Indoor Storage
•
Ensure that the actuator is kept in a dry place, laid on a wooden pallet
(not directly on the floor surface) and protected from dust
•
In very humid environments, a moisture-absorbent desiccant packet should be
introduced in the motor enclosure (desiccant is not included in the actuator package)
3.2.2.2
Outdoor Storage
•
Ensure that the actuator is protected from potential environmental damage
(e.g. protect the actuator with a canvas tarp). Note that the environmental
temperature rating ranges from - 20 °C to +65 °C (-4 °F to 149 °F)
•
Place the actuator on a wooden pallet (or some other raised platform) such that it
is not in direct contact with the ground and is protected from dust
•
In very humid environments, a moisture-absorbent desiccant packet should be
introduced in the motor enclosure (desiccant is not included in the actuator package)
•
If the actuator is supplied with standard plastic plugs, remove them from the cable
entries and replace them with weather-proof plugs
