… 5 Transport and storage
Storing the device
Note
The storage data provided below assumes that the devices are
fully closed and thus comply with the IP rating stated in the
specification.
When devices are supplied, their IP rating is guaranteed. If the
devices have been tested or commissioned, the IP rating needs
to be guaranteed before they are put into storage.
The devices may be stored under moist and corrosive conditions
for a short time. The equipment is protected against external
corrosive influences. However, direct exposure to rain, snow,
etc., must be avoided.
The permissible storage and transport temperatures must be
observed.
Devices equipped with a heater are also protected by desiccant,
which is placed in the following locations where condensation
may be a problem:
Position sensor:
In connection chamber
Electronic unit
In electrical connection chamber
The desiccant guarantees sufficient protection for
approximately 150 days. It can be regenerated at a temperature
of 90 °C (114 °F) within 4 h.
Remove the desiccant prior to commissioning the actuator or
the electronics.
If you intend to store or transport the device for a prolonged
period (> 6 months), we recommend that you wrap it in plastic
film and add desiccant.
Protect uncovered metallic surfaces with an appropriate long-
term corrosion inhibitor.
The relevant long-term storage temperatures must be observed.

Installation
Safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life due to falling or toppling loads.
Risk of death or serious injury due to the device falling down
or toppling over!
• Standing under suspended loads is prohibited.
• Do not detach the hoisting equipment until installation is
complete.
• Only use the dedicated load pick-up devices (eyebolts) for
suspending the components.
Please observe the following safety instructions
• Only qualified specialists may mount and adjust the control
actuator, and make the electrical connection.
• When working on the actuator or the electronics always
observe the locally valid accident prevention regulations and
the regulations concerning the construction of technical
installations.
• Switch off the supply voltage and take precautions to
prevent unintentional switch-on.
Mounting
Actuator check
Before you start to install the actuator make sure that the
delivery status corresponds to the ordered status and to the
intended use.
• Check the oil level when installing the device in positions
other than IMB 3.
• Once the actuator is installed, fasten the vent valve in the
uppermost oil hole.
• Prior to commissioning the device, make sure that the motor
and the connection chambers are free of dirt, humidity and
corrosion.
