3.  Environments and Installation 
 
3.1  Environmental Conditions 
 
A suitable environment is necessary for the robot system to function properly and safely. 
Be sure to install the robot system in an environment that meets the following conditions: 
Item 
Conditions 
Ambient temperature 
*
 
5 to 40°C  (with minimum temperature variation) 
Ambient relative humidity 
10 to 80%  (no condensation) 
First transient burst noise 
2 kV or less 
Electrostatic noise 
6 kV or less 
Environment · 
Install 
indoors. 
·  Keep away from direct sunlight. 
·  Keep away from dust, oily smoke, salinity, metal   
powder or other contaminants. 
·  Keep away from flammable or corrosive solvents   
and gases. 
·  Keep away from water. 
·  Keep away from shocks or vibrations. 
·  Keep away from sources of electric noise. 
 
Manipulators are not suitable for operation in harsh environments such as painting areas, 
etc.    When using Manipulators in inadequate environments that do not meet the above 
conditions, please contact us.

NOTE
 
*  The ambient temperature conditions are for the Manipulators only.    For the Controller 
the Manipulators are connected to, refer to the Controller manual. 
 
Special Environmental Conditions 
The surface of the Manipulator has general oil resistance.  However, if your 
requirements specify that the Manipulator must withstand certain kinds of oil, please 
consult your distributor.   
Rapid change in temperature and humidity can cause condensation inside the 
Manipulator.  
If your requirements specify that the Manipulator handles food, please consult your 
distributor to check whether the Manipulator gives damage to the food or not.   
The Manipulator cannot be used in corrosive environments where acid or alkaline is 
used.  In a salty environment where the rust is likely to gather, the Manipulator is 
susceptible to rust.   
 
 
WARNING
 
■  Use an earth leakage breaker on the AC power cable of the Controller to avoid 
the electric shock and circuit breakdown caused by an unexpected water leak. 
Prepare the earth leakage brake that pertains the controller you are using. For 
details, refer to the controller manual.
