Intended Use
The positioner is a laboratory device as defined
by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use
and use in an environment that is free of dirt,
oil, and lubricants.
The positioner is designed for fine positioning
as well moving smaller objects quickly and
precisely. The positioner is not intended for
applications in areas where failure would be
a considerable risk for people or the environ-
ment.
It is only possible to use the positioner as inten-
ded when completely installed and connected,
and in conjunction with suitable electronics.
The positioner may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualified personnel.
Electrical Dangers
Temperature changes and compressive stress
can induce charges in the positioner. After
disconnection from the electronics, the piezo
actuators can remain charged for several hours.
Touching charged parts can result in minor
injuries from electric shock.
X
Do not touch the contacts in the connector.
X
Before mounting, connect the positioner
to the switched-off electronics for a few
seconds to discharge it.
X
Secure the connectors with screws against
being pulled out.
X
Do not pull connectors out of the electro-
nics during operation.
If a protective earth conductor is not properly
connected, touching the positioner in the case
of malfunction can result in minor injuries from
electric shock.
X
Operate the positioner only with a properly
connected protective earth conductor.
X
Do not remove the protective earth con-
ductor from the positioner during opera-
tion.
X
Pay attention to the applicable standards
for attaching the protective earth conduc-
tor .
Moisture, liquids, and electrically conductive
materials (e.g., metal dust) that penetrate the
positioner can destroy the positioner's piezo
actuator.
X
Operate the stage only under the permissi-
ble ambient conditions (see manual).
X
Do not operate a vacuum-compatible posi-
tioner during evacuation.
Excessively high or wrongly connected
operating voltages can cause damage to the
positioner.
X
Pay attention to the operating voltage ran-
ge of the positioner (see manual).
X
Pay attention to the correct pin assignment.
Continuously high voltages can reduce the
lifetime of the positioner.
X
Keep the maximum operating voltage as
low as possible during operation.
X
Discharge the positioner appropriately
when it is not in use.
Mechanical Dangers
Mechanical forces can destroy the positioner.
X
Avoid shocks and drops.
X
Pay attention to the maximum permissible
forces (see manual).
X
Do not pull the connecting cable of the
positioner out of the electronics during
operation.
X
If the connecting cable is accidentally pul-
led out of the positioner during operation:
Switch off the electronics before you recon-
nect the positioner.
X
Ship the positioner in the original packaging
only.
Incorrectly fitted screws can cause damage.
X
Do not allow screw heads to protrude.
X
Select the screw length according to the
depth of the mounting holes.
Collisions can damage the positioner, the load
to be moved, and the surroundings.
X
Mount the positioner and the load so that
the load cannot get jammed or blocked, or
collide with objects in the workspace.
Unsuitable mounting could warp the positioner
and reduce the accuracy.
X
Mount the positioner on a flat surface with
similar thermal expansion properties (see
manual for recommended flatness).
