3 Product description
3.1 Intended use
The EA15/25/45/120/250 electric actuators are designed for mounting on a valve and for connection to a control system provided
by the plant and are intended to operate valves with swivel movements of up to 180° (e.g. ball valves and butterfly valves).
The product is not intended for any other type of use than those listed here. Failure to observe the instructions contained in this
manual will void the manufacturer›s liability for the above-mentioned products. The Actuator is designed for integration into a com-
plete machine/peripheral system. It is not intended for direct connection to a voltage supply system, but only to a regulated and fused
power supply of a complete machine.
