2.1 Checks upon Actuator Receipt
• Check that the model, the serial number of the actuator and the technical data reported on
the identication plate correspond with those of order conrmation (Section 1.2).
• Check that the actuator is equipped with the ttings as provided for by order conrmation.
• Check that the actuator was not damaged during transportation: if necessary renovate the
painting according to the specication reported on the order conrmation.
• If the actuator is received already assembled with the valve, its settings have already been
made at the factory.
• If the actuator is delivered separately from the valve, it is necessary to check, and, if
required, to adjust, the settings of the mechanical stops (Section 3.4) and of micro-switches
(if any) (Section 3.5).
