2.1
Tests to be Carried Out When the Actuator
is Received
If the actuator is received already mounted on the valve, all the below operations should
have already been performed during valve/actuator assembly.
•
Check that the display is active.
•
Turn the handwheel until the valve is in a completely open position.
•
Check that the display reads 100%, which indicates that the valve is completely open.
•
Rotate the handwheel clockwise and bring the valve to a completely closed position.
•
Check that the display reads 0%, which indicates that the valve is completely
closed. If the test result is satisfactory, the actuator has already been adjusted
and one can proceed with the electrical connection. If the actuator is delivered
separately from the valve or the above procedure shows that the position is
incorrect, all operations described in this manual must be carried out.
•
Check that no damage has occurred during transport. Pay particular attention
to the push-buttons, the display area glass, and the selector.
•
Check the information on the nameplate. In particular, check the serial number
and performance data (nominal torque, operation speed, protection class, motor
supply voltage, etc.) and verify that this data matches the data on the display
(see Section 10, View routines).
Make sure all accessories have been received with the shipment as described in the
delivery documentation.
2.2
Storage Procedure
NOTICE
Not following the procedures according to this document will invalidate the product warranty.
2.2.1
General
The actuator leaves the factory in perfect condition, guaranteed by an individual test
certificate. In order to maintain these characteristics until the actuator is installed
on-site, proper procedures must be followed for preservation during the storage period.
XTE3000 actuators are weatherproof to IP66/68; this condition can only be maintained if
the unit is correctly installed on-site and if the actuator was correctly stored. The standard
plastic plugs used to close the cable entries are not weather-proof; their only function is to
prevent the entry of foreign objects during transport.
