96M12990 Safety Information

When using QS Series devices, follow the safety precautions below.

• Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a human body or part of a
human body.
• This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof product. Do not
QS Series use this product in hazardous locations and/or potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Stepper Motor Driver WARNING
• Do not use the QS Series in a location where water may splash on the device
or in a corrosive environment. Otherwise, this may cause fire.
QS-10N • Do not allow the surface temperature of the Stepper Motor to exceed 75C.
Otherwise, this may cause fire or injury.
QS-10P • If the QS Series will be used in a vertical drive such as a lifting and lowering
device, take appropriate measures to fix the moving parts in place. As the
QS-10H motor loses its holding power when the power supply is off, moving parts may
fall and cause injury or machine damage.

Instruction Manual • Do not disassemble or modify the QS Series. Otherwise, this may cause
malfunction.
• Never touch the rotating section of the motor during operation. Otherwise,
this may cause injury.
Read this manual before using the • While the system is turned on, or for some time after the system is turned off,

it so that it can be used at any time. • Do not insert or remove connectors when the system is turned on. Otherwise,
this may cause injury or malfunction.
• Install an external emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit in case of
device failure or abnormal operation.
CAUTION
• Be sure to connect the ground terminal of the Motor Driver. Otherwise, this
may cause electrical shock or fire.
• Do not use a power supply other than the one stated in the QS Series
specifications. Otherwise, this may cause injury or malfunction.
• Do not use a damaged Motor Driver or Stepper Motor. Otherwise, this may
cause injury or fire.
• Be sure to set up a safety device when using the QS Series in a facility where
a malfunction of the QS Series may lead to serious accident or loss.
• Follow the wiring instructions in this manual.
• Be sure to set up a safety device in case of external wire short circuits.
Otherwise, this may cause fire.
• Be sure to use the rated power supply voltage. Otherwise, this may cause fire
or malfunction.
• Do not exceed the stated specifications when using the QS Series. Otherwise,
this may cause damage.
• Ensure that the input power supply for devices connected to the QS Series is
turned off before starting wiring work. Otherwise, this may cause malfunction.
• Place cables as far away from high-voltage lines and power supply as
possible. Otherwise, this may cause malfunction or failure due to noise.
Introduction • Do not damage, excessively stress, pinch, or place heavy objects on the
cables. Otherwise, this may cause malfunction.

• Proceed with care when modifying the device, or when using it in a manner that falls outside
of the ranges indicated in its specifications, since KEYENCE is unable to guarantee device
functionality or performance in such situations.
• Use this device in combination with other devices only after careful consideration, since the
device may fail to satisfy its functionality and performance capabilities as a result of factors
such as its usage conditions and the environment in which it is used.
• This product is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public network which supplies
domestic premises; radio frequency interference is expected if used on such a network.
• If this product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by this product may be impaired.
Selection and handling of equipment
The selection of this system must be performed by engineering designers who have sufficient
knowledge and experience, based on the operating conditions, environment and applications
and afterwards conduct necessary analyses and tests.
This instruction manual is intended for engineers who have sufficient knowledge and
experience of servo systems.
Assembly, operation (including parameter setup), maintenance and inspection must be
performed only by such engineers.
Before conducting assembly, operation (including parameter setup), maintenance and
inspection, read this instruction manual thoroughly. - 1- QS-10_IM_E
