Intended use
The SAMSON Type3372 Actuator is designed for operating a mounted globe valve. In com-
bination with the valve, the actuator is used to shut off and control the ow of liquids, gases
or vapors in the pipeline. The actuator is suitable for throttling service. In this case, the actua-
tor is combined with the Type3725 Positioner. The actuator can be used in processing and
industrial plants.
The actuator is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. thrust, travel).
Therefore, operators must ensure that the actuator is only used in operating conditions that
meet the specications used for sizing the actuator at the ordering stage. In case operators
intend to use the actuator in other applications or conditions than specied, contact SAM-
SON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The actuator is not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits dened during sizing and by the technical data
− Use outside the limits dened by the accessories connected to the actuator
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualications of operating personnel
The actuator must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and quali-
ed personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. Accord-
ing to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who
are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to their
specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the appli-
cable standards.
