Checks Upon Actuator Receipt
•
Check that the model, the serial number of the actuator and the technical data
reported on the identification plate correspond with those of order confirmation
(Section 1.2).
•
Check that the actuator is equipped with the fittings as provided for by
order confirmation.
•
Check that the actuator was not damaged during transportation: if necessary
renovate the painting according to the specification reported on the
order confirmation.
•
If the actuator is received already assembled with the valve, its settings have
already been made at the factory.
•
If the actuator is delivered separately from the valve, it is necessary to check, and,
if required, to adjust, the settings of the mechanical stops (Section 3.4) and of
micro-switches (if any) (Section 3.5).
