carried out in accordance with instrumentation professional standards, and
in particular:
Warnings
CAUTION!
Piping:
When commissioning a new or modified installation, the piping must be
blown through before connecting the actuator in order to clear the circuit
of any impurities, which cannot be avoided during construction (iron filings,
scale, Teflon, welding flux, etc.).
Electric wiring: The power supply voltage and the value of the control
signal must be chec- ked before final connection.
AMTRONIC R001300 box:
The cover and housing of the unit must be properly closed to protect the
contents from humidity and, generally, from the outer atmosphere
(”aggressive” atmosphere, dust, etc.) and any incidents which could damage
the internal parts.
Connection by cable gland:
When the electric connection is made through a cable gland, make sure
that:
- the cable gland is suitable for the cable diameter
- the cable gland is correctly tightened on the cable
- if just one of the 2 cable glands is used, replace the unused cable gland
with a watertight plug or seal the cable gland
The pneumatic connection must be made according to the product specifications.
(see V - 1 Pneumatic connection)
Never exceed the values indicated in this manual!
This box is an electrical device which contains pressurized gas components. As such, it can present a dan-
ger for property, or even personnel. Exceeding the values shown can cause damage.
Never uncouple or disassemble the AMTRONIC unit or its accessories when pressurized or powered.
Always make sure that the actuator reservoirs are decompressed by actioning the push- buttons on the pilot emer-
gency controls before disassembling the distributor, its solenoid valves or the unit itself. Also, always check that the
power supply cables are disconnected from their source before dismantling.
During workshop or on - site verifications, the valve associated with the actuator and its AMTRONIC unit
shall be operated from full opening to full closing position.
This operation may be a highly significant injury hazard for personnel if the safety steps required are
not taken to prevent access between the disc and the seat.
