Short-Circuiting the PL0xx/PDxxx
The PL0xx/PDxxx must be discharged (p. 40) and short-circuited before demounting (e.g.,
before cleaning and transportation of the PL0xx/PDxxx) as well as for modifications.
Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 17).
You have discharged the PL0xx/PDxxx and disconnected it from the electronics.
Tools and accessories
If no open stranded wires are accessible on the piezo actuator: Suitable conductive aid
for short-circuiting the piezo actuator that does not scratch the surface of the piezo
actuator (e.g., conductive rubber)
Short-circuiting the PL0xx/PDxxx
If bare stranded wires are accessible on the PL0xx/PDxxx:
Twist the stranded wires of the
discharged
piezo actuator with each other.
If no bare stranded wires are accessible on the PL0xx/PDxxx:
a)
If necessary, let the PL0xx/PDxxx cool down.
b)
Affix a suitable, conductive aid on the
discharged
piezo actuator that does not
scratch the surface of the piezo actuator (e.g., conductive rubber).
