Safety instructions
1.1
Range of application
AUMA actuators are designed for the operation of industrial valves,
e.g. globe valves, gate valves, butterfly valves and ball valves.
For other applications, please consult us. The manufacturer is not liable for
any possible damage resulting from use in other than the designated appli-
cations. Such risk lies entirely with the user. Observance of these operation
instructions is considered as part of the controls’ designated use.
1.2
Commissioning
(electrical connection)
During electrical operation, certain parts inevitably carry lethal voltages.
Work on the electrical system or equipment must only be carried out by a
skilled electrician himself or by specially instructed personnel under the
control and supervision of such an electrician and in accordance with the
applicable electrical engineering rules.
1.3
Maintenance
The maintenance instructions must be strictly observed, otherwise a safe
operation of the multi-turn actuator/ the controls is no longer guaranteed.
1.4
Warnings and notes
Non-observance of the warnings and notes may lead to serious injuries or
damage. Qualified personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all warnings
and notes in these operation instructions.
Correct transport, proper storage, mounting, and installation, as well as
careful commissioning are essential to ensure a trouble-free and safe oper-
ation.
The following references draw special attention to safety-relevant proce-
dures in these operation instructions. Each is marked by the appropriate
pictograph.
This pictograph means: Note!
“Note” marks activities or procedures which have major influence on the
correct operation. Non-observance of these notes may lead to consequen-
tial damage.
This pictograph means: Electrostatically endangered parts!
The printed circuit boards are equiped with parts which may be damaged or
destroyed by electrostatic discharges. If the boards need to be touched
during setting, measurement, or for exchange, it must be assured that
immediately before a discharge through contact with an earthed metallic
surface (e.g. the housing) has taken place.
This pictograph means: Warning!
“Warning” marks activities or procedures which, if not carried out correctly,
can affect the safety of persons or material.

Short description
AUMA actuators have a modular design. Motor and gearing are mounted in
a common housing.
The actuators are driven by an electric motor and controlled via the elec-
tronic controls AUMA MATIC Profibus DP. The electronic controls are
included in the scope of delivery.
