General Notes on Installation
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-763 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 from the electronics. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the P-763's
connectors could lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can be
destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
Do
not
open the P-763.
Discharge the P-763's piezo actuators before installing:
Connect the P-763 to the switched-off electronics from PI equipped with an internal
discharge resistor.
Do
not
pull the connectors out of the electronics during operation.
Touching the contacts in the connectors can lead to an electric shock (max. 130 V DC) and
minor injuries.
Do
not
touch the contacts in the connectors.
Use screws to secure the P-763's connectors against being pulled out of the electronics.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to incorrect handling!
An impermissible mechanical load on the platform of the P-763 can cause damage to the piezo
actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-763 as well as loss of accuracy.
Do
not
touch any sensitive parts (e.g., platform) when handling the P-763.
