Labeling  Type  Function 
OFL 
LED 
Yellow/off 
Overflow state: 
  Yellow: Overflow condition, i.e. the amplifier is near its range 
limit. 
  Off: No overflow condition 
When the OFL LED comes on, a zero-point adjustment of the 
sensor can be necessary. See p. 17 and the E-509 User Manual 
(PZ77E) for details. 
SERVO ON/OFF 
1, 2 and 3 stand 
for 
the channel 
numbers 
Toggle switch  Switch for the servo mode selection of the corresponding channel: 
  ON: Servo mode is switched on (closed-loop operation) 
  OFF: Servo mode is switched off (open-loop operation) 
See also “Starting Operation” on p. 17. 
ZERO 
Trim potentiometer  A trimmer adjustment tool can be used on the ZERO potentiometer 
for a zero-point adjustment of the sensor. A zero-point adjustment 
can be necessary after longer operation (changes in temperature) 
or if the load on the piezo stage is changed. 
SENSOR 
LEMO 
ERA.0S.304.CLL 
Input for the signals of the strain gauge sensor of the piezo stage.
