3. Grounding
Ground using the Protective Earth Terminals of the motor and driver, as well as the ground terminal of the connection cable.
Note
Be sure to ground the product. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
Static electricity may cause damage to the product if the Protective Earth Terminals are not grounded.
Two Protective Earth Terminals
are provided on the driver. Be sure to ground one of the Protective Earth Terminals.
Do not share the Protective Earth Terminal with a welder or any other power equipment.
Connect the ground terminal of the connection cable to the other terminal.

However, the grounding resistance value provided
in the standards applied to the equipment may not
be satised depending on the type or length of the
connection cable.
In this case, ground near the motor using the Protective
Earth Terminal
on the motor.
If the ground terminal of the connection cable is not
used, be sure to insulate.
