Section 3: Storage and Pre-Installation

3.1 Checks to be Carried Out when the
Actuator is Received
NOTE
Failure to follow the procedures as prescribed in this document will invalidate the
product warranty.
First, check if the data on the nameplate (model, serial number, nominal torque,
nominal voltage range, protection degree, operating speed range, protection class, etc.)
corresponds 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 always recommended to verify that all
the requested settings have been implemented as indicated in the latest 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, performed 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 damage (e.g. damage to the coat of paint). 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 actuator leaves the factory in perfect working condition and with an excellent exterior
finish. In order to maintain these characteristics until the time comes to install the actuator
on-site, it is necessary to observe a few rules and take appropriate storage measures.
The basic version of SCE300 actuator is weather-proof to IP66/68M. This condition can only
be maintained if the unit is correctly installed and connected on-site and if the unit was
previously correctly stored. The standard plastic plugs used to close the cable entries are
not weather-proof; these plugs are only intended to prevent the entry of foreign objects
during transport. Emerson cannot accept responsibility for deterioration caused on-site
when the covers are removed.
CAUTION
The actuator handwheel is removed for transport to avoid damage. When the actuator must be
shipped with the handwheel assembled, ensure that the actuator assembly is properly packed
to avoid damage to the handwheel.
