AEL8 Series Safety Information
Caution
Before commencement of any work to make the electrical connections refer to IM-P714-02 for the AEL8
Section 1 "Safety Information".
IM-P714-02 can be found on the Spirax Sarco website.
Mains connection and commissioning of the AEL8 Series actuator requires specialist knowledge of electrical
circuits and systems, and the inherent dangers. A working knowledge of linear actuators is also required.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that safe systems of operation and practice are implemented and
maintained.
Only qualified personnel must be allowed to make the electrical power connections to the AEL8 Series
actuator, and these personnel must be familiar with, and comply with the applicable health and safety
standards or guidelines.
Failure to do so could result in death, severe physical injuries or material damages to the actuator, valve and
associated equipment.
-
Ensure that the electrical power supply is isolated.
-
Safeguard against the unintentional switching on by ensuring that there is a safe system of practice in
operation – e.g. lock off the electrical supply isolator.
-
Ensure that any installation of any new power supply is compliant with local regulations
-
Check the mains connection voltage and frequency for conformity to the actuator. Details of the
requirements are identified on the AEL8 Series actuator nameplate which can be found on the actuator
baseplate.
-
Ensure that the power supply cable is of the correct cross section for the maximum expected load.
Details of the requirements are identified on the AEL8 Series actuator nameplate which can be found
on the actuator baseplate, and in the Technical Information Sheet (TI-P714-01).
-
Minimum cross section for the power supply cable is 1 mm
operational disturbances.
-
Ensure that the power supply is correctly fused for the maximum expected load. Details of the
requirements for each AEL8 Series actuator can be found in TI-P714-01.
