4.1 Installation requirements
Prior to in tallation, make ure that the follow-
ing requirement are met:
– Proper voltage and control ignal re-
quired to operate the actuator are avail-
able.
– Electrical line are de-energized.
– Pipeline are depre urized and cold.
Choo e the attachment po ition of the linear
actuator o a to en ure the following:
– The actuator can be ea ily acce ed.
– There i ufficient pace to remove the cover
( ee "3 Dimen ion ").
– The actuator i protected again t exce ive
heat radiation.
– The ambient temperature i in the range
from -20 to +60 °C.
If in talled outdoor , the actuator mu t be pro-
tected with an additional cover, e.g. again t
humidity (rain, now), heat (direct unlight),
cold (fro t), exce ive draft, du t, etc.
When ambient temperature are ubjected to
trong fluctuation and if the humidity i high,
we recommend in talling a heating re i tor to
minimize the formation of conden ate in the
hou ing ( ee "8.1 Heating").
If in talled in an environment with a high pol-
lutant concentration, (e.g. in area with a high
traffic volume, indu trial area , near coa tal
region ), the external actuator part mu t be
made of non-corro ive material and be
coated with a pecial fini h.
4.2 Mounting position
The mounting po ition i arbitrary, however,
the linear actuator mu t not be vertically u -
pended.
When mounted with the actuator tem in hori-
zontal po ition, the yoke mu t be mounted
uch that it two rod are po itioned vertically
one on top of the other.
4.3 Attaching the actuator to a
control valve
On delivery, the actuator tem i extended to
the lower final po ition.
Prior to a embly, check the following:
– Doe the technical data of the linear actua-
tor match the application requirement ?
– I the valve complete (yoke on the actuator
or on the valve)?
– Are the coupling part aligned?
– I the linear actuator ready - with ring nut
and coupling part for attachment to the
valve?
