Basic Setting Instructions for IQ and IQT Actuators
These instructions enable the
actuator to be configured to suit the
valve and must be carried out before
electrical start up. For complete
instructions see the installation
manual that shipped with the
actuator or refer to the publications
listed below.
Old Rotork Setting Tools and new
Setting Tool Pros are fully compatible
with all IQ range actuators.
If an old Rotork Setting Tool is used
with an IQ Pro/IQT Pro actuator the data
download/upload facility will not be
available. Navigation through the menu
structure is facilitated using the down
and right arrow keys. At the end of a
menu section pressing the arrow right
or arrow down key, as applicable, will
return the menu to the start.
If a new Setting Tool Pro is used with an
IQ actuator (an actuator without split
screen text support) the back arrow
and data upload/download facility will
be unavailable.
For further configuration and
settings the following publications
are available:
IQ mk 1 actuator - E170E
IQ mk 2 actuator - E170E2
IQ Pro actuator - E170E3
IQT actuator - E175E
