INTRODUCTION, STORAGE, AND SAFETY INFORMATION:
INTRODUCTION
The RIFT® 400 Actuator is the first commercial
RIFT DRIVEN
®
product and is also the first Electric
Valve Actuator that can be configured to offer either the functionality of a part
-
turn electric valve
actuator, a direct acting solenoid or that of a multi
-
turn actuator. Correctly applied, configured,
installed, connected, commissioned and used the RIFT® 400 will provide trouble
-
free, reliable and
extremely energy efficient service. Energy consumption will be reduced by approximately 75%. This
actuator is sold as an up to 400Nm part turn electric actuator with the ability to upgrade its default
settings and features with the minimum disruption to the client or customer.
These IOM
’
s (Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions) are provided to offer advice and
information to installers and users of the RIFT® 400 to achieve reliable and trouble
-
free service. The
following symbols are used to indicate warnings:
Yellow warning triangle advises actions that MAY cause incorrect operation and non
-
adherence
to the warnings COULD result in product failure and potential personal injury and/or
consequential damage.
Red warning triangles advise actions that WILL cause incorrect operation and that non
adherence to the warnings WILL result in product failure and potential personal injury and/or
consequential damage.
STORAGE
Store in a well
-
ventilated and dry room. Actuators should be stored off the floor, either on a shelf or on a wooden
pallet, for example. Replace supplied transit plastic cable entry plugs with solid plugs and PTFE thread tape.
Do not store the Actuators with the covers or cable entry plugs removed, as no responsibility will be
accepted for on
-
site deterioration caused by the covers being removed.
SAFETY INFORMATION
All personnel working with the RIFT® 400 must be familiar with this Installation, Operation & Maintenance
instructions, and the safety recommendations are to ensure correct functionality of the
RIFT® 400
Electric
Actuator and to avoid personal injury or property damage that could occur from non
-
compliance to these
instructions and recommendations.
Always ensure that an electric actuator is completely isolated before removing the lid to carry out any
internal inspection or work. When connected electrically the
RIFT® 400
is capable of carrying lethal
voltages.
RIFT® 400
Electric Actuators operate with the use of live electricity. Only qualified electricians or
people instructed in accordance with electrical engineering, and familiar with local electrical
Installation requirements and health and safety directives should be involved in the connection of
these actuators.
