About this Document
Symbols and Typographic Conventions
The following symbols and typographic conventions are used in this user manual:
CAUTION
Dangerous situation
If not avoided, the dangerous situation will result in minor injury.
Actions to take to avoid the situation.
NOTICE
Dangerous situation
If not avoided, the dangerous situation will result in damage to the equipment.
Actions to take to avoid the situation.
INFORMATION
Information for easier handling, tricks, tips, etc.
Figures
For better understandability, the colors, proportions, and degree of detail in illustrations can deviate
from the actual circumstances. Photographic illustrations may also differ and must not be seen as
guaranteed properties.
Safety
Intended Use
The P-725 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.
Based on its design and realization, the P-725 is intended for positioning and shifting microscope
objectives in one axis.
The P-725 Z drive can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The specifications refer to a vertically
mounted Z drive.
The intended use of the P-725 is only possible in a completely assembled and connected state. The
P-725 must be operated with a suitable controller that is available from PI. The controller is not
included in the scope of delivery of the P-725.

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge on piezo actuators!
The P-725 is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive
stresses can induce charges in piezo actuators. After being disconnected from the
electronics, piezo actuators can also stay charged for several hours. Touching or
short-circuiting the contacts in the connector of the P-725 can lead to minor injuries.
In addition, the piezo actuators can be destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
Do not open the P-725.
Discharge the piezo actuators before installation:
Connect the piezo actuator to the switched-off PI controller.
Do not pull out the connector from the electronics during operation.
For P-725 with sub-D connector:
Touching the contacts in the connector can lead to an electric shock (max.
120 V DC) and minor injuries.
Do not touch the contacts in the connector.
Secure the connector of the piezo actuator with screws against being pulled out
of the controller.
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch
voltages can occur and there is a risk of electric shock. In the case of malfunction or
failure of the system, touching the P-725 can result in minor injuries.
Connect the P-725 to a protective earth conductor before startup.
Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
Use electrically conductive materials (e.g., screws and flat washers) for mounting
the protective earth conductor.
Make sure that the contact resistance is <0.1 Ωat 25 A at all connection points
relevant for mounting the protective earth conductor.
If the protective earth conductor has to be temporarily removed (e.g., for
modifications), reconnect the P-725 to the protective earth conductor before
starting it up again.
NOTICE
Unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the electronics.
Only use cables from PI for connecting the P-725 to the electronics.

Startup and Operation
General Notes on Startup and Operation
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers!
The use of the P-725 in environments that increase the electrical conductivity can
lead to the destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers. Electric flashovers
can be caused by moisture, high humidity, liquids and conductive materials such as
metal dust. In addition, electric flashovers can also occur in certain air pressure
ranges due to the increased conductivity of the air.
Avoid operating the P-725 in environments that can increase the electric
conductivity.
Only operate the P-725 within the permissible ambient conditions and
classifications (p. 25).
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator by continuously high voltage!
The constant application of high voltage to piezo actuators can lead to leakage
currents and flashovers that destroy the ceramic.
If the P-725 is not used, but the controller is to remain switched on to ensure
temperature stability:
Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the controller.
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillations can cause irreparable damage to the P-725. Oscillations are indicated by
a humming and can result from the following causes:
The load and/or dynamics of operation differ too much from the calibration
settings.
The P-725 is operated near its resonant frequency.
If you notice oscillations, stop the P-725 immediately.

INFORMATION
Systems are calibrated at the factory to achieve optimum performance. Replacing
the system components will cause a loss in performance when Z drives without
ID chip are used, or whose ID chip does not contain any calibration data, or when
Z drives with LEMO connectors or analog controllers are used.
Only P-725.xxD and P-725.xCA Z drives are equipped with an ID chip.
Note the assignment of the Z drive axis to the controller channel, which is given
by the calibration label of the piezo servo controller.
For systems without ID chip:
If the piezo servo controller or the Z drive has to be replaced, recalibrate the axis
displacement (see controller manual) or contact our customer service
department (p. 15).
Starting Up and Operating the P-725
Requirements
You have read and understood the safety precautions (p. 3).
You have read and understood the general notes on startup and operation (p. 13).
Starting up and operating the P-725
Follow the instructions in the user manual of the piezo controller used for startup and
operation of the P-725.
Discharging the P-725
The P-725 must be discharged before demounting. Demounting is necessary e.g., before cleaning or
transporting the P-725 as well as for modifications
Discharging a P-725 that is connected to the controller
In closed-loop operation:
1. Switch off the servo mode on the controller.
2. Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the controller.
In open-loop operation:
Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the controller.
Discharging a P-725 that is not connected to the controller
Connect the P-725 to the switched-off PI controller for 10 seconds.

Maintenance
NOTICE
Misalignment from loosening screws on the base body!
The P-725 is maintenance-free and precisely aligned.
Only loosen screws according to the instructions in this manual.
Do not open the P-725.
Cleaning the P-725
Requirements
You have discharged the piezo actuators of the P-725.
You have disconnected the P-725 from the controller.
Cleaning the P-725
Clean the surface of the P-725 with a cloth that is lightly dampened with a mild cleanser or
disinfectant (e.g., ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).
Do not do any ultrasonic cleaning.
Customer Service
For inquiries and orders, contact your PI sales engineer or send us an email ([email protected]).
If you have questions concerning your system, have the following information ready:
−Product and serial numbers of all products in the system
−Firmware version of the controller (if present)
−Version of the driver or the software (if present)
−Operating system on the PC (if present)
If possible: Take photographs or make videos of your system that can be sent to our customer
service department if requested.
