6 Starting and Operating
6.2 Operating the P­73x
 Follow the instructions in the manual for the electronics (p. 13) used for starting and

operating the P-73x.

6.3 Discharging the P­73x
The P-73x must be discharged in the following cases:
Before Installation

When the P-73x is not in use but the electronics remain switched on to ensure

temperature stability
Before demounting (e.g., before cleaning and transporting the P-73x and for

modifications)
The P-73x 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.
2. Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the controller.
In open-loop operation:
 Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the electronics.
Discharging a positioner not connected to the electronics
