If you intend to store the actuator for over 6 months, also follow the instructions below:
- The silica gel in the connection compartment must be replaced after 6 months of
storage (from date of delivery)
- After replacing the silica gel, brush the connection cover seal with glycerine.
Then, carefully close the connection compartment again
- Coat screw heads and bare spots with neutral grease or long-term
corrosionprotection
- Renovate damaged paintwork arising from transport, improper storage,
or mechanical inuences
- For explosion-proof actuators, it is not allowed to extensively overpaint the actuator.
According to the standard, in order to avoid electrostatical charge, the maximal
thickness of the varnish is limited to 200 µm.
- Every 6 months all measures and precautions for long term storage must be
checked for effectiveness and corrosion protection and silica gel renewed
- Failure to follow the above instructions may lead to condensation which can damage
to the actuator
