    Details are given of the reference and latest torque expressed in % of the nominal torque. At the end of a full stroke in opening or closing, the F01-2000 stores the 3 maximum torque values in position intervals 0%-10%, 10%-90%, 90%-100% in opening, and the 3 maximum torque values in position intervals 100%-90%, 90%-10%, 10%-0% in closing.

    Standard Maintenance Approx. every 2 years: Under normal operating conditions, the F01-2000 is maintenance-free: no actuator maintenance is formally required, even though visual inspection for oil leakage or external visible damages is recommended every two years. When conditions are severe (frequent operation or high temperatures), inspect the oil level and oil quality more often.
