PCB-Mount Version for OEMs The E-462.OE1 version is fully enclosed in a metal case and designed for mounting on circuit boards. All input connections are via 6 header pins located on the bottom. The PZT (piezo) high voltage output is via a coaxial cable with LEMO connector.
Introduction Observe the safety precautions given in this User Manual. The E-462 is a laboratory apparatus as defined by DIN EN 61010. It meets the following minimum specifications for safe operation (any more stringent specifications in the technical data table are, of course, also met): ■...
(http://www.pi.ws). Also keep and add all further information (e.g. extended instructions or Technical Notes) to the User Manual. Unpacking Unpack the E-462 Piezo Amplifier with care. Compare the contents against the items covered by the contract and against the packing list. The following components are included:...
For several D/A boards from National Instruments, PI offers a corresponding LabVIEW driver set which is compatible with the PI General Command Set (GCS), the command set used by all PI controllers. A further option includes the patented Hyperbit technology providing enhanced system resolution.
The E-462.00 and E-462.OE1 are not equipped with active discharge circuitry but have a 5·M-ohm, 3.9·nF RC network. Therefore, PZT charge and discharge times will differ. Installation and startup procedure depends on whether the E-462.00 or the E-462.OE1 is concerned. E-462.00 DANGER—HIGH VOLTAGE...
Start-Up 2.1.1 Front and Rear Panel Elements The E-462.00 piezo amplifier offers 1 channel with the following operating elements on the front panel: “DC-OFFSET” knob 1-turn potentiometer for DC offset (see “Control Signal” p. 8) “CONTROL INPUT” BNC Connection of control signal (see “Control socket Signal”...
Turn the “DC-OFFSET” knob fully counterclockwise (CCW). Make sure that voltage at “Control Input” is set to 0 V. Connect the E-462 to supply power. The connection is on the rear panel. Command the first motion of the piezo actuator by turning the “DC-OFFSET”...
2.1.4 Power Supply for E-462.00 The E-462.00 bench top unit includes a wall-plug power supply (E-660.PS) with interchangeable prong sets. Slide the appropriate prong set into the body until it clicks in place. Note that to remove a prong set it is necessary to press the plastic tab marked “Push”.
During operation, do NOT touch any part which might be connected to the HV output! Make sure that your actuator and pin 3 or 5 of the E-462.OE1 are connected to a protective earth conductor.
