Transport, storage and packaging
4.1
Transport
.
For transport to place of installation, use sturdy packaging.
.
Do not attach ropes or hooks to the handwheel for the purpose of lifting by
hoist.
.
If multi-turn actuator is mounted on valve, attach ropes or hooks for the
purpose of lifting by hoist to valve and not to multi-turn actuator.
4.2
Storage
.
Store in well-ventilated, dry room.
.
Protect against floor dampness by storage on a shelf or on
a wooden pallet.
.
Cover to protect against dust and dirt.
.
Apply suitable corrosion protection agent to bright surfaces.
If multi-turn actuators are to be stored for a long time (more than 6 months),
the following points must be observed additionally:
.
Prior to storage: Protect bare surfaces, in particular the output drive parts
and mounting surface, with long-term corrosion protection agent.
.
Check for corrosion approximately every 6 months. If first signs of corro-
sion show, apply new corrosion protection.
4.3
Packaging
Our products are protected by special packaging for the transport ex works.
The packaging consists of environmentally friendly materials which can
easily be separated and recycled.
We use the following packaging materials: wood, cardboard, paper, and PE
foil. For the disposal of the packaging material, we recommend recycling
and collection centres.

Mounting to valve/ gearbox
.
Prior to mounting the multi-turn actuator must be checked
for damage. Damaged parts must be replaced by original
spare parts.
.
After mounting, check multi-turn actuator for damage to
paint finish. If damage to paint-finish has occurred after
mounting, it has to be touched up to avoid corrosion.
Mounting is most easily done with the valve shaft/ gearbox shaft pointing
vertically upward. But mounting is also possible in any other position.
The multi-turn actuator leaves the factory in position CLOSED (limit switch
CLOSED tripped).
.
Check if mounting flange fits the valve/ gearbox.
Spigot at flanges should be loose fit!
The output drive types B (figure A-1) or E (figure A-2) are delivered with
bore and keyway (usually according to DIN 3210).
