2. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the piezo stage while it is energized. The capacitance sensor interface is designed to work with Aerotech stages and cannot be used with third party sensors. The position feedback input signal (Pin 22) has a range of -10 to 10 VDC and can be connected to a third-party sensor with DC output.

There is no reason to remove the cover or access the internal components. The QL does not have any user- configurable switches or jumpers. Internal fuses are not user-replaceable. N O T E : Having to replace a fuse indicates a more serious problem with the system or setup; consult Aerotech for assistance. Table 3-1: LED Description Description Turns green when power is applied.
The electrical power must be disconnected from the Ndrive QL while cleaning. Do not allow cleaning substances or other fluids to enter the Ndrive QL or to get on to any of the connectors. Avoid cleaning labels to prevent removing the label information. Chapter 3 www.aerotech.com...
