Introduction

1.2 Prescribed Use

The E-517 Digital Piezo Controller Operation Module is designed for

installation in E-500/E-501, E-471 and E-481 modular analog piezo control

electronics. It makes possible controlling the analog piezo control

electronics via PC interface (TCP/IP, USB, RS-232, IEEE 488 (GPIB)),

trackball, macro programming and wave generator output. The LCD display

shows the current voltage and position values.

The E-517 may only be used for applications suitable according to the

device specifications. Operation other than instructed in this User Manual

may affect the safeguards provided.

The E-517 is a laboratory apparatus as defined by DIN EN 61010. It meets

the following minimum specifications for safe operation (any more stringent

specifications in the

technical data table (p. 70) are, of course, also met):

■ Indoor use only

■ Altitude up to 2000 m

■ Temperature range 5°C to 40°C

■ Max. relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C, decreasing

linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C

■ Line voltage fluctuations not greater than ±10% of the line voltage

■ Transient overvoltages as typical for public power supply

Note: The nominal level of the transient overvoltage is the standing surge voltage according to

the overvoltage category II (IEC 60364-4-443).

■ Degree of pollution: 2

1.3 Safety Precautions

WARNING—READ INSTRUCTION

Install and operate the E-517 digital piezo controller operation module

only when you have read the operating instruction. Keep the instruction

readily available close to the device in a safe place. When the

instruction is lost or has become unusable, ask the manufacturer for a

new copy. Add all information given by the manufacturer to the

instruction, e.g. supplements or Technical Notes.
