Safe operation of this product can only be guaranteed if it is properly installed, 

commissioned,  used  and  maintained  by  qualified  personnel  (see  Section  1.13)  in 

compliance with the operating instructions. General installation and safety instructions 

for pipeline and plant construction, as well as the proper use of tools and safety 

equipment must also be complied with.

See separate Installation and Maintenance Instructions for the control valve.

If the actuator is handled improperly or not used as specified, 

the resultant may:

 

-

  cause danger of the life and limb of the third party,

 

-

  damage the actuator and other assets belonging to the owner,

 

-

  hinder the performance of the actuator.

1.1  Wiring notes

Every effort has been made during the design of the actuator to ensure the safety of 

the user, but the following precautions must be followed:

i

)

  Maintenance personnel must be suitably qualified in working with equipment 

 

containing hazardous live voltages.

ii

)

  Ensure correct installation. Safety may be compromised if the installation of the 

 

product is not carried out as specified in this manual.

iii

)

  Isolate the actuator from the mains supply before opening the unit.

iv

)

  The actuator is designed as an installation category 

II

 product, and is reliant on 

 

the building installation for overcurrent protection and primary isolation.

v

)

  Wiring should be carried out in accordance with IEC 60364 or equivalent.

vi

)

  Fuses should not be fitted in the protective earth conductor. The integrity of the 

 

installation protective earth system must not be compromised by the disconnection 

 

or removal of other equipment.

vii

)

 A disconnecting device 

(

switch or circuit breaker

)

 must be included in the 

 

building installation. This must be in close proximity to the equipment and within     

 

easy reach of the operator.

 

-

  There must be a 3 mm contact separation in all poles.

 

-

  It must be marked as the disconnecting device for the actuator.

 

-

  It must not interrupt the protective earth conductor.

 

-

  It must not be incorporated into a mains supply cord.

 

-

  The  requirements  for  the  disconnecting  device  are  specified  in  IEC  60947

-

 

  and IEC 60947

-

3 or equivalent.

viii

)

 The actuator must not be located in such a way that the disconnecting device is 

 

made difficult to operate.
