Warnings for actuators in general

WARNING! Pinching during operation!
Risk of injury by pinching of body parts!

• Never enter fingers, hands or other body parts into the opening of the valve when the actuator is active. CAUTION!

Non-compatible actuator!
Faulty opening/closing or increased wear due to non-observance of the valve and actuator specifications.

• Observe the specifications for the valve and actuator.
• Only install the actuator intended for the valve.

WARNING! Moving parts of the manual override!
During operation, body parts must not be introduced into the movement radius of the manual override Observe the movement radius of the manual override.

Warnings for electric actuators

WARNING! Risk of injury or damage.
Possible electric shocks or damage to the actuator by short circuit.

• Connect the actuator only according to the connection diagram of the instruction manual.
• Connect wire only via the included cable glands.
• The available protective earth (PE) must be connected to the main circuit board and 2.5 cm longer than the power lines (last contact in case of failure of the cable gland).
• Use insulated ring terminals suitable for the diameter of the connection wires (for 0.5 – 1.5 mm2 wires, ring diameter 0.5 cm).

WARNING! Risk of injury due to faulty power supply!
Do not connect faulty or mixed power potentials or power sources.

• Either connect 230 VAC or 24 VDC (depending on the actuator type) to the return relay.
• Make sure that the power supply is only provided from a single power source.

WARNING! Risk of injury or damage when the lid is removed!
Observe special safety measures prior to removing or opening the actuator lid.

• If possible, always detach the plugs for the infeed and control power.
• Only use insulated tools for adjustment activities on actuators connected to the power supply.
• Do not reach into movable components while the actuator is operating.
• Do not touch ESD sensitive components and take precautions if necessary.

CAUTION! Damage or short circuit of the actuator due to water ingress!
Prevent moisture or foreign bodies from entering the actuator.

• Mount the cable routing, so it does not point upwards.
• Equip pin connectors with gaskets.
• Regularly check the correct position and functioning of all gaskets.

NOTICE! Signal error and premature component wear!
Repeated drive to the set position if the position signal is not permanent.

• Maintain the signal for the drive to the position also after reaching the set position.
• To prevent signal loss, the OPEN/CLOSE inputs can be connected as changeover contacts.

WARNING! Danger from rotating emergency manual override!
The inserted emergency manual override may perform dangerous rotating movements if the actuator is activated unintentionally.

• During the use of the emergency manual override, switch off the power of the actuator by removing the device plug.
• When not in use, remove the emergency manual override from the actuator.

Warnings for pneumatic actuators

CAUTION! Incorrect connection!
With incorrect connection, control air can escape uncontrolled, which would impede the function of the pneumatic actuator.

• Follow the instructions for correct connection in the instruction manual.
• The control air connections are marked on the actuator.
• Prevent the uncontrolled escape of the control air by correct connections.

CAUTION! Poor control air quality!
Premature wear due to insufficient control air quality.

• Observe the poisoning and impurity of the control air according to ISO 8573-1.

CAUTION! Clogged openings!
Clogging of the connection openings (ventilation and exhaust openings) can obstruct the movement of the actuator.

• Use filter elements to prevent unconnected control connection openings from collecting dirt.

WARNING! Unintended movement of the actuator!
Risk of injury by crushing. Install and uninstall the actuator after disconnecting the control air lines and while in the safety position.

WARNING! Pre-loaded springs!
Risk of injury by components jumping out. Actuators with FC and FO function must not be opened or disassembled by customers.
