3.1
Intended Use
The P-840.xxV is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor
use and use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the P-840.xxV is intended for the following applications:
■
Positioning of loads; see
■
Dynamic positioning
■
Vibration absorption
■
Force generation
Motion is along one axis.
The P-840.xxV is not intended for applications in areas where failure would result in
considerable risks for human beings or the environment.
The intended use of the P-840.xxV is only possible when completely mounted and
connected. The P-840.xxV must be operated with
from PI. The
electronics are not in the scope of delivery of the P-840.xxV.
The P-840.xxV may not be used for purposes other than those stated in this user manual.
The P-840.xxV may only be used in compliance with the technical specifications and
instructions in this user manual.
3.2
General Safety Instructions
Temperature changes and compressive stress can induce charges in the P-840.xxV piezo
actuator. After disconnection from the electronics, the piezo actuator can remain charged for
several hours. Touching live parts of the P-840.xxV can result in minor injury from electric
shock.
►
Do not open the P-840.xxV.
If the protective earth conductor is missing or not properly connected, risk of dangerous
touch voltages on the P-840.xxV in the event of malfunction or failure of the system. If touch
voltages exist, touching the P-840.xxV can lead to minor injury from electric shock.
►
Connect the P-840.xxV to a protective earth conductor before startup.
►
Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
►
If the protective earth conductor has to be temporarily removed (e.g., for modifications),
reconnect the P-840.xxV to the protective earth conductor before restarting.
Mechanical forces can destroy the P-840.xxV.
►
Avoid knocks that affect the P-840.xxV.
►
Do not drop the P-840.xxV.
►
Avoid torques, bending forces, and lateral forces on the tip of the P-840.xxV.
►
Do not exceed the
maximum permissible loads (p. 28)
.
The P-840.xxV is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety
standards. Improper use of the P-840.xxV may result in personal injury and/or damage to the
P-840.xxV.
►
Use the P-840.xxV only for its intended purpose and when it is in perfect condition.
►
Read the user manual.
►
Eliminate any malfunctions that may affect safety immediately.
The operator is responsible for installing and operating the P-840.xxV correctly.
