P-616 NanoCube® XYZ Nanopositioner
NOTICE
Operating voltage too high or incorrectly connected!
Operating voltages that are too high or incorrectly connected can cause damage to the P-616.
Operate the P-616 only with controllers/drivers and original accessories from PI.
Do
not
exceed the operating voltage range (p. 40) for which the P-616 is specified.
Operate the P-616 only when the operating voltage is properly connected; refer to "Pin
Assignment" (p. 43).
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillation can cause irreparable damage to the P-616. Oscillation is indicated by a humming
noise and can be caused by the following:
A change in the load and/or dynamics requires the servo control parameters to be
adjusted.
The P-616 is operated near to its resonant frequency.
If you notice oscillation:
In closed-loop operation, switch off the servo mode immediately.
In open-loop operation, stop the P-616 immediately.
INFORMATION
Positive direction of axis motion is specified in the product view (p. 9).
INFORMATION
Sound and vibration (e.g., footfall, knocks) can be transmitted to the P-616 and can affect its
performance with regard to position stability.
Avoid sound and vibration while the P-616 is being operated.
6.2
Operating the P-616
Follow the instructions in the manual for the electronics (p. 11) used for starting and
operating the P-616.
6.3
Discharging the P-616
The P-616 must be discharged in the following cases:
Before Installation
When the P-616 is not used but the electronics remain switched on to ensure
temperature stability
