2.1 Intended Use
The P-73x 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.
According to its design, the P-73x is intended for fine positioning as well as moving small objects
quickly and precisely. The specifications for the P-73x apply to horizontal mounting (standing on
a surface, not suspended). Depending on the version, moving is done as follows:
Model
P-73x.2xx
P-733.3xx
P-733.ZCx
The P-73x can only be used as intended in conjunction with suitable electronics (p. 13) available
from PI. The electronics are not in the P-73x'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.
