Therefore, operators must ensure that the actuator is only used in operating conditions that meet the specifications used for sizing the actuator at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to use the actuator in other applications or conditions than specified, contact SAMSON. 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 for limits and fields of application as well as possible uses. See the 'Design and principle of operation' section.

Revisions and other modifications Revisions, conversions or other modifications of the product are not authorized by SAMSON. They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur- thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use. Safety features Upon supply voltage failure, the Type 3374 Electric Actuator causes the valve to move to a certain fail-safe position. The fail-safe action of SAMSON actuators is specified on the actua- tor nameplate. Type 3374-21/-26/-31/-36...

Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock. Î Before connecting wiring, performing any work on the device or opening the de- vice, disconnect the supply voltage and protect it against unintentional reconnec- tion. Î Only use power interruption devices that can be protected against unintentional reconnection of the power supply.
Safety instructions and measures 1.2 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Crush hazard arising from moving parts. The electric actuator contains moving parts (actuator and plug stems), which can injure hands or fingers if inserted into the actuator. Î Do not insert hands or finger into the yoke while the valve is in operation. Î Disconnect the supply voltage and protect it against unintentional reconnection be- fore performing any work on the control valve.
1.3 Notes on possible property damage NOTICE Risk of damage to the electric actuator due to the supply voltage exceeding the permissible tolerances. The Type 3374 Electric Actuator is designed for use according to regulations for low-voltage installations. Î Observe the permissible tolerances of the supply voltage. Risk of actuator damage due to excessively high tightening torques.
