Section 1: Introduction
Introduction
1.10.3 Good instrument practices are also recommended. Clean/dry regulated
pneumatic pressure is essential for long service life and satisfactory operation.
It should be noted that new pneumatic lines often have scale and other debris in
them and these lines should be purged of all foreign material.
NOTE:
Scale and debris can damage control valves, solenoids and seals.
1�11 Actuator Start-up
1.11.1 Prestart-up checks
1. Inspect to ensure the unit has been mounted onto valve properly. Gear
ange mounting bolts, stem key, set screw(s) are installed and secured.
2. No tubing damaged or accessories dislodged during the shipping or
the installation.
3. Indicated position conrms valve position.
4. All switching valves in normal operating position as per
SCHEMATIC / INSTRUCTIONS.
1.11.2 Check connections
1. Pneumatic / hydraulic components connected as per schematic enclosed or
in service manual supplied.
2. Pneumatic supply connected to the identied ports.
3. Electrical connection terminals are secured.
4. Wiring as per enclosed diagram or service manual supplied.
1.11.3 When actuator is rst placed into service, it should be cycled with regulated
pneumatic pressure. This is necessary because the seals have been stationary,
causing them to take a "set". Therefore, the actuator should be operated through
several cycles to exercise the seals so as to achieve a service ready condition.
1.11.4 The actuator speed of operation is determined by a number of factors includes:
1. Power supply line length
2. Power supply line size
3. Power supply line pressure
4. Control valve and tting orice size
5. Torque requirements of the valve
6. Size of the actuator
7. Setting of speed controls
8. Hydraulic Manual Override (where available)
