Section 3: Storage and Pre-Installation

3.1 Checks to be Carried Out when the
Actuator is Received
NOTE
Not performing the following procedures will invalidate the product guarantee.
First of all check if the data on the nameplate (model, serial number, nominal torque,
nominal voltage range, protection degree, operating speed range, protection class, etc.)
correspond to the expected product data.
If the actuator is received already assembled onto the valve, the setting of the mechanical
stops and of the electric end-of- travel should have been already done during actuator
assembly onto the valve. An additional check is anyway recommended to verify that all
the requested settings have been completed as indicated in the present Instruction and
Operating Manual.
If the actuator is received separately from the valve, the setting of the mechanical stops
and of the electric end-of-travel must be checked and, if necessary, carried out while
assembling the actuator onto the valve. In any case, all the setting operations described in
this Instruction and Operating Manual must be carried out. Check that the actuator was
not damaged during transport: in particular, inspect the local position indicator area glass.
If necessary, repair all damages to the paint-coat, etc. Check that the fitted accessories
comply with those listed in the order acknowledgement and the delivery note.
3.2

Storage Procedure

3.2.1

General

The actuators leave the factory in perfect working conditions and with an excellent
finish, in order to maintain these characteristics until the actuator is installed on site, it is
necessary to observe a few rules and take appropriate measures during the storage period.
The basic version of Keystone EPI2 actuators is weather-proof to IP66/68. This condition
can only be maintained if the units are correctly installed and connected on site, and if
they were previously correctly stored. The standard plastic plugs used to close the cable
entries are not weather-proof, they just prevent the entry of undesired objects during
transport. Emerson can not accept responsibility for deterioration caused on site when
the covers are removed.
NOTE
The actuator handwheel is removed for transport. If the actuator must be shipped fully
assembled, please make sure the handwheel is packed securely to avoid all possible damage.
