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 Observe the requirements for personal protective equipment specified in the valve docu- mentation. Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment. 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 The limit switches automatically switch off the motor in the end positions. In actuators with fail-safe action, the actuator stem moves to a defined end position upon supply voltage fail- ure. The fail-safe action of SAMSON actuators is specified on the actuator nameplate.

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 electrohydraulic 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.
NOTICE Risk of damage to the electrohydraulic actuator due to the supply voltage exceeding the permissible tolerances. The Type 3274 Electrohydraulic Actuator is designed for use according to regulations for low-voltage installations. Î Observe the permissible tolerances of the supply voltage. Risk of electrohydraulic actuator damage due to excessively high tightening torques.
