5.3 Storage
All the actuators RTQS leave the factory in perfect condition. Performances of each unit are guaranteed by
individual test and data reported on a specific test certificate issued for each unit.
In order to maintain these characteristics until the RTQS actuator is installed on site, proper attention must be
observed for preservation during the storage period.
If the actuator needs storage, before installation follow these steps:
-
Place it on a wood surface pallet or on metallic support, so that they are not in direct contact with the ground
,
in order not to deteriorate the area of valve coupling, later it must be packed with appropriate covering.
-
Make sure that plastic plugs are present on the pneumatic and electrical connections (if present).
-
Check that the limit switch box (if any) is properly closed.
If the storage is long-term or outdoor:
-
Keep the actuator protected from direct weather or ambient conditions using suitable means.
-
If the entries should remain exposed to the ambient, replace plastic plugs of pneumatic and electrical
connections (if any) with metal plugs that guarantee perfect tightness.
5.4 Requirements of Stability
-
Conditions in which the machinery meets the requirement of stability during use, transportation, assembly,
dismantling when out of service, testing or foreseeable breakdowns, are shown in Fig.3a and 3b.
-
The actuator must be put, with extreme caution, in a right position on a plane surface and with adapted
capacity to the load to support.
Warning
Do not use the eye bolts of the actuator for lifting the valve-actuator package.
5.5 Interface document and dimensional drawing
Pneumatic diagrams, wiring diagrams, dimensional drawing, instruction manual and safety manual (when
request) are furnished with document accompanying the actuator.
