Installation guide
DOC.IG.QC54.1 Rev.: 2
5 Initial setup
5.1 Initialization procedure
Initialization sets automatically the switch points for
the position feedback of the actuator (see fig. 5.2)
Additionally, initialization checks if the actuator
and control module configuration match. This
procedure will detect the action type (Fail-Open,
Fail-Close or Fail in last position) and generate an
alert if there is a configuration issue.
This process is done automatically, by the module,
however, the user must start it and the unit must be
wired according chapter 4.
Digital communication is not required but power
supply is necessary (9V to 32V DC).
The initialization process can be started in one of
two ways:
1. Initialization using the local buttons (see §5.2).
2. Initialization using a bus command (see
Reference manual QC54, DOC.RM.QC54.E)
5.2 Initialization using local buttons
1 Press and confirm press the “Status/Auto-Initial-
ization” button
2 Status LED will blink.
3 Actuator will cycle 2 or 3 times.
4 At the end of the routine the Status LED switches
to constant on, meaning the initialization was
successful.
Remark:
- If the button board does not work, see §5.3.1.
- If the Status LED is flashing, the auto initializa-
tion routine has failed, see §5.3.2.
- If the read out in the PLC or DCS is reversed or
readjustment of the exact positions is needed,
or
- If it is not possible to finish the auto-initialization
routine, the limit switch points can be set, by the
bus. In both cases, see Reference manual QC54,
DOC.RM.QC54.E. chapter 3.4
WARNING
* During the initialization routine the actuator /
valve combination will cycle several times.
* Before initialization check whether the
actuator and valve have the same “Open” and
“Closed” positions.
* Ensure that the valve stroke is not obstructed
before the initialization routine is started.

5.3.1 “Factory default settings”, using the
button board.
To set the control module to its factory default set-
tings, do the following;
1. Power must be connected according chapter 4
and the Status LED is either on or flashing.
2. Disconnect the power.
3. Press both reassignment (OPEN and CLOSE) but-
tons.
4. Reconnect power.
5. Status LED goes on.
6. Release the reassignment (OPEN and CLOSE)
buttons.
7. Observe that the Status LED indicates that the
unit is in its “Init Default” state (Flashing, see
§5.2)
5.3.2 If auto initialization procedure has failed
(Status LED is flashing)
1. Check supply pressure
2. Check Actuator assembly code (see Installation
& Operation Manual FieldQ Valve Actuator,
DOC.IOM.Q.E)
3. Repeat the initialization procedure.
4. When the actuator does not move within 10
seconds, the auto initialization will fail.
5. To solve this either;
- Perform the “default setting” procedure (see
§5.3.1) and repeat the initialization proce-
dure (see §5.2), or
- Set the limit switch points individually by the
bus see Reference manual QC54,
DOC.RM.QC54.E chapter 3.4.
6 Check functioning
To perform a function test, please see chapter 3 of
Reference manual QC54, DOC.RM.QC54.E.
- After checking the functioning mount the control
module cover to the housing (see figure 3.1).

8 Optional Controls
8.1 Manual Control options
(see figure 8.1)
For commissioning, emergency or maintenance
purposes, the FieldQ can be supplied with one or two
Manual Control options. These can operate the spool
t valve(s) inside the module and as such operate the
actuator, when there is air pressure available, but no
control signal or power supply.
8.1.1 Mounting Manual Control
1. To add a Manual Control, remove the plug(s)
in front of the module and turn in the Manual
Control.
- For normal operation the module should be
fitted with one Manual Control.
- For Double Acting with a Fail-in-Last-Position
function, two Manual Control can be fitted.
8.1.2 Manual Control operation
1. The Manual Control has a “Push & Lock” func-
tion:
- To operate the Manual Control, use a screw
driver, push to activate and release to de-
activate the pilot valves.
- If required turn it 45°, to lock it in position
and keep the actuator in its operated state.
2. In case of a Fail in Last Position configuration
with two manual controls:
- The manual control on the right side (default
location) will pressurize the central air cham-
ber and cause the actuator to rotate counter
clock wise. For reverse acting
FieldQ actuators (Assembly code CC) the
actuator will rotate clock wise.
- The manual control on the left side (Location
for 2nd Manual Control) will pressurize the
end cap air chambers and cause the actuator
to rotate clock wise. For reverse acting
FieldQ actuators (Assembly code CC) the
actuator will rotate counter clock wise.
- In order to operate one of the manual con-
trol, be sure the opposite manual control is
de-activated and unlocked.

8.2 Speed control option
(see figure 8.2).
The FieldQ can be supplied with a Speed Control
option. One throttle is required for Spring Return
actuators and up to two for Double Acting actua-
tors.
The speed control throttle controls the air flow
in and out of an air chamber and as such limits
the speed of the “Opening” and “Closing” stroke
simultaneously
8.2.1 Mounting Speed Control throttle(s):
1. Remove the plug(s) at the side of the module
and turn in the throttle (2).
2. Spring Return actuators: Use the top entry only.
3. Double acting actuators: Use both bottom and
top entries.
- For standard actuators, the top entry will
throttle the closing stroke.
- For standard actuators, the bottom entry will
throttle the opening stroke.
- For reverse acting actuators, the opposite
strokes will be throttled.
8.2.2 Adjusting Speed Control throttle(s):
1. Remove the nut cap (1).
2. Clockwise rotation of the adjustment screw
reduces the speed.
3. Counter clockwise rotation of the adjustment
screw increases the speed.
4. Replace the nut cap.
