3. Storage
If your actuator cannot be installed
immediately, store it in a dry place until
you are ready to connect incoming
cables.
If the actuator has to be installed but
cannot be cabled it is recommended
that the plastic transit cable entry plugs
are replaced with metal plugs which
are sealed with PTFE tape.
The Rotork double-sealed construction
will preserve internal electrical
components perfectly if left
undisturbed.
It is not necessary to remove any
electrical compartment covers in order
to commission the IQ actuator.
Rotork cannot accept responsibility for
deterioration caused on-site once the
covers are removed.
Every Rotork actuator has been fully
tested before leaving the factory to
give years of trouble free operation,
providing it is correctly commissioned,
installed and sealed.
