E-836.1G Piezo Amplifier PZ250E Version: 1.1.0 3
2.1 Intended Use
The E-836.1G is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended to be used in
interior spaces and in an environment which is free of dirt, oil and lubricants.
Corresponding to its design, the E-836.1G is intended for driving capacitive loads (e. g. piezo
ceramic actuators).
The E-836.1G must not be used for purposes other than those named in this user manual. In
particular, the E-836.1G must not be used to drive ohmic or inductive loads.
The E-836.1G can be used for static as well as dynamic applications.
2.2 General Safety Instructions
The E-836.1G is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.
Improper use of the E-836.1G may result in personal injury and/or damage to the E-836.1G.
Use the E-836.1G for its intended purpose only, and only when it is in perfect condition.
Read the user manual.
Immediately eliminate any faults and malfunctions that are likely to affect safety.
The operator is responsible for installing and operating the E-836.1G correctly.
Install the E-836.1G near the power source so that the power plug can be quickly and
easily disconnected from the mains.
Use the supplied components (power supply, adapter, power cord) to connect the E-
836.1G to the power source.
If one of the supplied components for connecting to the power source has to be
replaced, use a sufficiently dimensioned component.
If the protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages
can occur on the E-836.1G in the event of a malfunction or failure of the system. If there are
touch voltages, touching the E-836.1G can result in serious injury or death from electric shock.
Connect the E-836.1G to a protective earth conductor (p. 11) before starting.
Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.

4 Version: 1.1.0 PZ250E E-836.1G Piezo Amplifier
If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e.g., in the case of
modifications), reconnect the E-836.1G to the protective earth conductor before
restarting.
2.3 Organizational Measures
User Manual
Always keep this user manual together with the E-836.1G.
The latest versions of the user manuals are available for download on our website (p.
2).
Add all information from the manufacturer to the user manual, for example,
supplements or technical notes.
If you give the E-836.1G to a third party, include this user manual as well as other
relevant information provided by the manufacturer.
Do the work only if the user manual is complete. Missing information due to an
incomplete user manual can lead to serious or fatal injuries as well as damage to the
equipment.
Install and operate the E-836.1G only after you have read and understood this user
manual.
Personnel Qualification
The E-836.1G may only be installed, started, operated, maintained, and cleaned by authorized
and appropriately qualified personnel.
