Safety

Intended Use

The P-725 scanner is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor
use and use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the P-725 is intended for positioning and shifting microscope
objectives in one axis.
The P-725 can be mounted horizontally or vertically. The specifications refer to a vertically
mounted P-725.
It is only possible to use the P-725 as intended when it is completely mounted and connected. It
must be operated with a suitable controller that is available from PI (p. 10). The controller is not
included in the scope of delivery of the P-725.
The P-725 may only be started, operated, maintained and cleaned by authorized and qualified
staff.

Safety Precautions

CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-725 is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive stress can
induce charges in piezo actuators. After disconnecting from the electronics, piezo actuators can
remain charged for several hours. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the connector of
the P-725 can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. In addition, the piezo actuators can be
destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
 Do not open the P-725.
 Discharge the piezo actuators before installing (p. 28).
 Do not pull the connector out of the electronics while it is operating.
For P-725 with D-sub connector:
Touching the contacts in the plug connector could lead to an electric shock (max. 120 V DC)
and minor injuries.
 Do not touch the contacts in the plug connector.
 Use screws to secure the P-725's connector against being pulled out of the controller.
