4 Transport and storage
Inspection
Check the devices immediately after unpacking for possible
damage that may have occurred from improper transport.
Details of any damage that has occurred in transit must be
recorded on the transport documents.
All claims for damages must be submitted to the shipper
without delay and before installation.
Transporting the device
Observe the following instructions:
• Do not expose the device to humidity during transport.
Pack the device accordingly.
• Pack the device so that it is protected against vibrations
during transport, for example, by using air-cushioned
packing.
Storing the device
Bear the following points in mind when storing devices:
• Store the device in its original packaging in a dry and
dust-free location. The device is also protected by a
desiccant in the packaging.
• The storage temperature should be between −40 to 85 °C
(−40 to 185 °F).
• Avoid storing the device in permanent direct sunlight.
• In principle, the devices may be stored for an unlimited
period. However, the warranty conditions stipulated in
the order confirmation of the supplier apply.
Ambient conditions
The ambient conditions for the transport and storage of the
device correspond to the ambient conditions for operation of
the device.
Adhere to the device data sheet!
Returning devices
Use the original packaging or a secure transport container of an
appropriate type if you need to return the device for repair or
recalibration purposes.
Fill out the return form (see Return form on page 35) and include
this with the device.
In accordance with the EU Directive governing hazardous
materials, the owner of hazardous waste is responsible for its
disposal or must observe the following regulations for shipping
purposes:
All devices delivered to ABB must be free from any hazardous
materials (acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.).
Please contact Customer Center Service acc. to page 4 for
nearest service location.

TZIDC Control Unit with TZIDC Remote Sensor*
In this version, the components are supplied in two housings,
which together form one harmonized unit.
The following points should be observed during installation:
• Housing 1 (TZIDC Control Unit) contains the electronics
and pneumatics and is mounted separately from the
actuator.
• Housing 2 (TZIDC Remote Sensor) contains the position
sensor and is mounted on the linear and rotary actuator.
Perform mechanical mounting as described in Mechanical
mounting on page 13.
• The electrical connection is performed as described in
Connection on device - TZIDC Control Unit for remote
position sensor on page 26.Note
To connect the TZIDC Remote Sensor, a cable with the following
specifications needs to be used:
• 3-wire, cross-section 0.5 to 1.0 mm²
• shielded, with at least 85 % coverage
• Temperature range up to at least 100 °C (212 °F)
The cable glands must also be approved for a temperature range
up to at least 100 °C (212 °F). The cable glands require a
mounting for the shielding and strain relief for the cable in
addition.
ABB optionally offers a cable gland and cable for the
TZIDC Remote Version.
* The TZIDC Remote Version is temporarily not available for the marine
version.
B TZIDC Control Unit for remote position sensor
In this version the positioner is supplied without a position
sensor.
The following points should be observed during installation:
• Housing 1 (TZIDC Control Unit) contains the electronics
and pneumatics and is mounted separately from the
actuator.
• The remote position sensor is mounted on the linear and
rotary actuator. Follow the operating instructions for the
remote position sensor for mechanical mounting!
• The electrical connection is performed as described in
Connection on device - TZIDC Control Unit for remote
position sensor on page 26.

Figure 5: Measuring and operating ranges of the positioner
Operating range for linear actuators:
The operating range for linear actuators is ±45° symmetrically to
the longitudinal axis. The usable span within the operating range
is at least 25° (recommended figure 40°). The usable span does
not necessarily need to run symmetrically to the longitudinalaxis.
