to firmly connect the external I/O connectors and sensor connectors; otherwise, it may cause
incorrect inputs and outputs or injury.

iv
6. Operation
CAUTION
- Do not change the VARICAM's function switch settings during the operation; otherwise, it will cause injury.
- Do not approach the machine after instantaneous power failure has been recovered.
Doing so may result in injury if the machine starts abruptly
- Be sure to check that the power supply specifications are correct; otherwise, it may cause VARICAM failure.
- Be sure to provide an external emergency stop circuit so that operation can be stopped with power supply
terminated immediately.
- Be sure to conduct independent trial runs for VARICAM before mounting ABSOCODER to the machine;
otherwise, it may cause injury.
- When an error occurs, be sure to eliminate the cause, ensure safety, and reset the error before restarting
operation; otherwise, it may cause injury.
7. Maintenance and Inspection
CAUTION
- Do not disassemble, remodel, or repair the unit;
otherwise, it will cause electric shock, fire, and unit
malfunction.
- The capacitor of the power line deteriorates through prolonged use.
We recommended that the capacitor be replaced every five years to prevent secondary damage.
8. Disposal
CAUTION
- Be sure to handle VARICAM and ABSOCODER as industrial waste while disposing of it.
