DANGER Danger of death due to high voltage. E-621.SR LVPZT Controller/Amplifier Modules generate voltages up to 130 V for driving LVPZTs which can cause death or serious injury. When working with these devices or using PZT products from other manufacturers we strongly advise you to follow general accident prevention regulations.
Add all information from the manufacturer such as supplements or technical notes to the user manual. If you give E-621.SR to a third party, also include this user manual as well as other relevant information provided by the manufacturer.

E-802 servo controller submodule is bypassed with J1 in position 2-3. Normally, you do not need to change jumper J1. Access to J1 requires removing the E-621.SR module from the chassis. See "Components and adjustment elements" on p. 18 for more information.
It is possible to command up to twelve E-621.SRs over a single RS-232 or USB interface from a single host PC. The E-621.SR connected to the RS-232 or USB link (the master) relays commands to the other units (slaves) on the network. Responses from the slaves are then relayed by the master back to the PC.

This must always be taken into consideration in an application. The recommended maximum range of the control input voltage for the E-621.SR amplifier module therefore is -2 V to 12 V, resulting in a piezo voltage range of -20 V to 120 V. A control input range of -3 V to 13 V is possible (results in -30 V to 130 V piezo voltage), but will reduce the actuator lifetime accordingly.
