Setup & Operation 1. Safety
1.3 Operation Safety
The following items are safety precautions for qualified Operator personnel:
■
Please carefully read the Safety-related Requirements in the Safety chapter of
the EPSON RC+ User’s Guide before operating the robot system. Operating
the robot system without understanding the safety requirements is extremely
hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment
damage to the robot system.
■
Do not enter the operating area of the Manipulator while the power to the robot
system is turned ON. Entering the operating area with the power ON is
extremely hazardous and may cause serious safety problems as the Manipulator
may move even if it seems to be stopped.
■
Before operating the robot system, make sure that no one is inside the
safeguarded area. The robot system can be operated in the mode for teaching
even when someone is inside the safeguarded area.
The motion of the Manipulator is always in restricted (low speeds and low power)
status to secure the safety of an operator. However, operating the robot system
while someone is inside the safeguarded area is extremely hazardous and may
result in serious safety problems in case that the Manipulator moves
unexpectedly.
WARNING
■
Immediately press the Emergency Stop switch whenever the Manipulator moves
abnormally while the robot system is operated.
■
To shut off power to the robot system, pull out the power plug from the power
source. Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle. DO
NOT connect it directly to a factory power source.
■
Before performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the Controller and
related equipment, and then pull out the power plug from the power source.
Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely
hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot
system.
WARNING
■
Do not insert or pull out the motor connectors while the power to the robot system
is turned ON. Inserting or pulling out the motor connectors with the power ON is
extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury as the Manipulator
may move abnormally, and also may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of
the robot system.
CAUTION
■
Whenever possible, only one person should operate the robot system. If it is
necessary to operate the robot system with more than one person, ensure that all
people involved communicate with each other as to what they are doing and take
all necessary safety precautions.
