4.7.1 Close Torque Valve or Open Torque Valve
The output torque from the actuator to close or open the valve may be configured between 40% and 100% of the rated
torque as stated on the actuator nameplate (See Figure 4.10), in 1% increments (unless limited by the factory).
To Increase the % of Torque Required:
1. Select “NO” until the desired % is indicated.
2. Select “YES” to save the required torque.
Should the user select a maximum torque setting less than 100% due to valve or gearbox limitations, this selection can
be password protected.
