Referenced documentation The following documents apply in addition to these mounting and operating instructions: − Mounting and operating instructions of the valve on which the electric actuator is mount- ed, e.g. for SAMSON valves: u EB 5861 for Type 3260 Three-way Valve u EB 5868-1 for Type 3214 Globe Valve balanced by a diaphragm u EB 8012 for Type 3241 Globe Valve, ANSI and JIS version u EB 8015 for Type 3241 Globe Valve, DIN version...
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 re- connection of the power supply.
Safety instructions and measures 1.2 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Crush hazard arising from moving parts. The form-fit version of 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. Î...
Safety instructions and measures 1.3 Notes on possible property damage NOTICE Risk of damage to the electric actuator due to the supply voltage exceeding the per- missible tolerances. The Type 3375 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.

The actuator is a linear actuator which is controlled by a three-step signal. Depending on the version with or without fail-safe ac- tion, it is particularly suitable for mounting on SAMSON Series 240 and 250 Valves as well as to Type 3214 Valve (DN 300 and 400). Principle of operation The electric actuator consists of a reversible asynchronous motor and a maintenance-free planetary gear with ball screw drive.
Design and principle of operation 3.2 Additional equipment Mechanical limit contacts Optionally, the actuator can be equipped with two limit contacts. They consist of two changeover switches. Their switching posi- tions are changed independently from one another by continuously adjustable cam disks.
