General Notes on Installation
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-62x is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive stresses can
induce charges in piezo actuators. After disconnection from the electronics, piezo actuators
can remain charged for several hours. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the
connector of the P-62x can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can
be destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
Do
not
open the P-62x.
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
Damage due to unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the P-62x and the electronics.
Use cables provided by PI only to connect the P-62x to the electronics.
INFORMATION
Extension cables can reduce the positioning accuracy of the P-62x or affect sensor processing
by the electronics.
Do
not
use extension cables. If you need longer cables, contact our customer service
department (p. 39).
