Section 2: Installation
2.1
Preparation
2.1.1
If for any reason the actuator is not to be installed immediately, Emerson Process Management
recommends the following procedures. Failure to comply, with recommended procedures, could
lead to actuator malfunction and possibly void the warranty. For storage procedures exceeding one
year, consult Emerson Process Management for further recommendations.
As shipped from the factory, the ECAT system is an inherently weatherproof unit, providing that all
compartment covers and cable entry plugs remain intact. The actuator should be immediately stored
in a clean, dry warehouse, free from vibration and rapid temperature changes, until it can be installed
and energized.
If the actuator must be stored outside, store it off the ground at an elevation sufficient to prevent it
from being immersed in water or buried in snow. Check for any unpainted or exposed metal surfaces
and make sure they are protected with a coating of grease to prevent any corrosion. Cover the system
to prevent damage from site debris.
2.1.2
To complete these procedures, you will need the following documentation for the ECAT Actuator and
items indicated in the table below:
