RECOMMENDATION
When taking the equipment to the installation location, transfer it in the original packaging. Unpack the
equipment at the installation location to avoid damage during transportation.
In the case of a valve/actuator mounted positioner, avoid transporting the assembly by holding the
positioner.
RECOMMENDATION
Model and specification of equipment are indicated on identification plate, located at the side part of the
housing. Check if supplied specification and model correspond to application requirements.
STORAGE
The following precautions should be observed when storing the equipment, especially for a long period:
(1) Select a storage area that meets the following conditions:
a) No direct exposition to rain, water, snow or sunlight.
b) No exposition to vibration and shocks.
c) Normal temperature and humidity (around 20°C / 70°F, 65% RH).
However, it can also be stored under the following temperature and humidity intervals:
●
Ambient Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (without LCD)* or -30°C to 80°C (with LCD)
●
Relative Humidity: 5% to 98% RH (@ 40°C)
(2) For equipment storage, use original factory package (or similar).
(3) If storing an already used Vivace equipment, dry every moist part and clean all connections that
was in contact with the process. Keep covers and connections closed and properly protected for its
specific application and requirements.
* Only for general use. For explosion proof version, follow product certification requirements.
INSTALLATION
Close the equipment caps correctly and ensure the correct assembly of the cable press, avoiding
clearances between the cable and the cable press that may favor moisture entry.
Close the connections unused, preventing moisture input that can generate low insulation and damage
to electronic circuits.
In moisture situations, damage caused to the equipment will NOT be covered by the warranty.
