5.2.5.3 EPROM Installation It is recommended that an IC insertion/extraction tool be used to hold the EPROM for installation. Flowserve Limitorque provides a kit which contains an EPROM removal tool; P/N 102424. To insert a replacement EPROM, use the following procedure: The notch at one end of the EPROM must be lined up with the notch at one end of the socket.
Before handling electronic components, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Flowserve recommends the use of a wrist strap grounded to an appropriate ground. STEP 2 Attach the SMT terminal block conversion wiring harness (P/N 64-825-0010-4) to the existing through hole wiring harness.

Complete actuator seal kits are available for the MX-05/10, the MX-20/40 and the MX-85/140/150. Flowserve recommends stock levels for seal kits of 10% of the total population of each actuator model and size. Also, an adequate supply of Flowserve approved oil (Mobil...
The following parts are not subject to wear but are still recommended for stock due to their critical nature. Flowserve recommends stock levels of between 5% and 10% of the total population of each part with a minimum of one of each in order to support the product for life.
6. Stall/overload condition Flowserve strongly recommends using OEM parts to support and maintain your MX actuator. Installing parts other than genuine Flowserve Limitorque parts could cause premature failure of your actuator and voids any remaining warranty. The above guidelines are provided to assist you in determining your unique spare parts needs. Please contact your local Limitorque Sales Office or local Authorized Stocking Distributor for additional help in evaluating your needs.
