5.1 General Notes on Installation
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
The P-73x is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive stresses can
induce charges in piezo actuators. Piezo actuators can remain charged for several hours after
disconnecting the electronics. Touching or short-circuiting the contacts in the connector in the
P-73x can lead to minor injuries from electric shock. The piezo actuators can be destroyed by
an abrupt contraction.
 Do not open the P-73x.
 Discharge the positioner's piezo actuators before installing:
Connect the positioner to the switched-off PI electronics equipped with an internal
discharge resistor.
 Do not pull the plug connector out of the electronics during operation.
Positioners with D-sub plug connector:
Touching the contacts in the plug connector can lead to an electric shock (max. 130 V DC) and
minor injuries.
 Do not touch the contacts in the plug connector.
 Use screws to secure the positioner's connector against being pulled out of the electronics.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to incorrect handling!
An impermissible mechanical load on the platform of the P-73x can cause damage to the piezo
actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-73x as well as loss of accuracy.
 Do not touch any sensitive parts (e.g., platform) when handling the P-73x.
