Ultimately, well-trained personnel are the best safeguard against
accidents and damage that can result from improper operation of the
equipment. The customer is responsible for providing adequately trained
personnel to operate, program, and maintain the equipment. NEVER
ALLOW UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE, PROGRAM, OR
REPAIR THE EQUIPMENT!
We recommend approved Yaskawa training courses for all personnel
involved with the operation, programming, or repair of the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.

WARNING
• Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned
OFF when the emergency stop button on the programming pendant
is pressed.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the
programing pendant is turned OFF.
Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit
cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator
should not be used if the emergency stop button does not function.
Figure 1: Emergency Stop Button
• In the case of not using the programming pendant, be sure to
supply the emergency stop button on the equipment. Then before
operating the manipulator, check to be sure that the servo power is
turned OFF by pressing the emergency stop button.
Connect the external emergency stop button to the 5-6 pin and 16-
17 pin of the robot system signal connector (CN2).
• Upon shipment of the FS100, this signal is connected by a jumper
cable in the dummy connector. To use the signal, make sure to
supply a new connector, and then input it.
If the signal is input with the jumper cable connected, it does not
function, which may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all
items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator.
Then turn the servo power ON.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.
Figure 2: Release of Emergency Stop Button
• Observe the following precautions when performing teaching
operations within the manipulator’s operating range:
– Be sure to use a lockout device to the safeguarding when
going inside. Also, display the sign that the operation is
being performed inside the safeguarding and make sure no
one closes the safeguarding.
– View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
– Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
– Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the
manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.
– Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of
emergency.
Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.

Function Notes for Safe Operation
WARNING
• Confirm that no person is present in the manipulator’s operating
range and that you are in a safe location before:
– Turning ON the power for the FS100.
– Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.
– Running the system in the check mode.
– Performing automatic operations.
Injury may result if anyone enters the manipulator’s operating range
during operation. Always press an emergency stop button immediately
if there are problems.
The emergency stop button is located on the programing pendant.
CAUTION
• Perform the following inspection procedures prior to teaching the
manipulator. If problems are found, correct them immediately, and
be sure that all other necessary tasks have been performed.
– Check for problems in manipulator movement.
– Check for damage to the insulation and sheathing of external
wires.
• Return the programming pendant to a safe place after use.
If the programming pendant is inadvertently left on the manipulator,
on a fixture, or on the floor, the manipulator or a tool may collide with
the programming pendant during manipulator movement, which may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Read and understand the Explanation of Warning Labels in the
FS100 Instructions before operating the manipulator.
