SMC Hydra RS-232, LAN L-509.0x1311V7 PC software is included in the scope of delivery of the controllers from PI. The operation of the controllers is described in the corresponding user manuals. Technical Features 3.8.1 Encoder The L-509.0x1300V7 models are not equipped with an encoder.
2. Compare the contents with the items listed in the contract and the packing list. 3. Before opening the vacuum packaging, check the packaging and the product – if visible – for signs of damage. If there is any sign of damage or missing parts, contact PI immediately.
Make sure that the screws are vacuum-compliant (e.g. including vent holes) NOTICE Cable break! A cable break leads to failure of the positioner. Install the positioner so that the cable is not bent too strongly or crushed. L-509 Vacuum-compatible positioner (1E-7 hPa) MP186E Version: 1.0.0...

Due to lack of surrounding air, heat dissipation from the motor is reduced significantly in a vacuum. Install the L-509 so that the application is not impaired by the dissipated heat. Avoid exceeding the allowed max. velocity of 5 mm/s. Operation within the allowed velocity range is automatically ensured by correct selection/detection of the product model in the motion control software.
Only mount the L-509 on surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion properties as the L-509. INFORMATION For mounting onto a surface, the L-509 has mounting holes for M4 screws in its base body. The number of holes available depends on the model: ...
Page 22
− For applications with large temperature changes: The surface should have the same or similar thermal expansion properties as the L-509 (e.g., surface made of aluminum). You have accounted for the space required to route cables without bending and according to regulations.

3. Insert the screws into all accessible mounting holes and tighten. 4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all available concealed mounting holes. 5. Check that the positioner is affixed firmly to the surface. L-509 Vacuum-compatible positioner (1E-7 hPa) MP186E Version: 1.0.0...
5 Installation Connecting the L-509 to the Protective Earth Conductor INFORMATION It is only necessary to connect the L-509 to the protective earth conductor when both of the following conditions are met: The load on the platform of the L-509 must be connected to the protective earth conductor, but it is not possible to connect the protective earth conductor directly to the load.
Page 25
2. Affix the cable lug of the protective earth conductor using the M4 screw on the protective earth connection of the L-509 as shown in the profile view. 3. Tighten the M4 screw with a torque of 1.2 Nm to 1.5 Nm.
5 Installation Affixing the Load to the L-509 NOTICE Impermissibly high load on the positioner! An impermissible high load impairs the motion of the platform and can damage the positioner. When considering the mass and mounting method of the load, pay attention to the specified maximum permissible forces that may act on the platform (p.
Page 27
2. Use the screws to affix the load on the selected mounting holes in the platform. 3. Check that the load is affixed firmly to the platform of the positioner. L-509 Vacuum-compatible positioner (1E-7 hPa) MP186E Version: 1.0.0...
Suitable tools for tightening the screws to the connections Connecting the L-509 to a Controller 1. Remove the ESD protection from all connections of the L-509. 2. Connect the cable(s) of the vacuum side to the corresponding connector(s) of vacuum feedthrough.
Due to lack of surrounding air, heat dissipation from the motor is reduced significantly in a vacuum. Install the L-509 so that the application is not impaired by the dissipated heat. Avoid exceeding the allowed max. velocity of 5 mm/s. Operation within the allowed velocity range is automatically ensured by correct selection/detection of the product model in the motion control software.

Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts. Before connecting the L-509, check whether a macro is defined as the startup macro in the controller, and cancel the selection of the startup macro if necessary.
You have read and understood the manual of the PC software used. The controller and the required PC software have been installed. All connections on the controller have been set up (see "Connecting the L-509 to the Controller" (p. 24) and the user manual of the controller).
Improper maintenance can result in misalignment and failure of the L-509. Only loosen screws according to the instructions in this manual. Performing a Maintenance Run Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the L-509, the following maintenance measures are required: Maintenance run The maintenance run serves to distribute the existing lubricant.
You have disconnected the positioner from the controller and the power supply. Cleaning the positioner If necessary, clean the surface of the positioner with a lint-free cleanroom cloth that has been dampened with clean isopropyl alcohol (99.9% or better).
