Proper Mounting; Mounting The Linear Actuator - Siemens SIPART PS2 6DR5.1-E Instrucciones De Operación

WARNING
Mechanical impact energy
In order to ensure the degree of protection of the housing (IP66), protect the housing versions of the positioners listed here
from mechanical impact energy:
6DR5..3; not greater than 2 Joule
•
6DR5..0; not greater than 1 Joule
•
6DR5..1 with inspection window; not greater than 1 Joule
•
NOTICE
Torque with NPT screwed gland
Device damage. The maximum torque of the cable gland must not be exceeded.
To avoid damage to the device, the NPT adapter must be held in place while the NPT gland is screwed into the NPT
•
adapter. Refer to the section "Technical specifications > Construction (Page 40)" for the torque value.
3.1.1

Proper mounting

NOTICE
Incorrect mounting
The device can be damaged, destroyed, or its functionality impaired through improper mounting.
Before installing ensure there is no visible damage to the device.
•
Make sure that process connectors are clean, and suitable gaskets and glands are used.
•
Mount the device using suitable tools. Refer to the information in Construction (Page 40) for installation torque
•
requirements.
CAUTION
Loss of type of protection
Damage to device if the enclosure is open or not properly closed. The type of protection specified on the nameplate or in
Technical data (Page 38) is no longer guaranteed.
Make sure that the device is securely closed.

Mounting the linear actuator

For linear actuators, use the "linear actuator" mounting kit 6DR4004-8V or the integrated attachment.
You require different installation parts depending on the selected actuator type. The mounting kit is suitable for a stroke of 3
to 35 mm. For a larger stroke range, you require a separately ordered lever 6DR4004-8L. Refer to the detailed operating
instructions for further information on mounting.
3.3 Mounting the part-turn actuator
You require an actuator-specific VDI/VDE 3845 mount to install the positioner on a part-turn actuator. You receive the mount
and screws from the actuator manufacturer. Ensure that the mount has a sheet metal thickness of > 4 mm and
reinforcements. You also need the mounting kit 6DR4004-8D or the stainless steel coupling TGX: 16300-1556. Refer to the
detailed operating instructions for further information on mounting.
3.4 Using the positioner in a humid environment
Introduction
The positioner enclosure provides IP66 protection with an intended installation position. It can therefore be operated in a
moist or wet environment in the mounting positions shown below. Do not use other mounting positions since it would then be
possible for liquids, fluff, fibers or dusts to enter the device via the exhaust openings.
