2.2 Safety Advice
Preliminary remarks
All the references to the manual have to be considered applicable also to environment and system that
use these actuators unless it's specified otherwise.
2.2.1 Introduction
ATTENTION: the non-observance of the indications stated in this manual or the inappropriate use
of the equipment by unqualified or unauthorized staff, can cause serious personal injuries or death
and damages to products and apparatus! The technical assistance office is at the complete
disposal; in case of doubts or problems you can contact us at
warnings are not observed and followed, the Certification and the Warranty of the actuator can be
invalidated.
2.2.2 Indications of Danger
For the safety of those in charge of the installation of the actuator, it's necessary to use safety
clothing and individual safety devices approved by the current provisions of the law and regulation
(e.g. Safety glass, gloves and safety insulating-shoes).
Always shut down the power to actuator before touching or proceeding with any intervention on it
like wiring /circuit of installation. Make sure that the electrical system to which the actuator will be
connected to has the adequate power and has the correct protection devices (e.g. Grounding, Life
safe). Always switch off the electrical supply before working on the actuator for open box
maintenance or part substitution.
Actuators are exclusively used for the operation of final control elements (valves, flaps, etc.). If they
are used for other purposes, people may be injured or the actuator may be damaged.
The responsible institution should take protective measures if the actuator is installed in an area
where non-authorized personnel might have access to it.
-
Metallic components can become hot at high ambient temperatures. In order to avoid injuries,
the operating personnel should use suitable gloves
-
Depending on the intended purpose actuators make swivelling movements to drive flaps,
valves etc. Improper operation of the actuator can endanger the operating person.
-
Oil which may have spilled during an oil change must be carefully cleared away to avoid
accidents. Waste oil must be disposed of according to local regulations. Make sure it does not
pollute the water supply
-
All installation and setting works as well as the electrical connection may only be carried out by
qualified persons.
-
Take care of safety rules and regulations for set-up of electric equipment while working at the
actuator. Prior to any work at electrical components switch off the voltage supply. Protect the
connection against inadvertent switching on.
