General Notes on Installing
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-63x is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive stress can
induce charges in piezo actuators. Piezo actuators can remain charged for several hours after
disconnecting the electronics. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the P-63x's
connector can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can be destroyed
by an abrupt contraction.
Do
not
open the P-63x.
Discharge the positioner's piezo actuators before installing:
Connect the positioner to the switched-off PI electronics equipped with an internal
discharge resistor.
Do
not
pull the plug connector out of the electronics during operation.
Touching the contacts in the plug connector can lead to an electric shock (max. 130 V DC) and
minor injuries.
Do
not
touch the contacts in the connector.
Use screws to secure the positioner's connector against being pulled out of the electronics.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to incorrect handling!
An impermissible mechanical load on the motion platform of the P-63x can cause damage to
the piezo actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-63x as well as loss of accuracy.
Do
not
touch any sensitive parts (e.g., motion platform) when handling the P-63x.
