5.6. E-506 Linearized Piezo Amplifier, Charge Control
DANGER
High Voltage!
The E-506 amplifier can output up to 130 V. Touching this High Voltage can result in serious
or even lethal injury due to electric shock.
 Only authorized and qualified personnel must install, operate, maintain and clean the E-
506 amplifier.
 Operate the piezo actuator on the “PZT” socket only when it is connected to a protective
earth conductor.
INFORMATION
Standard nanopositioning stages are not suitable for operation with the E-506.10 and cannot
be connected via an adapter!
See the E506T0002 Technical Note for a more detailed description of the E-506.10 charge-
controlled amplifier module.
