During operation, please be aware of the following:
• Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running� Stop the actuator immediately if anything
unusual is observed
• Do not sideload the actuator
• Only use the actuator within the specified working limits
• Do not step on or kick the actuator
When the equipment is not in use:
• Switch off the mains supply in order to prevent unintentional operation
• Check regularly for extraordinary wear
Classification
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with
oxygen or nitrous oxide�
•
Not to be opened by unauthorised personnel�
• Do not sideload the actuator�
• When mounting the actuator in the application ensure that the bolts can withstand the wear and
that they are secured safely�
• If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced�
• For actuators with a stroke length below 130 mm, the extended position of the mechanical endstop
will always be at 130 mm� That means, if an actuator has a stroke of 80 mm and the endstop switch
in outwards direction fails, the actuator will travel additional 50 mm before reaching mechanical
endstop�
• Do not place load on the actuator housing and do prevent impact or blows, or any other form of
stress to the housing�
• Ensure that the duty cycle and the usage temperatures for LA12 actuators are respected�
• Ensure that the cable cannot be squeezed, pulled or subjected to any other stress�
• Furthermore, it will be good practice to ensure that the actuator is fully retracted in the ”normal”
position� The reason is that there will be a vacuum inside the actuator if it is extended which over
time can lead to water entering the actuator�
• If the actuator (without integrated controller) is mounted in an application where a mechanical stop
prevents the endstop switches in the actuator from being activated, the actuator must be equipped
with an electrical safety device (current monitoring) or external limit switch�
• The cable should not be used for carrying the actuator�
• We recommend taking some precaution and designing the wire connection in such a way that the
cable end is kept inside a closed, protected area to guarantee the high IP protection�
