Using the Manual Remote to Configure the Actuator

In the absence of an optional RS-232, USB, or serial interface, the manual remote can be
used to perform extensive actuator setup functions.

Accessing the Configuration Mode

To access the configuration mode, press and hold the HOME/SETUP button for 5 seconds.

Button Functions

• When a screen appears, a line will be highlighted. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to

highlight a different line.

• When the desired line is highlighted, press the HOME/SETUP button to enter that

value.

• For parameters such as number of ports or positions, use the arrow keys to toggle up

and down to the desired value, which is then entered by pressing the HOME/SETUP
button.

• Only two menus—the Interface Setup and Baudrate—have more than three options.

Use the arrow keys to scroll down to additional screens to select the desired value or
parameter.

• The UP arrow key also functions as a back button.

A complete menu tree appears on the next page.

Examples

To configure the actuator for a 10 position multiposition valve:

1. On the main menu, use the arrow buttons to highlight

Valve Setup. Press the HOME/SETUP button.

2. Use the DOWN arrow button to highlight Multiposition.

Press the HOME/SETUP button.

3. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move through the

numbers until 10 is showing. Press the HOME/SETUP button.

In the multiposition mode, “counterclockwise” means that the actuator moves in the
“positive” direction—position 1 to position 2. The clockwise direction is “negative”,
moving in the direction of position 2 to position 1.

To set our just-configured 10 position actuator to move in a clockwise direction:

1. On the main menu, use the arrow buttons to highlight

Valve Setup. Press the HOME/SETUP button.

2. Use the DOWN arrow button to highlight Move Direction.

Press the HOME/SETUP button.

3. Use the DOWN arrow button to highlight Clockwise.

Press the HOME/SETUP button.
