General Notes on Installing
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-5x7/P-5x8 is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive stress can
induce charges in piezo actuators. Piezo actuators can remain charged for several hours after
disconnecting the electronics. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the P-5x7/P-5x8's
connector can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can be destroyed
by an abrupt contraction.
Do
not
open the P-5x7/P-5x8.
Discharge the positioner's piezo actuators before installing:
Connect the positioner to the switched-off PI electronics equipped with an internal
discharge resistor.
Do
not
pull the plug connector out of the electronics during operation.
Positioners with D-sub plug connector:
Touching the contacts in the plug connector can lead to an electric shock (max. 130 V DC) and
minor injuries.
Do
not
touch the contacts in the plug connector.
Use screws to secure the positioner's connector against being pulled out of the electronics.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to incorrect handling!
An impermissible mechanical load on the motion platform of the P-5x7/P-5x8 can cause
damage to the piezo actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-5x7/P-5x8 as well as loss of
accuracy.
Do
not
touch any sensitive parts (e.g., motion platform) when handling the P-5x7/P-5x8.
