2. Safety
2.1. Intended Use
The E-500/E-501 system is a laboratory device according to DIN EN 61010. It is intended to
be used in interior spaces and in an environment which is free of dirt, oil and lubricants.
Corresponding to its design, the E-500/E-501 system is intended for driving capacitive
loads (e. g. piezo ceramic actuators).
The E-500/E-501 system must not be used for purposes other than those named in this
user manual. In particular, the E-500/E-501 system must not be used to drive ohmic or
inductive loads.
The E-500/E-501 system can be used for static as well as dynamic applications.
Capacitive sensors or strain gauge sensors must be used for closed-loop operation. PI
stages intended for closed-loop operation already have the corresponding sensors. Other
sensors can only be used with PI approval.
2.2. General Safety Instructions
The E-500/E-501 system is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized
safety standards. Improper use can result in personal injury and/or damage to the E-500/E-
501 system.
 Only use the E-500/E-501 system for its intended purpose, and only use it if it is in a
good working order.
 Read the user manual.
 Immediately eliminate any faults and malfunctions that are likely to affect safety.
The operator is responsible for the correct installation and operation of the E-500/E-501
system.
The E-500/E-501 system comes preinstalled and preconfigured. Removing modules from
the chassis can result in personal injury and/or damage to the E-500/E-501 system.
 Only remove modules from the chassis when you are authorized and have the
corresponding qualifications.
 Before removing modules from the chassis, remove the E-500/E-501 system from the
power source by pulling the power plug.
