NOTICE
Damage due to improper mounting!
Improper mounting of the N-565 or incorrectly mounted parts can damage the N-565.

Only use the holes or threads intended for the purpose of fixing the N-565 and loads.

Install the N-565 so that the platform and all parts attached to it can move freely within the
entire travel range.
NOTICE
Warping of the N­565 when mounted on uneven surfaces!
The N-565 could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.

Mount the N-565 onto an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is
≤10 µm.

For applications with large temperature changes:
Mount the N-565 only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the N-565.
NOTICE
Damage due to unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the N-565 and the electronics.

Use cables provided by PI only to connect the N-565 to the electronics.
INFORMATION
For optimum repeatability, all components must be connected firmly together.
