The actuator components are conform to the state of the art and apply as generally safe at the time they are shipped. This manual serves as basis to install and operate ARIS actuators safety conform. All persons working with or on ARIS actuators must observe this manual and especially its safety advice.
Under water Safe and accurate use ARIS actuators are factory checked prior to delivery. The final functional testing must be performed within the final system by qualified technical personnel. The ARIS company assumes no liability for any direct or indirect damage arising from •...
Expected lifespan and intended disposal ARIS actuators have an expected lifespan of several years, depending on their utilization and application. No longer usable actu- ators must not be dismantled in whole, but separately recycled in parts divided by their materials. Non-recyclable components must be disposed according to national disposal regulations.
Actuators with attached valves: Attach lifting gear only on the valve and NEVER on the actuator; • Do not use ARIS actuators as a climbing or support aid; • ARIS actuators must not operate in unsecured lifting operations without additional applications. ADVICE Possible damage by wrong storage. •...
Consider prior to attachment of couplings: • Do not turn actuator shafts by force; • actuator and valve shafts must run centric. For all actuators observe the following advice: The initial operation of the actuator is only permitted with orderly closed cover and closed cable entries. Use only cable glands which are appropriate for the respective protection class.

Actuator operation without modules (Standard) Operation The Tensor The Tensor is operated via 3 buttons and a slide switch, located above the actuator´s display. The OLED display makes setting up is operated via 3 buttons and a slide switch, located above the actuator´s display. The OLED display makes setting up the actuator easier by showing text such as letters, numbers and signs.

Automatic operation (AUTO mode, switch position "AUTO"): The actuator runs with an external signal, which is present depending on the setting on the terminal clamps, the signal clamps or CAN clamps. The onboard buttons are without function. Manual mode (MANU mode, switch position "MANU"): The actuator can run left and right by using the buttons "L"...

Offset Control variance Setting of the max. variance allowed between actual and set value of the controller (Standard variance). The allowed variance is stated in % depending on the set travel of the actuator. An override of the set max. variance will indicate an error at the message output (see "Status Info"). Possible settings: 0 = Standard variance check deactivated 1...9% = Allowed standard variance in %...
