Installation
5.1
Storage and transportation
For storage and transportation the valve coupler should be packed protected from impacts and dampness.
Optimum protection is afforded by the original packaging.
In addition, the permissible ambient conditions must prevail (see datasheet).
5.2
Unpacking
Make sure that the valve coupler is undamaged. Damages should be reported to the mail or forwarding
agent as well as the supplier.
The consignment should be in compliance with the order and shipment documents. Check the following
items:
•
Quantity supplied
•
Device type and version in accordance with the type plate
•
Accessories (manual, etc.)
Keep the original packing if the device must be stored and shipped at a later date.
5.3
Mounting
The housing of the valve coupler with protection degree IP65 is provided for wall mounting. For mounting
use two screws (max. thread diameter 6 mm) for the through bores in the housing (see figure 5.1).
The place of installation should be well accessible for
•
mounting
•
electrical installation and cable routing
•
the six device LEDs should be visible for quick fault diagnosis
•
setting of simulation and hardware write protection switches.
The r.h. through bore for mounting the device is provided with a grounding plate at the side of
the screw head so that the device can be grounded directly via the fixing screw when selecting a
suitable place of installation.
When grounding the device via the fixing screw, ensure low-resistance connection with ground.
Otherwise ground via a separate grounding cable.
The mounting set F-TMC is available as accessory for pipe installation (see section 4.3).
In narrow spaces it may be convenient to make the electrical connections prior to the mounting
of the device, also because the PG9 cable glands for the valve connection are arranged very
close to each other and there may be insufficient space for using an open-end wrench.
An SW 19 socket wrench is available as installation accessory for the valve coupler to facilitate
screwing/unscrewing of the PG9 cable glands (see section 4.3).
To keep the protection degree IP65 of the housing, make sure when doing connection work that
unused cable glands are provided with the supplied blank inserts and that these cable glands
are tightened to seal.
