This section contains information regarding the operation of the Lexium EAC1-Series. Qualified personnel working with the actuator must read and observe this information. The actuator was built in compliance with the recognized technical safety regulations.
The actuator is intended to be integrated into a machine or assembled with other components to build up a machine or system.
Provide for Protective Measures
Before installing the actuator, provide appropriate protective devices in compliance with local and national standards. Do not commission components without appropriate protective devices. After installation, commissioning, or repair, test the protective devices used.
Perform a risk evaluation concerning the specific use before operating the actuator and take appropriate security measures.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION |
|
Ensure that a risk assessment is conducted and respected according to EN/ISO 12100 during the design of your machine. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
If circumstances occur that affect the safety or cause changes to the operating behavior of the actuator, then immediately shut down the actuator and contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
Use only the accessories and mounting parts specified in the documentation and only third-party devices or components that have been expressly approved by Schneider Electric. Only modify the actuator in the manner intended and described in this documentation, and other documentation concerning any other associated equipment.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION |
|
oOnly use software and hardware components approved by Schneider Electric for use with the actuator. oUpdate your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
The actuator is not suitable for the manipulation of living organisms or explosive materials, nor is it suitable for impact movement.
The components must not be used in the following environments:
oHazardous (explosive) atmospheres
oFloating systems
oLife support systems
oDomestic appliances
oUnderground
oHighly saline environments
oEnvironments with increased radioactive radiation
oHigh-hygienic areas
oOily surroundings
oVacuum
The actuator has been designed to operate outside of any hazardous location. Only install the actuator in zones known to be free of a hazardous atmosphere.

POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION |
|
Install and use this equipment in non-hazardous locations only. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. |
Installation and Operating Conditions
Only use the components in accordance with the installation and operating conditions described in this documentation. The operating conditions at the installation location must be inspected and maintained in accordance with the required technical data (performance data and ambient conditions). Commissioning is prohibited until the usable machine or system in which the actuator is installed is in accordance to the applicable local regulations and standards.
For an application-specific calculation of the service life of the actuator, refer to the catalog Unimotion PNCE Electric Cylinder .
Compatibility with Foreign Substances
It is impossible to follow up on all further developments of all substances such as lubricants, cleaning agents, or solvents. Therefore, you must perform a compatibility test before using new substances.
