6.1 General Notes on Start-Up and Operation
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch
voltages can occur and there is a risk of electric shock. In the case of malfunction or
failure of the system, touching the P-73x can result in minor injuries.
 Connect the P-73x to a protective earth conductor (p. 19) before start-up.
 Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
 If the protective earth conductor has to be temporarily removed (e.g. for
modifications), reconnect the P-73x to the protective earth conductor before
starting it up again.
NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers!
The use of the P-73x in environments that increase the electrical conductivity can
lead to the destruction of the piezo actuator by electric flashovers. Electric flashovers
can be caused by moisture, high humidity, liquids and conductive materials such as
metal dust. In addition, electric flashovers can also occur in certain air pressure
ranges due to the increased conductivity of the air.
 Avoid operating the P-73x in environments that can increase the electric
conductivity.
 Only operate the P-73x within the permissible ambient conditions and
classifications (p. 40).
