Operation
Note that upon delivery the system is ready for operation: all of
PI's piezo positioning systems are delivered with performance
test documents to verify the system performance, and
calibration of the controller is done prior to delivery in our lab.
Actuators and assigned controller channels are matched and
should be kept together as a unit. The serial number of the
assigned actuator is marked on the associated controller
channel.
Normally, you do not need to calibrate the system. Only if the
actuator, mechanical setup, cables to the bending actuator are
replaced, or if a large change in operating temperature occurs,
is recalibration necessary. Should you ever need to make a
new full calibration, read “Calibration” on page 14.

Getting Started
This section gives instructions for the E-651 benchtop devices.
Instructions for E-614 OEM modules can be found in the
E614T0003 technical note.
Do not interchange controller and/or actuators; they are
matched and calibrated together. Respect the
assignment of the actuators to the individual controller
channels, as indicated by the serial numbers on the
labels affixed to the devices.
Carry out the following steps to put the motion system into
operation:
1
Connect the actuators to the proper controller
channel(s) using the PZT & SENSOR socket(s).
Handle the actuators with care and avoid any kind of
mechanical shock.
2
Optionally: If you want to read out the sensor signal for
a channel, connect a voltmeter (not included) to the
appropriate SENSOR MONITOR socket.
3
With the POWER switch on the rear panel set to OFF,
connect the controller to the C-501.15050H power
supply (included) using the 14 to 16 VDC INPUT
socket, and connect the power supply to the line power
(100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
