All mounting kits from Table 5 can be used
except for the heavy-duty version. Connect-
ing plate in stainless steel.
4.10 Air purging function for
single-acting actuators
The instrument air leaving from the position-
er is diverted to the actuator spring chamber
to provide corrosion protection inside the ac-
tuator. The following must be observed:
Direct attachment to Type 3277-5 (stem ex-
tends FA/stem retracts FE)
The air purging function is automatically
provided.
Direct attachment to Type 3277, 175 to

tion blocks are used.
Mount old powder-paint-coated alumi-
num connection blocks as described in
