General Notes on Installing
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-587 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-587's D-sub
panel plugs can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can be
destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
Do
not
open the P-587.
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 out the connecting cables while the positioner or the electronics are in
operation.
Touching the contacts in the D-sub panel plugs can lead to an electric shock (max. 130 V DC)
and minor injuries.
Do
not
touch the contacts in the D-sub panel plugs of the P-587 or the connecting cables
connected to them.
Use screws to secure the positioner's connecting cables from being pulled out of the
positioner and electronics.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to incorrect handling!
An impermissible mechanical load on the motion platform of the P-587 can cause damage to
the piezo actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-587 as well as loss of accuracy.
Do
not
touch any sensitive parts (e.g., motion platform) when handling the P-587.
