The P-603 is designed to be integrated into systems that meet the EN 61010-1 safety standard
and the EN 61326-1 EMC standard. The operator is responsible for electrical safety and
electromagnetic compatibility when integrating the P-603 into the overall system. The P-603
complies with the RoHS directive, i.e., the standards defined by EN 50581.
The motion of the P-603 takes place on one axis. The P-603.xSx versions are equipped with
position sensors.
The P-603 can only be used as intended in conjunction with suitable drive and control
electronics (p. 10) available from PI. The electronics are not included in the scope of delivery of
the P-603.
The electronics must provide the required operating voltages. To ensure proper performance of
the servo-control system (P-603.xSx only), the electronics must also be able to read out and
process the signals from the position sensors.
For information about the electronics refer to their separate documentation (p. 5).
Safety Precautions
Electrical Dangers
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-603 can remain charged if its connecting cable is disconnected from the electronics
during operation. Touching the live parts of the P-603 can result in minor injury from electric
shock.
Do
not
disconnect the P-603 from the electronics during operation. If the P-603’s
connecting cable was accidentally disconnected from the electronics during operation,
discharge the P-603 appropriately (p. 14).
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage in piezo actuators during operation!
During operation, the piezo actuator of the P-603 carries voltages of up to 120 V. Touching the
P-603 can lead to minor injuries from electric shock.
Do
not
touch the P-603 during operation.
Before startup, insulate the piezo actuator of the P-603 electrically from the surrounding
mechanical system to prevent direct or indirect contact with live parts. Pay attention to the
clearances and creepage distances required for the operating voltage, and pay attention to
the standards applicable to your application.
