When operating the enable switch, hold it tight until it reaches the intermediate position.
The enable switch incorporates two independent contacts. Because of the structure, a mismatch may
occur between the two contacts if operations such as the following are performed: Keeping theswitch before the intermediate position; and holding the switch slowly.
The force required to hold the enable switch to the intermediate position is about 3N, and the force
required to hold it beyond the intermediate position is about 12N. When the enable switch isoperated, it is not necessary to search for the intermediate position.
If, during machine operation, the enable switch is held strongly, first release the enable switch forsafety reasons and then restart the operation.
If the machine is operated (with jog feed or with the manual pulse generator), category 3 ofISO13849-1 may be required due to safety standards, etc. By using the machine with the enableswitch, it is possible to conform to the category. (NOTE 1)

CAUTION
If the operator may face danger when operating the machine with the portable manual pulse generator, besure to configure a safety circuit so that the machine can be placed in the interlock state, using the enableswitch on the portable manual pulse generator.
Before performing any operations that may cause the operator to face danger, such as opening theprotective cover and entering inside the safety fence, the operator must check that the enable switch
functions normally in a state in which he or she is safe.

NOTE
1 The safety standard may differ from one machine to another. Check the relevant safety standard.
Using Dual Check Safety (DCS) function in a system, the enable switch in the portable manual pulse
generator is complied with Category 3 PL d.

WARNING
When designing, be sure to observe all rules stated in this manual and any related manuals. Otherwise,
failures and malfunctions may occur.

2

If the customer is to use a FANUC product for an application that can pose a significant danger to human
lives and property, he or she is requested to confirm beforehand that the entire system is designed so thatthe risk is reported, that the necessary safety is ensured with redundant design, and that the FANUC
product gets electric power and is installed in the entire system appropriately for the intended application.

3

Failures in the portable manual pulse generator, as well as input power abnormalities and communication
failures, can hamper the normal operation of the portable manual pulse generator. Design the system insuch a way that the machine can operate safely by, for example, providing a safety circuit outside theportable manual pulse generator so that no accidents will occur even if such failures occur.
Using the dual check safety function makes it possible to detect a single fault related to safety. For detailsof the dual check safety function, refer to the dual check safety manual for the CNC unit to use.

4

Coolants containing sulfur or chlorine at a high activation level, oil-free coolants called synthetic type
coolants, and water-soluble coolants at a high alkali level, in particular, can largely affect the portablemanual pulse generator. Note that such coolants can cause problems such as those described below.
・ Coolants containing sulfur or chlorine at a high activation level
Some coolants containing sulfur or chlorine are at an extremely high activity level. If such a coolant
adheres to the portable manual pulse generator, it reacts chemically with resin and other materials,
possibly leading to corrosion or deterioration. If it gets in the portable manual pulse generator, it
corrodes copper, silver, and other metals used as component materials, possibly leading to component
defects.
・ Synthetic type coolants having a high permeability
Some synthetic type coolants whose lubricating component is, for example, PAG (polyalkylene glycol)
have an extremely high permeability. Even for equipment with a high airtightness, such a coolant caneasily flow into the equipment through, for example, packings. If the coolant gets in the portable manual
pulse generator, it may cause insulation deterioration and component failures.
・ Water-soluble coolants at a high alkali level
Some coolants whose pH is increased using alkanolamine are so strongly alkali that their standard
dilution will reach pH10 or higher. If such a coolant spatters over the surface of the portable manual
pulse generator, it reacts chemically with resin and other materials, possibly leading to corrosion or
deterioration.

5

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by FANUC, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
