3-2 Notice
on
handling
Handle FHA-C series actuators with care, specifically:
(1) Do not apply impact or unnecessary excessive force to output flange of actuators.
(2) Do not put actuators on or in a location where the driver could easily fall.
(3) Do not plug the actuators directly into a commercial line power source.
This could burn out the actuator, potentially resulting in a fire and/or electrical hazard.
(4) The allowable temperature for storage is from –20ºC to +60ºC.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight for a long time and do not store
it in areas with widely fluctuating temperatures.
(5) The allowable relative humidity for storage is less than 80%.
Do not storage it in a highly humid place or in a place where temperature
changes excessively during the course of a day.
(6) Do not store units in locations with corrosive gas or particles.
3-3 Location
and
installation
3-3-1 Environment of location
The environmental conditions of the location must be as follows.
• Service temperature: 0ºC ~ 40ºC
When the actuator is installed in a closed space, the temperature in the space may be higher than the
atmosphere because of heat generation by the actuator. Design the closed space size, ventilation system,
and device locations so the ambient temperature near the actuator is always less than 40ºC.
• Service humidity:
20~80% relative humidity, without condensation
Make sure no water condensation occurs at the place where there is a large temperature change
in a day or due to frequent heat-and-cool cycles due to the operation of the actuator.
• Vibration:
less than 24.5m/sec
2
(2.5G) (10Hz~400Hz)
• Impact:
less than 294 m/sec
2
(30G)
• Make sure the actuator is in an area free from: dust, water condensation, metal powder, corrosive gas, water, water drops, and oil mist.
Do not install the actuator in corrosive gas environment.
Take notice that the protection degree of standard actuators is IP-44, that is, all parts, except the rotary sliding
parts (oil seal), of the actuators are protected against solid bodies of superior dimensions to 1mm, and against
the water sprays.
• Locate the driver indoors or within an enclosure. Do not expose it to the sunlight.
• Altitude:
lower than 1000m above sea level
