General Notes on Starting and Operating
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can
occur on the P-54x in the case of malfunction or failure of the system. If there are touch
voltages, touching the P-54x can result in minor injuries from electric shock.
Connect the P-54x to a protective earth conductor (p. 18) 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-54x to the protective earth conductor before restarting.
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator due to electric flashovers!
Using the P-54x in environments that increase the electrical conductivity can lead to the
destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers. Electric flashovers can be caused by
moisture, high humidity, liquids, and conductive materials (e.g., metal dust). In addition,
electric flashovers can also occur in certain air pressure ranges due to the increased
conductivity of the air.
Avoid operating the P-54x in environments that can increase the electric conductivity.
Operate the P-54x only within the permissible ambient conditions and classifications
(p. 39).
