4 Unpacking Unpacking 1. Unpack the E-836.1G with care. 2. Compare the contents with the scope of delivery according to the contract and the delivery note. 3. Inspect the contents for signs of damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact our customer service department immediately (p.
5 Installing Installing General Notes on Installation Install the E-836.1G near the power source so that the power plug can be quickly and easily disconnected from the mains. Only use cables and connectors that meet local safety regulations.
Alternative: Sufficiently sized power cord Connecting the power supply to the E-836.1G Connect the power supply to the E-836.1G's 24 VDC connector. Connecting the Positioner Prerequisites When a signal source is connected to the Control In BNC socket: The signal source is switched off or its output is 0 V.
− Connecting the positioner Connect the voltage connection of the positioner to the PZT -30 to 130 V LEMO socket of the E-836.1G. Connecting the Control Input Voltage INFORMATION The control signal for the output piezo voltage is the sum of the following signals: Control input voltage at the Control In BNC socket ...
If the protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can occur on the E-836.1G in the event of a malfunction or failure of the system. If there are touch voltages, touching the E-836.1G can result in serious injury or death from electric shock.
The DC Offset potentiometer is turned fully counterclockwise. Switching on the E-836.1G Connect the power cord of the power supply with the power socket. The Power LED on the front panel shows the ready state of the E-836.1G: − Green: E-836.1G is ready for operation Off: E-836.1G is not ready for operation...

Check whether the analog drivers and the data acquisition board are working correctly. E-836.1G voltage When the internal temperature reaches ≥85° C the E-836.1G output is deactivated voltage output is deactivated and the positioner stops moving. When the internal temperature then drops to 75° C, the voltage output is switched on again automatically.

The recommended maximum range for the input voltage of the E-836.1G is therefore –2 to +12 V. This results in a piezo voltage range of – 20 to 120 V (in open-loop operation). The input voltage range can be expanded from –3 to +13 V (the piezo voltage is then in the range of -30 to +130 V), which however reduces the lifetime of the actuator.
