7.1 The Setting Procedure
The Rotork IQ range of actuators is the
first that enables commissioning to be
carried out without removing covers.
Setting torque, limit and other
functions is achieved by using the Infra-
Red Setting Tool. The Setting Tool is
certified Intrinsically Safe to allow
commissioning in hazardous areas.
All the commissioning functions are
stored in non-volatile memory in the
actuator. The Setting Tool enables the
user to view all the functions in turn via
the actuator display window. As each
function is viewed its setting can be
checked and, if required, changed
within the bounds of that function.
Commissioning may be carried out with
main power switched on or off. Refer
to page 15 for Power Off Setting.
The setting procedure is divided into
two stages:
1. Primary Functions
Settings for end of travel limit
actions, torque values, limit
positions etc.
2. Secondary Functions
Settings covering the control,
indication and optional
equipment functions.
All IQT actuator functions are
configured before dispatch to
Rotork standard default settings
unless alternatives have been
specified with the order. Should
difficulty be encountered during
commissioning the default
settings can be reinstated,
returning the actuator
configuration to its original
manufactured state. Site
commissioning can then begin
again
(refer to Section 9.17).
The default function should be used
with caution as settings selected after
manufacture may be essential for the
safe operation of the valve and/or
plant.
