BIFFI F01-2000 ELECTRIC ACTUATOR
INSTRUCTION AND OPERATING MANUAL
3�4 MOUNTING THE ACTUATOR ONTO
THEVALVE
Lubricate the valve stem.
Thoroughly clean the coupling surfaces of the
valve and actuator flanges, degreasing them
carefully since torque is transmitted by friction.
Lift the actuator with slings suitable for its
weight.

Max� weight
(kg)
WARNING
Never lift the valve/actuator assembly without
securing slings to both the valve and the actuator.
YES NO
Check the dimensions of the valve mounting
details, paying particular attention to the
protrusions of the valve stem in order to avoid
any axial thrusts to the internal parts of the
actuator or the valve when the screws are
tightened.
Place the actuator vertically on the valve stem.
Carry out the coupling operations (if necessary
with the help of manual operation); make sure
no mating parts are forced.

IMPORTANT
In case the actuator is supplied without stud bolts
and nuts the following materials must be used as
a minimum:
- ISO class 8.8 for studs bolts and nuts
or
- ASTM A 320 Grade L7 (or L7M) for studs bolts
- ASTM A 194 Grade 4 for nuts
3�5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before powering to the actuator check that the
supply voltage details on the nameplate are
correct for the plant. Access to terminals for
electrical connections and commissioning is
through the terminal cover, since all settings
are non-intrusive. The removal of any other
covers without Biffi’s approval will invalidate
the warranty.
Biffi will not accept any responsibility for any
damage or deterioration that may be caused.
IMPORTANT
All the accessories (in particular cable glands)
must be certified according to 94/9/EC Directive).
3�5�1 Identification of entries
Electric actuators series F01 2000 are equipped
with 4 entries (3 are standard the fourth is
supplied when requested).
With reference to the attached picture, the
thread form/size for entry is as follows:
3�5�2 Plants requirements
Protection devices (overcurrent breakers,
magneto-thermal switches or fuses) should
be provided on the plant at Customer care,
to protect the mains line in case of motor
overcurrent or loss of insulation between
phases and earth.
