General Notes on Installation

NOTICE
Unwanted changes in position when mounted vertically!
If the load exceeds the holding force of the L-406 when the drive is mounted vertically,
unwanted changes in the position of the platform will occur. Unwanted changes in the position
of the platform can damage the drive, the load or the surroundings.
 When the L-406 is mounted vertically, make sure that the installed load is lower than the
self-locking of the drive (see specification of the holding force in the "data table" (p. 43)).
NOTICE
Electrostatic hazard
Touching the pins on the connector of the L-406 can damage electrostatic-sensitive (also: ESD)
components of the L-406. For this reason, the L-406 is supplied with ESD protection on all
connectors.
 Remove the ESD protection from the connector only when you connect the L-406 to the
controller.
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.
NOTICE
Heating up of the L-406 during operation!
The heat produced during operation of the L-406 can affect your application.
 Install the L-406 so that your application is not affected by the dissipating heat.
INFORMATION
For optimum repeatability, all components must be connected firmly together.
