If a manual is missing or problems occur with downloading: Contact our customer service department (p. 39). Downloading manuals 1. Open the website www.pi.ws. 2. Search the website for the product number (e.g., P-621) or the product family (e.g., PIHera).
The P-62x can only be used as intended in conjunction with suitable electronics (p. 15) available from PI. The electronics are not included in the P-62x's scope of delivery. 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 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 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.
Damage due to unsuitable cables! Unsuitable cables can damage the P-62x and the electronics. Use cables provided by PI only to connect the P-62x to the electronics. INFORMATION Extension cables can reduce the positioning accuracy of the P-62x or affect sensor processing by the electronics.
5 Installation Fixing the P-62x and the Load NOTICE Mechanical overload of the platform! High torques and high loads can overload the platform of the P-62x when fixing the load. Mechanical overload can cause damage to the piezo actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-62x and lead to loss of accuracy.
Page 27
5 Installation NOTICE Distorting the P-62x when mounted on uneven surfaces! Fixing the P-62x onto an uneven surface can distort the P-62x. Distortion reduces the accuracy. Fix the P-62x onto an even surface. The recommended flatness 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 Decreased lifetime due to permanently high voltage! Applying a continuous high static voltage to piezo actuators reduces 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 discharge resistor inside the electronics from PI. Discharging a positioner connected to the electronics In closed-loop operation: 1. Switch off the servo mode on the controller.
