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. AUMA is not liable for any possi-
ble damages resulting from use in other than the designated applications.
Such risk lies entirely with the user.
Observance of these operation instructions is considered as part of the ac-
tuator’s designated use.
1.2 Short description
AUMA multi-turn actuators type SARV 07.1 - SARV 10.1 have a modular
design. Multi-turn actuators are driven by an electric motor and controlled
with the electronic controls AUMA VARIOMATIC, which are included in the
scope of supply. The limitation of travel is realised via limit switches in both
end positions. Torque seating is also possible in both end positions. The
type of seating is stated by the valve manufacturer.
1.3 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 con-
trol and supervision of such an electrician and in accordance with the appli-
cable electrical engineering rules.
Recommended fuses in mains: 16 A
1.4 Maintenance
The maintenance instructions (refer to page 28) must be observed, other-
wise a safe operation of the actuator is no longer guaranteed.
1.5 Warnings and notes
Non-observance of the warnings and notes may lead to serious injuries or
damages. 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 care-
ful commissioning are essential to ensure a trouble-free and safe operation.
The following refererences 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 cor-
rect operation. Non-observance of these notes may lead to consequential
damage.
This pictograph means: Electrostatically endangered parts (ESD)!
If this pictograph is attached to a printed circuit board, it contains 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.
1.6 Further notes
This pictograph means: Procedure may already be performed by
valve manufacturer !
If actuators are delivered mounted to a valve, this step has been done in the
valve manufacturer’s plant.
Setting must be checked during commissioning!
