PZ245E
P-2x5 Piezo Actuator
Temperature changes and compressive stresses can induce charges in the P-2x5 piezo actuator.
After being disconnected from the electronics, the piezo actuator can stay charged for several
hours. Touching the live parts of the P-2x5 can result in serious injury or death from electric
shock.
Do
not
open the P-2x5.
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can
occur on the P-2x5 in the case of malfunction or failure of the system. If there are touch
voltages, touching the P-2x5 can result in serious injury or death from electric shock.
Connect the P-2x5 to a protective earth conductor (p. 22) before starting.
Do
not
remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e.g., in the case of
modifications), reconnect the P-2x5 to the protective earth conductor before restarting.
Mechanical forces can damage or misalign the P-2x5.
Avoid knocks that affect the P-2x5.
Do
not
drop the P-2x5.
Avoid torques, bending forces, and lateral forces on the tip of the P-2x5.
Do
not
exceed the maximum permissible loads (p. 41).

Organizational Measures
User Manual
Always keep this user manual together with the P-2x5.
The latest versions of the user manuals are available for download (p. 3) on our
website.
Add all information from the manufacturer to the user manual, for example,
supplements or technical notes.
If you give the P-2x5 to a third party, include this user manual as well as other relevant
information provided by the manufacturer.
Do the work only if the user manual is complete. Missing information due to an
incomplete user manual can lead to serious or fatal injuries as well as damage to the
equipment.
Install and operate the P-2x5 only after you have read and understood this user manual.
Personnel Qualification
The P-2x5 may only be installed, started, operated, maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualified personnel.
