If you need to remove the battery from your Rotork Controller, be cautious. The actuator must be isolated or disconnected if the battery holder has to be removed from the actuator gearcase. It's recommended to replace the battery with the main electrical supply to the actuator switched on.
Why does my Rotork Controller torque trip?
The Rotork Controller may torque trip and stop if the torque value reaches the set point for the open or closing torque switches. You can use torque and position monitoring to evaluate and monitor valve performance during operation.
