radio partner is automatically resynchronized.

5.2 Rectifying malfunctions

5.2.1 Changing the batteries on the MD15-FTL-902

CAUTION

Risk of burns and chemical burns!

Improper handling of batteries can result in batteries leaking, exploding or igniting.
This can result in burns and chemical burns.

► Do not recharge the batteries.

► Do not short-circuit the batteries.

► Do not destroy, crush, dismantle or incinerate the batteries.

► Do not heat the batteries above 185°F (85 °C).

► Do not dissolve the battery contents in water.

10 System Malfunctions

NOTE

If the battery is changed on the disassembled radio small actuator, the radio small actu­ator remains operational.

You can only change the batteries on the valve when the radio small actuator is not
carrying out any positioning movements.

NOTE

This device contains replaceable alkaline batteries. Dispose of old batteries according to
local regulations.

► Open the battery compartment cover by inserting the special

key into the provided openings.

► Remove the battery compartment cover.

► Remove the batteries.

NOTICE

Damage to property by using an incorrect tool!

If an incorrect tool is used, the device or its parts could become scratched and plastic
parts could break off.

► Never use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen the union nut.

► Only use the provided special key to open the housing.

System Malfunctions 11

Issue 2015-01-19

A

► Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity.
►Use only alkaline AA, LR6 1.5 V batteries.

Once all batteries have been inserted into the battery compart­ment, the actuator moves to its initial state. If the actuator does not
receive a checkback signal after attempting to establish radio
communication, it begins an initialization run. The teach-in button
cannot be used to execute an action during movement.

► Close the battery compartment of the MD15-FTL-902,

ensuring that you hear an audible click.

NOTE

A new teach-in procedure is triggered internally and started automatically every time the
batteries are changed. Teaching in can take up to 1.5 hours. It is not necessary to teach
in the device again.

NOTE

After the batteries are changed, the radio small actuator reverts to its initial state (actuator
spindle is retracted).

When the radio small actuator receives a radio signal, it switches over to normal opera­tion.

6.1 Compliance statement

Compliance statement

This device complies with section 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

Modifications not expressly approved by this company could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

Radio Frequency (RF) Signal

The radio device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limit for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the OET
Bulletin 56 Supplement C in the USA and by the Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety
Code 6 in Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established
permitted levels of RF energy population. These guidelines are based on the safety stan­dards previously set by international standard bodies. These standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of their
ages and health.

This device and its antenna may not be located too close to or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

This device is capable of compliance with localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for
uncontrolled environment/general public exposure limits specific in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures spec­ified in IEEE Std. 1528-2003 December 2003.

Class A digital device or peripheral

The MD15-FTL-902 is a digital device that is marketed for use in a commercial, industrial
or business environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the general
public or intended to be used in the home.

The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital
device, pursuant to section 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the function manual,
may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
