Chapter 4: System Cable Installation
This chapter provides details about system cable installation.
This chapter assumes that you have already installed the robot and mounted a Front Panel.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTION RISK.
Dangerous voltages are present during cable installation, and you must take
appropriate lockout / tagout measures to prevent powering up the robot during
installation.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTION RISK
National Electrical Code (and/or local codes) require that you provide an appro-
priately sized Branch Circuit Protection and lockout / tagout capability. Ensure
that you comply with all local and national safety and electrical codes for the
installation and operation of the robot system.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTION RISK
Viper robot systems require an isolating transformer for connection to asym-
metrical mains systems or those using an isolated (impedant) neutral. Many
parts of Europe use an impedant neutral.
DANGER: ELECTROCUTION RISK
Only a skilled and instructed person must install AC power. Clause 5.2.4 of the
ISO 10218-1 requires that the person installing the system must use fail-safe
lockout measures to prevent unauthorized third parties from turning on power.
Refer to the
Robot Safety Guide (Cat. No. I590)
for more information.
!
CAUTION:
Ensure that all cables are installed with strain-relief to ensure they
are not damaged or accidentally removed during operation.
