General Notes on Installation
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
Temperature changes and compressive stresses can induce charges in the PL0xx/PDxxx piezo
actuator. After disconnection from the electronics, the piezo actuator can remain charged for
several hours. Touching the live parts of the PL0xx/PDxxx can result in minor injury from
electric shock.
Do
not
touch the piezo actuator unless it is discharged (p. 40).
When handling the piezo actuator, wear powder-free nitrile or latex gloves.
Keep the piezo actuator short-circuited (p. 41) when it is not connected to the electronics.
Do
not
disassemble the piezo actuator.
