Piezo Posioners
Short Instrucons
P-5xx / P-6xx / P-7xx
These short instrucons contain an overview of the most important safety informaon and hand-
ling instrucons for installing and operang piezo posioners with the above-menoned product
numbers (x: any number).
Subject to change. These short instrucons are superseded by any new release. The latest respec-
ve release is available for download on our website.
The acons during installaon, startup, operaon, and maintenance require addional informaon
from the manuals of the posioner and/or the electronics.
Manuals may be tled as follows: "User Manual", "Technical Note".

Intended Use
The posioner is a laboratory device as dened
by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use
and use in an environment that is free of dirt,
oil, and lubricants.
The posioner is designed for ne posioning
as well moving smaller objects quickly and
precisely. The posioner is not intended for
applicaons in areas where failure would be
a considerable risk for people or the environ-
ment.
It is only possible to use the posioner as inten-
ded when completely installed and connected,
and in conjuncon with suitable electronics.
The posioner may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualied personnel.
Electrical Dangers
Temperature changes and compressive stress
can induce charges in the posioner. Aer
disconnecon from the electronics, the piezo
actuators can remain charged for several hours.
Touching charged parts can result in minor
injuries from electric shock.
XDo not touch the contacts in the connector.
XBefore mounng, connect the posioner
to the switched-o electronics for a few
seconds to discharge it.
XSecure the connectors with screws against
being pulled out.
XDo not pull connectors out of the electro-
nics during operaon.
If a protecve earth conductor is not properly
connected, touching the posioner in the case
of malfuncon can result in minor injuries from
electric shock.
XOperate the posioner only with a properly
connected protecve earth conductor.
XDo not remove the protecve earth con-
ductor from the posioner during opera-
on.
XPay aenon to the applicable standards
for aaching the protecve earth conduc-
tor .
Moisture, liquids, and electrically conducve
materials (e.g., metal dust) that penetrate the
posioner can destroy the posioner's piezo
actuator.
XOperate the stage only under the permissi-
ble ambient condions (see manual).
XDo not operate a vacuum-compable posi-
oner during evacuaon.
Excessively high or wrongly connected
operang voltages can cause damage to the
posioner.
XPay aenon to the operang voltage ran-
ge of the posioner (see manual).
XPay aenon to the correct pin assignment.
Connuously high voltages can reduce the
lifeme of the posioner.
XKeep the maximum operang voltage as
low as possible during operaon.
XDischarge the posioner appropriately
when it is not in use.
Mechanical Dangers
Mechanical forces can destroy the posioner.
XAvoid shocks and drops.
XPay aenon to the maximum permissible
forces (see manual).
XDo not pull the connecng cable of the
posioner out of the electronics during
operaon.
XIf the connecng cable is accidentally pul-
led out of the posioner during operaon:
Switch o the electronics before you recon-
nect the posioner.
XShip the posioner in the original packaging
only.
Incorrectly ed screws can cause damage.
XDo not allow screw heads to protrude.
XSelect the screw length according to the
depth of the mounng holes.
Collisions can damage the posioner, the load
to be moved, and the surroundings.
XMount the posioner and the load so that
the load cannot get jammed or blocked, or
collide with objects in the workspace.
Unsuitable mounng could warp the posioner
and reduce the accuracy.
XMount the posioner on a at surface with
similar thermal expansion properes (see
manual for recommended atness).
General Safety Instrucons

MOTION | POSITIONING
Uncontrolled oscillaon can damage your appli-
caon or the posioner.
XIf oscillaon occurs, switch o the servo
mode or stop the posioner immediately.
XCheck the sengs of the servo control
parameters (see manual).
Handling Vacuum-Compable Products
If the posioner is vacuum-compable, aen-
on must be paid to cleanliness.
XTouch the posioner only with powder-free
gloves.
XIf necessary, wipe the posioner clean.
NOTICE!
Damage due to improper handling.
XHold the posioner only on the outsi-
de of the base body.
If the posioner was delivered with a transport
safeguard:
1. Lay the posioner onto a surface with the
supporng frame facing downwards.
2. Unscrew the four plasc screws.
3. Remove the plasc screws and the suppor-
ng frame.
1. Mount the posioner using the mounng
holes provided.
2. Ax the load to the mounng holes provi-
ded.
3. Check that the posioner and the load are
xed rmly.

CAUTION!
If there is no protecve earth conductor,
there is a danger of minor injuries from
electric shock.
XOperate the stage only with a
properly connected protecve earth
conductor.
XPay aenon to the applicable stan-
dards for aaching the protecve
earth conductor .
Suitable Protecve Earth Conductor
▪▪Cross secon of the protecve earth con-
ductor ≥0.75 mm².
Connecng via Separate Protecve
Earth Connector
If a separate protecve earth connector is
available, it must be used.
1. Aach a suitable cable lug to the protecve
earth conductor.
2. Use the screw set supplied to aach the
cable lug of the protecve earth conductor
to the protecve earth connector.
3. Tighten the M4 screw with at least three
turns and a torque of 1.2 to 1.5 Nm.

Connecon via Mounng Holes
If a separate protecve earth connector is not
available, the stage has to be mounted on an
electrically conducve surface connected to a
protecve earth conductor.
1. Place a safety washer on each mounng
screw.
2. To x the stage to underlying surface, use
suciently conducve screws in all moun-
ng holes.
3. Tighten the mounng screws with at least
three turns (for torque, see manual).
