....................... 29 Old Equipment Disposal About this Document This document contains the information needed for the intended use of the N-331 (hereinafter also referred to as “drive”). Basic knowledge of servo systems, drive technologies and suitable safety measures is assumed.
Safety Intended Use The N-331 PICMAWalk drive 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. Based on its design and realization the N-331 is intended for positioning, adjusting and shifting loads on one axis at various velocities.
Do not open the drive. Discharge the piezo actuators of the drive before installation: Connect the drive to the switched-off PI electronics, which is equipped with an internal discharge resistor. Do not pull out the connector from the electronics during operation.
