The intended use of the P-62x is only possible in combination with suitable electronics (p. 15) that is available from PI. The electronics is not included in the scope of delivery of the P-62x. The electronics must provide the required operating voltages. To ensure proper performance of the servo control system, the electronics must be able to read out and process the signals from the capacitive sensors.

3 Product Description Adapter cable for models with LEMO plug connectors Product number Description P-895.1LDC Adapter cable LEMO to Sub-D 7W2 (m) for piezo actuator nanopositioning systems with capacitive sensors, 1 channel, length: 0.3 m. P-895.3LDC Adapter cable LEMO to Sub-D 25W3 (m) for piezo actuator nanopositioning systems with capacitive sensors, 3 channels, length: 0.3 m.
3 Product Description 3.7.3 Capacitive Sensors Except for the models P-62x.x0L, all P-62x are equipped with capacitive sensors. Capacitive sensors measure the position directly on the motion platform (direct metrology) and work without contact. Neither friction nor hysteresis interferes with the motion, which allows excellent linearity values to be achieved together with the high position resolution.
When handling the vacuum version of the positioner, attention must be paid to appropriate cleanliness. At PI, all parts are cleaned before assembly. Powder-free gloves are worn during assembly and measuring. In addition, the positioner is wipe cleaned afterwards and then shrink-wrapped twice in vacuum-compatible film.
Do not open the P-62x. Discharge the positioner's piezo actuators before installation: Connect the positioner to the switched-off PI controller, which is equipped with an internal discharge resistor. Do not pull the plug connector out of the electronics during operation.
NOTICE Damage due to unsuitable cables! Unsuitable cables can damage the P-62x and the electronics. Only use cables provided by PI for connecting the P-62x to the electronics. NOTICE Damage due to incorrectly tightened screws! Incorrectly tightened screws can cause damage.

5 Installation NOTICE Warping of the P-62x due to mounting on uneven surfaces! Mounting the P-62x onto an uneven surface can warp the P-62x. Warping reduces the accuracy. Mount the P-62x onto an even surface. The recommended evenness of the surface is ≤20 µm.

6 Startup and Operation Startup and Operation In this Chapter General Notes on Startup and Operation ..................31 Operating the P-62x ........................33 Discharging the P-62x ........................33 General Notes on Startup and Operation 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 on the P-62x in the case of malfunction or failure of the system.
Page 36
6 Startup and Operation NOTICE Reduced lifetime of the piezo actuator due to permanently high voltage! The permanent application of a high static voltage to piezo actuators leads to a considerable reduction in the lifetime of the piezo ceramic. When the P-62x is not used but the electronics remain switched on to ensure temperature stability, discharge the P-62x (p.
Before demounting (e.g., before cleaning and transporting the P-62x and for modifications) The P-62x is discharged via the internal discharge resistor of the controller from PI. Discharging an P-62x that is connected to the controller In closed-loop operation: 1. Switch off the servo mode on the controller.
