WORKING PERSON SAFETY 
Working  person  safety  is  the  primary  safety  consideration.    Because  it  is  very  dangerous  to  enter  the 
operating space of the robot during automatic operation, adequate safety precautions must be observed. 
The  following  lists  the  general  safety  precautions.    Careful  consideration  must  be  made  to  ensure 
working person safety. 
 
(1)  Have the robot system working persons attend the training courses held by FANUC. 
 
FANUC provides various training courses.    Contact our sales office for details. 
 
(2)  Even when the robot is stationary, it is possible that the robot is still in a ready to move state, and is 
waiting  for  a  signal.    In  this  state,  the  robot  is  regarded  as  still  in  motion.    To  ensure  working 
person safety, provide the system with an alarm to indicate visually or aurally that the robot is in 
motion. 
(3)  Install a safety fence with a gate so that no working person can enter the work area without passing 
through the gate.    Install an interlocking device, a safety plug, and so forth in the safety gate so that 
the robot is stopped as the safety gate is opened. 
The controller is designed to receive this interlocking signal of the door switch. When the gate 
is  opened  and  this  signal  received,  the  controller  stops  the  robot  (Please  refer  to  "STOP 
TYPE OF ROBOT" in SAFETY PRECAUTIONS for detail of stop type).    For connection, see 
Fig.3 (a) and Fig.3 (b). 
 
(4)  Provide the peripheral devices with appropriate grounding (Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D). 
s-2 
B-82654EN/04 
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
 
(5)  Try to install the peripheral devices outside the work area. 
(6)  Draw an outline on the floor, clearly indicating the range of the robot motion, including the tools 
(7)  Install a mat switch or photoelectric switch on the floor with an interlock to a visual or aural alarm 
that stops the robot when a working person enters the work area. 
(8)  If necessary, install a safety lock so that no one except the working person in charge can turn on the 
such as a hand. 
power of the robot. 
The circuit breaker installed in the controller is designed to disable anyone from turning it on 
when it is locked with a padlock. 
 
(9)  When adjusting each peripheral device independently, be sure to turn off the power of the robot 
(10) Operators should be ungloved while manipulating the operator’s panel or teach pendant. Operation 
with gloved fingers could cause an operation error. 
(11) Programs, system variables, and other information can be saved on memory card or USB memories. 
Be sure to save the data periodically in case the data is lost in an accident. 
(12) The robot should be transported and installed by accurately following the procedures recommended 
by  FANUC.  Wrong  transportation  or  installation  may  cause  the  robot  to  fall,  resulting  in  severe 
injury to workers. 
(13) In the first operation of the robot after installation, the operation should be restricted to low speeds. 
Then, the speed should be gradually increased to check the operation of the robot. 
 
(14) Before the robot is started, it should be checked that no one is in the area of the safety fence. At the 
same time, a check must be made to ensure that there is no risk of hazardous situations. If detected, 
such a situation should be eliminated before the operation. 
(15) When  the  robot  is  used,  the  following  precautions  should  be  taken.  Otherwise,  the  robot  and 
peripheral equipment can be adversely affected, or workers can be severely injured. 
- Avoid using the robot in a flammable environment. 
- Avoid using the robot in an explosive environment. 
- Avoid using the robot in an environment full of radiation. 
- Avoid using the robot under water or at high humidity. 
- Avoid using the robot to carry a person or animal. 
- Avoid using the robot as a stepladder. (Never climb up on or hang from the robot.) 
(16) When connecting the peripheral devices related to stop(safety fence etc.) and each signal (external 
emergency , fence etc.) of robot. be sure to confirm the stop movement and do not take the wrong 
connection. 
(17) When preparing trestle, please consider security for installation and maintenance work in high place 
according to Fig.3 (c). Please consider footstep and safety bolt mounting position.

OPERATOR SAFETY 
3.1 
The operator is a person who operates the robot system.    In this sense, a worker who operates the teach 
pendant is also an operator.    However, this section does not apply to teach pendant operators. 
 
(1)  If  you  do  not  have  to  operate  the  robot,  turn  off  the  power  of  the  robot  controller  or  press  the 
EMERGENCY STOP button, and then proceed with necessary work. 
(2)  Operate the robot system at a location outside of the safety fence 
(3)  Install a safety fence with a safety gate to prevent any worker other than the operator from entering 
the work area unexpectedly and to prevent the worker from entering a dangerous area. 
(4)  Install an EMERGENCY STOP button within the operator’s reach. 
 
The robot controller is designed to be connected to an external EMERGENCY STOP button. 
With this connection, the controller stops the robot operation (Please refer to "STOP TYPE 
OF  ROBOT"  in  SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS  for  detail  of  stop  type),  when  the  external 
EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed.    See the diagram below for connection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
B-82654EN/04 
SAFETY OF THE PROGRAMMER 
While teaching the robot, the operator must enter the work area of the robot.    The operator must ensure 
the safety of the teach pendant operator especially. 
 
(1)  Unless it is specifically necessary to enter the robot work area, carry out all tasks outside the area. 
(2)  Before  teaching  the  robot,  check  that  the  robot  and  its  peripheral  devices  are  all  in  the  normal 
operating condition. 
(3)  If it is inevitable to enter the robot work area to teach the robot, check the locations, settings, and 
other conditions of the safety devices (such as the EMERGENCY STOP button, the DEADMAN 
switch on the teach pendant) before entering the area. 
(4)  The programmer must be extremely careful not to let anyone else enter the robot work area. 
(5)  Programming should be done outside the area of the safety fence as far as possible. If programming 
needs  to  be  done  in  the  area  of  the  safety  fence,  the  programmer  should  take  the  following 
precautions: 
-  Before entering the area of the safety fence, ensure that there is no risk of dangerous situations   
in the area. 
-  Be prepared to press the emergency stop button whenever necessary. 
-  Robot motions should be made at low speeds. 
-  Before starting programming, check the entire system status to ensure that no remote instruction 
to the peripheral equipment or motion would be dangerous to the user. 
 
 
 
 
 
Our operator panel is provided with an emergency stop button and a key switch (mode switch) for selecting the 
automatic operation mode (AUTO) and the teach modes (T1 and T2).    Before entering the inside of the safety 
fence for the purpose of teaching, set the switch to a teach mode, remove the key from the mode switch to prevent 
other people from changing the operation mode carelessly, then open the safety gate.    If the safety gate is opened 
with the automatic operation mode set, the robot stops (Please refer to "STOP TYPE OF ROBOT" in SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS for detail of stop type).    After the switch is set to a teach mode, the safety gate is disabled.    The 
programmer should understand that the safety gate is disabled and is responsible for keeping other people from 
entering the inside of the safety fence. (In case of R-30iA Mate Controller standard specification, there is no mode 
switch.    The automatic operation mode and the teach mode is selected by teach pendant enable switch.) 
Our teach pendant is provided with a DEADMAN switch as well as an emergency stop button.    These button and 
switch function as follows: 
(1)  Emergency stop button:    Causes an emergency stop (Please refer to "STOP TYPE OF ROBOT" in SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS for detail of stop type) when pressed. 
(2)  DEADMAN switch:    Functions differently depending on the teach pendant enable/disable switch setting 
status. 
(a)  Disable:    The DEADMAN switch is disabled. 
(b) 
Enable:    Servo power is turned off when the operator releases the DEADMAN switch or when the 
operator presses the switch strongly. 
Note)  The DEADMAN switch is provided to stop the robot when the operator releases the teach pendant or 
presses the pendant strongly in case of emergency.    The R-30iB/R-30iA/ R-30iA Mate employs a 
3-position DEADMAN switch, which allows the robot to operate when the 3-position DEADMAN switch is 
pressed to its intermediate point.    When the operator releases the DEADMAN switch or presses the 
switch strongly, the robot stops immediately. 
The operator’s intention of starting teaching is determined by the controller through the dual operation of setting the 
teach pendant enable/disable switch to the enable position and pressing the DEADMAN switch.    The operator 
should make sure that the robot could operate in such conditions and be responsible in carrying out tasks safely. 
Based on the risk assessment by FANUC, number of operation of DEADMAN SW should not exceed about 10000 
times per year.
