5.1 General Notes on Installation
CAUTION
Dangerous voltage and residual charge on piezo actuators!
The P-73x is driven by piezo actuators. Temperature changes and compressive
stresses can induce charges in piezo actuators. After being disconnected from the
electronics, piezo actuators can also stay charged for several hours. Touching or
short-circuiting the contacts in the connector of the P-73x can lead to minor injuries.
In addition, the piezo actuators can be destroyed by an abrupt contraction.
 Do not open the P-73x.
 Discharge the piezo actuators of the stage before installation:
Connect the stage to the switched-off PI controller, which is equipped with an
internal discharge resistor.
 Do not pull out the connector from the electronics during operation.
For stages with Sub-D connector:
Touching the contacts in the connector can lead to an electric shock (max.
130 V DC) and minor injuries.
 Do not touch the contacts in the connector.
 Secure the connector of the stage with screws against being pulled out of the
controller.
