2.1 Preparation
2.1.1
Delayed Usage
If for any reason the actuator is not to be installed immediately, Bettis recommends the
following procedures. Failure to comply, with recommended procedures, could lead to
actuator malfunction and possibly void the warranty. For storage procedures exceeding
one year, consult Bettis for further recommendations.
As shipped from the factory, the Bettis SMART EHO actuator is an inherently weatherproof
unit, providing that all compartment covers and cable entry plugs remain intact. The
actuator should be immediately stored in a clean, dry warehouse, free from vibration and
rapid temperature changes, until it can be installed and energized.
If the actuator must be stored outside, store it off of the ground at an elevation sufficient
to prevent it from being immersed in water or buried in snow. Check for any unpainted
or exposed metal surfaces and make sure they are protected with a coating of grease to
prevent any corrosion. Cover the actuator to prevent damage from site debris.
