!
When installing in a hazardous area as dened by the applicable rules, verify that the
actuator nameplate conforms to site safety requirements.
WARNING
!
Installation, conguration, commissioning, maintenance, and repairs must be performed
by approved and qualied personnel only.
The XTE3000 is designed according to IEC/EN 60079-0, IEC/EN 60079-1, and
IEC/EN 50079-31 standards. Different types of protection are available, depending
on the marking printed on the actuator label:
• Ex d IIB Txx, Ex d IIC Txx with “Explosion proof” terminal board enclosure, or
• Ex d e IIB Txx, Ex d e IIB+H2 Txx, Ex d e IIC Txx with “Increased safety”

Section 2: Storage and Pre-Installation
2.1 Tests to be Carried Out When the Actuator
is Received
If the actuator is received already mounted on the valve, all the below operations should
have already been performed during valve/actuator assembly.
• Check that the display is active.
• Turn the handwheel until the valve is in a completely open position.
• Check that the display reads 100%, which indicates that the valve is completely open.
• Rotate the handwheel clockwise and bring the valve to a completely closed position.
• Check that the display reads 0%, which indicates that the valve is completely
closed. If the test result is satisfactory, the actuator has already been adjusted
and one can proceed with the electrical connection. If the actuator is delivered
separately from the valve or the above procedure shows that the position is
incorrect, all operations described in this manual must be carried out.
• Check that no damage has occurred during transport. Pay particular attention
to the push-buttons, the display area glass, and the selector.
• Check the information on the nameplate. In particular, check the serial number
and performance data (nominal torque, operation speed, protection class, motor
supply voltage, etc.) and verify that this data matches the data on the display
(see Section 10, View Routines).
Make sure all accessories have been received with the shipment as described in the
delivery documentation.

2.2 Storage Procedure
NOTICE
Not following the procedures according to this document will invalidate the product warranty.
2.2.1 General
The actuator leaves the factory in perfect condition, guaranteed by an individual test
certicate. In order to maintain these characteristics until the actuator is installed
on-site, proper procedures must be followed for preservation during the storage period.
XTE3000 actuators are weather proof to IP66/68; this condition can only be maintained if
the unit is correctly installed on-site and if the actuator was correctly stored. The standard
plastic plugs used to close the cable entries are not weather proof; their only function is to
prevent the entry of foreign objects during transport.

weather proof plugs.
• If the actuator is provided with a lithium battery, remove it and store it in a clean
and dry location (see Section 11.3, Lithium Battery Change).
2.2.3.2 Outdoor Storage
In addition to the instructions in Section 2.2.2.2:
• Check the general condition of the actuator, paying particular attention to the

2.3 Checks to be Performed Before Installation
• Make sure that the valve to be motorized is appropriate for coupling
to the actuator.
• The electrical supply cables must be suitable for the power rating
(refer to the test certicate that comes with the actuator).
• Gather the right tools for assembly and for setting the actuator controls.
If the actuator has been stored for a long period of time prior to its installation, make sure to:
• Check the condition of the O-ring seals.
• Check the installation of the plugs or conduit glands on the conduit entries.
• Check if the enclosure covers or the actuator body are cracked or broken.
• Check the oil level in the actuator and top up if necessary.
• Put the batteries back into place (see Section 11.3, Lithium Battery Change).

3.3 Manual Operation
To engage manual operation, depress (by 20° - 30°) the lever in the direction shown in
Figure 18 and then let the lever automatically return to its rest position. If no engagement
is obtained, slowly rotate the handwheel and repeat the operation.
Rotate the handwheel to achieve the desired operation (normally clockwise rotation
closes the valve).
A label is located on the handwheel with an arrow showing the closing direction
(clockwise by default). If the closing direction is counterclockwise, the label must be
removed and remounted upside-down.
! WARNING
Do not manually operate the actuator with devices other than the handwheel and the
declutch lever. Using cheater bars, wheel wrenches, pipe wrenches, or other such devices
on the actuator handwheel or declutch lever may cause serious personal injury and/or
damage to the actuator or valve.

! WARNING
Never lift the valve/actuator assembly without securing slings to both the valve and
the actuator. Never use the handwheel to lift the actuator.
Thoroughly clean the coupling surfaces of the valve and actuator anges, and degrease
them carefully since torque is transmitted by friction.
Lift the actuator with slings suitable for its weight.
The actuator will operate properly in any position. When mounted upside-down, a 5 mm
diameter hole should be drilled in the end of the stem cover to avoid build-up of service
uid or rainwater.
3.4.1 Coupling Type “A”
Place the actuator vertically on the stem, screw the threaded bushing of the coupling block
on the valve stem, and then rotate (normally counterclockwise) until the coupling block
and ange surfaces of the valve are securely in contact.
For safety purposes, rotate the handwheel in the opening direction for about two turns in
order to lift the valve gate from its seat to avoid imparting (during bolt xing) excessive
axial thrust on the internal parts of the valve and the actuator.
Depending on the conditions of assembly, it could be easier to separate the thrust block
from the actuator and mount it onto the valve yoke.
3.4.2 Coupling Types “B1”, “B2”, ”B3” and “B4”
Check the dimensions of the valve mounting details, and pay particular attention to the
protrusions of the valve stem in order to avoid any axial thrust on the internal parts of the
actuator or the valve when the screws are tightened.

Manually engage the actuator using the handwheel and place the actuator vertically on
the valve stem. Perform the coupling operations (with the aid of manual operation if
necessary); make sure no mating parts are forced.

3.5 Electrical Connections
Before powering the actuator check that the supply voltage details on the nameplate
are correct for the receiving plant. Access to terminals for electrical connections and
commissioning is via the terminal cover, since all settings are non-intrusive. The removal of
any other covers without Emerson approval will invalidate the warranty; Emerson will not
accept responsibility for any damage or deterioration that may be caused.
NOTICE
All accessories (including cable glands) must comply with approved specications for the
site requirements and be certied according to the standard directive.
3.5.1 Plant Requirements
Protection devices (overcurrent breakers, magneto-thermal switches, or fuses) should be
provided at the plant by the administrating customer to protect the mains line in case of
motor overcurrent or loss of insulation between phases and earth.
MAN-02-04-97-0713-EN Rev. 2
For the proper sizing of protection devices, refers to certicate attached to the actuator
(Is current).
Protection devices must be easily reached and identiable by the operator.
3.6 Removing the Terminal Board Enclosure
Using an 8 mm Allen key, loosen the four screws and remove the cover.
! WARNING
Be careful to not damage the joint surfaces of the terminal cover or seal during removal.
CAUTION
!
Using a fastener other than the approved type may result in damage to the actuator or
valve. Refer to Table 8.
NOTICE
If the screws of the cover must be replaced, a SS AISI 316 must be used with minimum yield
strength of 450 N/mm2 (65,266 psi).

3.7 Removing the Terminal Board Enclosure
The sealing of cables and conduit entries should be carried out in accordance with the
relevant national standards or the regulatory authorities that certied the actuators. This is
especially true for units that are certied for use in hazardous areas, where the method of
sealing must be to an approved standard and cable glands, reducers, plugs, and adapters
must be approved and separately certied.

Remove the conduit entry plugs.
NOTICE
All accessories (including cable glands) must comply with approved specications for the
site requirements and be certied according to the standard directive.
To guarantee a weather proof and explosion proof t, screw the cable glands tightly
(at least 5 turns) and coat them with a thread sealant. The use of a thread sealant is
necessary in explosion proof and weather proof applications.
