WARNING
Be sure to ground the robot and controller to prevent electrical shock.
WARNING
Turn the controller power OFF before starting connecting the ground.
The ground terminal position differs for each robot. Refer to the explanation for
each robot in Chapter 6 and following for details.
1) Provide a terminal marked “PE” as the protective conductor for the entire
system, and connect to an external protective conductor. Also securely con-
nect the ground terminal on the robot base to the protective conductor.
(Symbol 417-IEC-5019)
2) When the end effector uses an electrical device which, if it malfunctions,
might make contact with the power supply, the user must provide proper
grounding on his own responsibility. The XY-X series robots do not have a
ground terminal for this purpose.
3) For details on protective bonding on the robot body to comply with CE mark-
ing, follow the instructions on protective bonding explained in the "YAMAHA
QRCX-E robot controller owner's manual".
