2. STORAGE AND
PRE-INSTALLATION
2.1 TESTS TO BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE
ACTUATOR IS RECEIVED
If the actuator is received already mounted
on the valve, all operations should have
already been performed during valve/actuator
assembly.
•Checkthatthedisplayisactive.
•Turnthehandwheeluntilthevalveisina
completely open position.
•Checkthatthedisplayreads100%indicating
that the valve is completely open.
•Rotatethehandwheelclockwiseandbring
the valve to a completely closed position.
•Checkthatthedisplayreads0%indicating
that the valve is completely closed.
If the test result is satisfactory, the actuator
has already been adjusted and you can proceed
with the electrical connection.
If the actuator is delivered separately from the
valve, or the above procedure shows that the
position is incorrect, all operations described in
this manual must be carried out.
•Checkthatnodamagehasoccurredduring
transport, especially to the push-buttons, the
display area glass and the selector.
•Checktheinformationonthenameplate:
serial number and performance data
(nominal torque, operation speed, protection
class, motor supply voltage, etc.), and verify
the corresponding data on the display
(seechapter 10, View routines).
Make sure all accessories have been received
with the shipment, as described in the delivery
documentation.
2.2 STORAGE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
Not performing the following procedures will
invalidate the product guarantee.
2.2.1 General
The actuator leaves the factory in perfect
condition, as guaranteed by an individual
test certificate. In order to maintain these
characteristics until the actuator is installed
on site, proper procedures must be taken for
preservation during the storage period.
Biffi actuators are weatherproof to IP66/68.
This condition can only be maintained if the
units are correctly installed/connected on site
and if they have been correctly stored.
The standard plastic plugs used to close the
cable entries are not weatherproof, they just
prevent the entry of undesired objects during
transport.
2.2.2 Storage for a brief period
(less than one year)
2.2.2.1 Indoor storage
•Makesurethattheactuatorsarekeptinadry
place, laid on a wooden pallet and protected
from dust.
2.2.2.2 Outdoor storage
•Makesurethattheactuatorsareprotected
from the direct action of weather agents
(protection by a canvas tarp or similar cover).
•Placetheactuatorsonawoodenpallet,or
some other raised platform, so that they are
not in direct contact with the ground.
•Iftheactuatorsaresuppliedwithstandard
plastic plugs, remove them from the cable
entries and replace them with weatherproof
plugs.
