In the COMMANDS menu, set Auxiliary 1 (or 2) to «Partial Stroke» and adjust the following para-
meters :
- Type of command contact (open or closed contact)
- Operating time : input the full stroke time in seconds
- Start pos. Select if the test shall start from an open or a closed valve position.
If the start position is not the one selected, then a warning «Partial Stroking Default» is sent out.
- Stroke%. Set the travel in % for the partial stroking (default value 10%).
In the SIGNALLING\REMOTE menu and set the relays as desired (relays 3 and 4 are generally used
for this purpose)
- Type of contact for this signal (open or closed contact)
- Information : Partial stroking in progress or in fault.
If the actuator is equipped with a fieldbus interface, signals are available through the bus. In this
case, no relay configuration is necessary. The signal «Partial Stroke faultis automatically acknowle-
dged as soon as the actuator position changes of 2% or more.
16 lOCAl INFRARED COMMUNICATION
The actuator has a 2-way read/write infrared interface for communicating with a Pocket PC or lap-
top computer. The Pocket PC must have an infrared port and be running INTELLIPOCKET software.
Contact us for information on Pocket PC interface compatibility.
BERNARD CONTROLS can also supply a rugged Pocket PC for site use: waterproof or explosion-
proof versions are available. The device is supplied with the software pre-installed.
Use INTELLI KIT to communicate with a laptop computer. The kit includes an infrared module plus a
CD-ROM with the INTELLISOFT software. The infrared module can be attached to the actuator dis-
play window to ensure easy communication, even if the window is not facing in the right direction.
The infrared module is to be connected to the laptop’s USB port. A 2-metre cable is supplied (longer
length available as an option).
The INTELLIPOCKET and INTELLISOFT software provides access to all INTELLI+ functions. Versions
prior to version 2.0 need to be updated.
Preset configurations can be uploaded instantly and it is also possible to view the torque/position
curve for the most recent movement. See the software handbook for further details.
The infrared interface cannot be used if the actuator menu system is active.
The system must also be in local mode in order to perform CHANGE or SET UP functions (i.e. local /
remote selector on local). In this case, the infrared interface has priority over the local controls.
Once communication is established, the Ir (infrared) symbol is shown on the actuator display.
17 SETTING AND VIEWING TORQUE VAlUES
17.1
ClOSING TYPE
The actuator closes on position in the standard configuration. The option to close on torque is normally
selected in the SET UP menu, although this can also be done via the CHANGE menu:
Select change in the MENU and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque in the CHANGE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select the closing type in the TORQUE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select on (torque) and turn to OK to confirm.
The (torque) o/c option is for opening and closing on torque.
17.2 TORQUE SETTING
The actuator is delivered with a torque limiting system
set in accordance with the order. Check the following
points if the torque limiter is activated during operation:
- valve stem is clean and properly lubricated,
- valve stem not seized in the stem nut,
- valve gland not too tight.
If the torque needs to be increased, first obtain the approval of
the valve supplier and then proceed as follows:
Select change in the MENU and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque in the CHANGE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque setting in the TORQUE menu and turn to OK to
confirm.
Select the setting you want and turn to OK to confirm.
Use the blue selector to increase or decrease the value.
The minimum setting is 40%. Hold the selector in the up or
down position to scroll through values faster.
Description of torque limit system:
All torque values are expressed as percentages.
100% corresponds to the maximum setting for the actuator.
This value is shown in Nm on the actuator nameplate.
- closing % : limits torque during closing
- close tight %: this option is only displayed if closing is on torque limit. In this case, the torque
applied on the valve seat may be not be the same as
the torque limit during the closing movement.
- open breakout %: this option is only displayed
if closing is on torque. In this case, the torque limit
to unseat the valve may be different from - generally
higher than - the torque limit during the opening
movement.
If the setting is above 100% the display shows no
limitation (equivalent to override on the torque
limiter at the start of the opening movement).
- opening %: limits torque during opening movement.
17.3 TORQUE READINGS AND COMPARISON WITh ORIGINAl
TORQUE VAlUES
Maximum resistive torque values are measured for all
motorised movements and can be viewed later.
Operating torque values for a movement can be stored
in memory to allow comparison against torque values
for the most recent motorised movement.
Select change in the MENU and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque in the CHANGE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select measured torque in the TORQUE menu and turn to OK
to confirm.
Select the torque value required and turn to OK to confirm.
The display shows the maximum torque value measured during
the most recent motorised movement. (note: movements are not
measured when settings are being made)
