This instrument is intended for use by qualified personnel who
recognize thermal, shock, or laser hazards and are familiar with
safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read the

with the instrument’s operations and capabilities.
CAUTION
The Model 8742 Picomotor Controller/Driver is designed to be
safe when operated under Normal Environmental Conditions as
defined in EN61010-1:2010. Operation under harsher
environmental conditions can result in severe injury.
CAUTION
The case of the Model 8742 Picomotor Controller/Driver is used
to dissipate internally-generated heat. Blocking the normal
convective airflow around the unit, or thermally insulating the
unit, can result in severe injury, damage to the product, and/or
fire.
CAUTION
When operated at higher pulse rates for extended periods of
time, the temperature on the outside of the Model 8742’s case
may rise above the “surface temperature limits in normal
operation” as defined in EN61010-1:2010 unless the user takes
appropriate measures. These may include the addition of an
external heat sink, barriers to contact, reducing the pulse
frequency, or other appropriate mitigations. Failure to take
appropriate action when operating the Model 8742 under these
conditions can result in severe injury.
