Potential causes of damage
and malfunction
Failure to follow the wiring diagram
or making incorrect connections at
the terminals can result in destruc-
tion of the PCB or individual electri-
cal components.
The unit may only be installed on
valves whose torque requirement
does not exceed the unit’s maximum
permissible output torque. Failure to
follow this rule can result in break-
age of the operating shaft or other
components of the unit.
Connection to a power supply of the
wrong voltage can cause damage to
the unit’s electrical components.
Make sure the unit is always con-
nected to the correct voltage.
