Discharging the P-88x.x5
The P-88x.x5 must be discharged in the following cases:
When the P-88x.x5 is not in use but the electronics remain switched on to ensure
temperature stability
If the P-88x.x5 has become accidentally charged due to thermal or mechanical loading
If the connecting cable of the P-88x.x5 is accidentally pulled out of the electronics
during operation
Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 15).
You have read and understood the general notes on starting and operating (p. 23).
Tools and accessories
If the P-88x.x5 is not connected to the electronics:
Only for P-88x.x5
without
connector (condition as supplied):
−
10 k
Ω
discharge resistor (not included in scope of delivery); touchable parts must be
adequately insulated for the operating voltage range (p. 40) of the actuator
Only for P-88x.x5
with
connector (p. 21):
−
Electronics (p. 11) from PI or suitable shorting plug (available on request)
Discharging a P-88x.x5 connected to the electronics
Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the electronics.
Discharging a P-88x.x5 not connected to the electronics
If the P-88x.x5 does
not
have a connector:
1.
Ensure adequate protection against touching live parts.
2.
Short-circuit the stranded wires of the P-88x.x5 for at least a few seconds using a
10 k
Ω
discharge resistor
.
If the P-88x.x5 has a connector (p. 21):
Connect the voltage connector of the P-88x.x5 to the switched off PI electronics, which
has an internal discharge resistor, for at least a few seconds.
Alternative: Connect a suitable shorting plug with integrated discharge resistor to the
voltage connector of the P-88x.x5 for at least a few seconds.
