General Notes on Installing

CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge in piezo actuators!
Temperature changes and compressive stress can induce charges in the P-88x/P-08x piezo
actuator. The piezo actuator can remain charged for several hours after disconnecting the
electronics. Touching the live parts on the P-88x/P-08x can result in minor injury from electric
shock.
 Do not touch the piezo actuator unless it is discharged (p. 39).
 When handling the piezo actuator, wear powder-free nitrile or latex gloves.
 Keep the piezo actuator short-circuited (p. 40) when it is not connected to the electronics.
