Installation Requirements
WARNING
- Do not disassemble the product in areas not described in the manual or perform maintenance in a manner different from these procedures. Improper disassembly or maintenance may not only lead to a malfunction in the robot system, but can also cause serious safety issues.
CAUTION
- Manipulators and Controllers should be used under the environmental conditions described in the respective manual. This product is designed and manufactured for use in a normal indoor environment. Use of the product in an environment that does not meet the operating environmental conditions will not only shorten the product life, but may also cause serious safety issues.
Installation Environment
A suitable environment is necessary to maintain the functionality of the robot system and ensure its safe use. The Controller should be installed in a location that meets the following conditions.
CAUTION
- The Controller is not designed with cleanroom specifications. If it must be installed in a cleanroom, adequate measures must be taken for the environment, such as by enclosing the Controller in a cabinet with adequate ventilation and cooling.
- Install the Controller in a location near an outlet that allows easy connection and disconnection of power cables.
- Install the Controller outside the safety barriers.
- If there are conductive objects such as fences or ladders within 2.5 meters of the Controller, these objects must be grounded.
- This product should be used in an overvoltage category 2, pollution degree 2 environment.
- Ambient temperature
5 to 40°C - Ambient relative humidity
20 to 80% (with no condensation) - Fast transient burst noise
2 kV or less (power supply wire)
1 kV or less (signal wire) - Electrostatic noise
4 kV or less - Base table
- The Controller should be installed 0.4 to 2 meters above the floor for ease of maintenance.
- The power shut-off switch should be installed at a height of 0.6 to 1.9 meters from the floor.
- Installation surface
Inclination 0.5° or less
(If installed vertically, the Controller may fall over when touched.) - Altitude
2,000 m or less
If the Controller must be installed in an environment that does not satisfy the conditions below, adequate countermeasures must be taken for the environment, such as by enclosing the entire Controller in a cabinet with adequate ventilation and cooling.
- Indoor, well-ventilated area
- Not exposed to direct sunlight
- Not exposed to radiant heat
- Not exposed to air that contains dust, oily mist, oil smoke, salt, metal powder, corrosive gas, or other contaminants
- Not exposed to splashing of water
- Not exposed to impacts or vibrations
- Not exposed to relays, contactors, or other sources of electronic noise
- Not exposed to strong electric or magnetic fields
Installation Method and Space
Install the Controller on a flat surface (such as a wall, base table, and Controller box) in the orientation shown in (A) to (C).
(A) Flat mounting
(B) Vertical mounting
* The rubber feet on the bottom need to be replaced. Attach the rubber feet with the flat side facing the Controller. Remove the screws that contact the rubber feet.
The size of the screws securing the rubber feet is M4 × 8.
Be careful to not lose the screws when replacing the rubber feet. Do not use screws with a different size.
(C) Rack mounting (option)
* A plate for rack mounting is required. The rack mounting is an option. For more information, please contact the supplier.
To ensure proper ventilation around the supply and exhaust ports, install the Controller at a position that is the following distance away from other equipment and walls.
(A) Flat mounting, (C) Rack mounting

The Controller's exhaust port blows out air at a temperature about 10°C higher than the ambient temperature. Make sure that heat-sensitive devices are not placed near the exhaust port.
Route the cables so that the Controller can be pulled out in the forward direction.
Wall Mounting Option
The Controller has a wall mounting option. For more information, please contact the supplier.
