The following parameters will be set:
• opening and closing torque limits: from 40 % to 100 % of the nominal torque. The nominal
torque corresponding to 100% set in-house and stored in the name plate menu for
reference.
• close direction: clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW). Most valves require
clockwise rotation of the stem when viewed from the handwheel. Engage the manual
override and check if the valve closes with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation of the
handwheel
• close and open limits type: by position or by torque. Use the following table to choose:
