Important Safety Disclaimer
Dangerous uncontrolled motor runaway condition can occur for a number of reasons, including, but not
limited to: command or feedback wiring failure, configuration error, faulty firmware, errors in user script or
user program, or controller hardware failure.
The user must assume that such failures can occur and must make his/her system safe in all conditions.
Roboteq will not be liable in case of damage or injury as a result of product misuse or failure.
Power Terminals Identifications and Connection
Power connections are made by means of high amperage power terminals located at the top of the controller.
