General Safety Instrucons
Intended Use
The electronics are a laboratory device as
dened by DIN EN 61010-1. They are intended
for indoor use and use in an environment which
is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
According to their design, the electronics are
intended for operang posioners from PI.
The electronics may only be used in compliance
with the technical specicaons and instruc-
ons in this user manual. The user is responsi-
ble for process validaon.
The electronics may not be used for purposes
other than those stated in the user manual. The
electronics may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualied personnel.
Installing
Unsuitable cables can cause damage to the
electronics and can aect the performance of
the posioner.
XUse genuine PI parts only for connecng
the posioner to the electronics.
XIf you need longer cables, use extension
cables from PI.
Startup
The collision of a moving part at the end of the
travel range, or with an obstacle, as well as high
acceleraons, can cause damage to or consi-
derable wear on the stage.
XDo not deacvate the limit switch evalua-
on by the electronics.
XStop the axis in me.
XIf you use a system for closed-loop opera-
on: Avoid moon in open-loop operaon.
XSet the velocity and acceleraon accor-
dingly.
XFor drives without self-locking, make sure
that unexpected moon is not possible.
Unsuitable sengs can cause the posioner to
oscillate. Oscillaon can damage the posioner
and/or the load xed to it.
XIf the stage is oscillang (unusual operang
noise), switch o servo mode or the elec-
tronics immediately.
XChange the parameter sengs of the elec-
tronics (see manual).
XIf there is any oscillaon during the refe-
rence move, follow the instrucons under
„Troubleshoong“ in the manual.
Overheang can result in damage to the stage.
XAcvate I2t monitoring if supported by the
electronics.

Startup
The PIMikroMove PC soware is recommended
for inial startup. You can temporarily or per-
manently adapt the sengs of the electronics
to your applicaon with PIMikroMove and start
inial moon
CAUTION
If a protecve earth conductor is not pro-
perly connected, touching the electronics
in the case of malfuncon can result in
minor injuries from electric shock.
XConnect the electronics to a protec-
ve earth conductor before startup.
XDo not remove the protecve earth
conductor during operaon.
XPay aenon to the applicable
standards for the protecve earth
conductor connecon.
