Measures for preparation
We recommend regularly checking the actu-
ator and the prevailing storage conditions
during long storage times.
Storage instructions
− When the valve and actuator are al-
ready assembled, observe the storage
conditions for control valves. See associ-
ated valve documentation.
− Protect the actuator against external in-
fluences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
−
Protect the actuator against moisture and
dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of less
than 75 %. In damp spaces, prevent con-
densation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
−
Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
− Observe permissible temperatures (see
section 3.7).
− Do not place any objects on the actuator.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
− To keep elastomers in shape and to pre-
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
−
We recommend a storage temperature of
15 °C for elastomers.
−
Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions, and fuels.

can provide more detailed storage instruc-
tions on request.
4.4 Preparation for installation
Proceed as follows:
Î
Check the actuator for damage.
Î
Check to make sure that the type desig-
nation, material and temperature range
of the actuator match the ambient condi-
tions (temperatures etc.).
Î
Check the pressure gauge installed on
valve accessories to make sure it func-
tions.
Î
When the valve and actuator are al-
ready assembled, check the tightening
torques of the bolted joints (
u
AB 0100).
Components may loosen during trans-
port.
