D. Electrical Safety
Eva’s electrical equipment has been designed and developed in
accordance with IEC 60204-1. The following instructions should be
followed in order to maintain electrical safety:
1. The robot is supplied with a Class II power supply. As such, a
protective earth connection is not required.
2. Eva is rated to IP20. Ensure that all equipment in your system
not rated for water exposure (including the robot) remains
dry. If water gets inside any unit, remove all power and contact
your supplier.
3. The robot has been designed according to international
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, to industrial
limits. Interference that falls outside of these limits can cause
disturbance, unexpected behaviour or even damage to the
robot with excessive exposure.
4. Using cables longer than 3 metres is not recommended.
Perform extended tests before attempting to use longer
cables to connect the robot to any other equipment.
5. Completely remove power from the system before
attempting to remove or transport the robot to a new
location, or when changing the tool.
6. Always plug the robot into the power supply provided. Never
use anything less than a Class II supply to power the robot.
Contact Automata or your supplier if you need to replace the
power supply.
7. Read the electronic interfaces section of the Technical
Reference Manual before connecting equipment to the I/O
port on the robot base or head.
