1 - Introduction
Actuators used in many industries sometimes
have to be mounted in places where it is
hazardous, inconvenient or just unpleasant for
a human to operate. In these cases it is useful to
be able to see the status and locally operate an
actuator from a safe distance.
Typically in this situation you would be faced with a simplistic
interface for basic operation and indication, however Rotork’s
enhanced solution allows the user to have an exact replication
of the actuator interface.
Using the same display and controls interface from the
IQ 3rd generation actuator, users can remotely operate,
interrogate and configure the IQ actuator from up to 100 m
distance. Due to the familiar, feature rich interface, set up
couldn’t be simpler using the Rotork Bluetooth®Setting Tool
Pro supplied with the IQ.
Retaining the full functionality of the IQ, dataloggers can be
viewed and downloaded locally at the Remote Hand Station
(RHS) instead of gaining access to the actuator. Power for
the RHS is supplied by the actuator, removing the need for
supplementary power supplies.
The following instructions must be followed and integrated
with your safety program when installing and using Rotork
Controls products:
• Read and save all instructions prior to installing, operating
and servicing this product.
• If you don’t understand any of the instructions, contact
Rotork Controls for clarification.
• Follow all warnings, cautions and instructions marked on,
and supplied with, the product.
• Inform and educate personnel in the proper installation,
operation and maintenance of the product.
• Install equipment as specified in Rotork Controls
installation instructions and per applicable local and
national codes. Connect all products to the proper
electrical sources.
• To ensure proper performance, use qualified personnel to
install, operate, update and maintain the unit.
• When replacement parts are required, ensure that the
qualified service technician uses replacement parts
specified by Rotork Controls. Substitutions may
result in fire, electrical shock, other hazards, or improper
equipment operation.
• Keep all product protective covers in place (except
when installing, or when maintenance is being performed
by qualified personnel), to prevent electrical shock,
personal injury or damage to the product.
• Operation of product in an inappropriate fashion
may cause harm or damage to unit or other equipment
surroundings.

2 - Health and Safety
This manual has been produced to enable a competent user
to install, operate, adjust and inspect the IQ3 Remote Hand
Station (RHS).
The electrical installation, maintenance and use of the
RHS should be carried out in accordance with the National
Legislation and Statutory Provisions relating to the safe use of
this equipment applicable to the site of installation.
For the UK: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the
guidance given in the applicable edition of the ‘IEE Wiring
Regulations’ should be applied. Also the user should be fully
aware of their duties under the Health and Safety at Work
Act 1974.
For the USA: NFPA70, National Electrical Code®is applicable.
The mechanical installation should be carried out as outlined
in this manual and also in accordance with any relevant
national standard codes of practice. If the RHS nameplate
indicates that it is suitable for use in Potentially Explosive
Atmospheres (Hazardous Areas) then the RHS is suitable for
use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 (or Div 1 and Div 2) hazardous area
classifications, as defined by the RHS's nameplate marking.
For Canada: CEC, Canadian Electrical Code is applicable.
Any equipment connected to the RHS should be of an
equivalent (or better) hazardous area certification. The
installation, maintenance and use of the RHS installed in a
hazardous area must be carried out by a competent person
and in accordance with all relevant codes of practice for the
particular Hazardous Area certification.
Any inspection or repair of a Hazardous Area approved RHS
should not be undertaken unless it conforms to National
Legislation and Statutory Provisions relating to the specific
Hazardous Area.
Only Rotork approved replacement parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should any modification or alteration
be carried out on the unit, as this could invalidate the
conditions under which its certification was granted.
Access to live electrical conductors is forbidden in a
Hazardous Area unless it is done under a special permit to
work, otherwise all power should be isolated and the RHS
moved to a non-hazardous area for repair or attention.
Only persons competent by virtue of their training or
experience should be allowed to install, maintain and repair
Rotork equipment. Work undertaken must be carried out
in accordance with instructions in the manual. The user and
those persons working on this equipment should be familiar
with their responsibilities under any statutory provisions
relating to the Health and Safety of their workplace.
WARNING: Enclosure Materials
The RHS is manufactured from aluminium alloy with stainless
steel fasteners and terminal enclosure fasteners using 12.9
grade high tensile carbon steel.
The cover window is toughened glass which is retained with a
2-part silicone cement.
The user must ensure that the operating environment and any
materials surrounding the RHS cannot lead to a reduction in
the safe use of, or the protection afforded by, the RHS.
Where appropriate the user must ensure the RHS is suitably
protected against its operating environment.

3 - Remote Hand Station Mounting
The Remote Hand Station (RHS) can be mounted either
directly on a wall or to a pole using suitable ‘C’ brackets.
Space should be left around the housing to allow for the
fitting of cable glands or conduit. Positioning of the RHS
display should be such that easy viewing and operation can
be carried out at eye level. Removal of the main display cover
is not necessary in order to mount the unit. The only cover
that needs to be removed is the terminal housing when
cabling to the actuator.
The back housing may be mounted in any position (90o
increments) to accommodate different cable / conduit entry
requirements. In order to maintain the correct viewing angle
of the display, rotate the display cover to suit.
NOTE: Maximum Unit Weight = 9 kg
3.1 Locate a suitable place (flat vertical wall or structure)
to mount the RHS unit. The display and controls should
be accessible and easily viewable.
3.2 Mark up a template using the diagrams above.
Use a template to mark the wall or structure.
3.3 Ensure any work permits are obtained before starting
work. Prepare the mounting holes using suitable tools.
3.4 Select suitable fixings by referring to the weight above
for details of the RHS assembly.
3.5 Install the RHS unit to the structure. Tighten the fixings
to ensure a secure hold.

4 - Electrical Connections
The RHS unit is powered from the IQ3 actuator so does
not require any supplementary power supply or protection
device. The single cable entry is located at the bottom of the
terminal housing and is supplied M25 as standard. A thread
adaptor can be supplied for other thread sizes including
imperial threads.
The interconnecting cable is not supplied. Below is a table of
the minimum cable specification for remote mounting up to
50 m and up to 100 m.

Cable Entry
Only appropriately certified flameproof cable glands or
conduit may be used in hazardous locations. The cable entry
is tapped M25 x 1.5p. In hazardous locations, only one
certified flameproof thread adaptor can be used.
For installation in USA and Canada
Conduit seals must be installed at the enclosure. M25 x 1.5p
to either 1/2", 3/4", 1", 11/4" or 11/2" NPT thread adaptors are
factory fitted.
CAUTION: Wiring may exceed 70 ºC in a 70 ºC ambient.

Redefining Flow Control
Please follow the instructions in section 3 for mounting the RHS
before attempting to cable up the unit.
4.1 Once the cable specification has been selected, cut to
the appropriate length (leaving approx. 200 mm at
each end for final termination).
4.2 Feed the cable to both the IQ3 and RHS terminal
compartments and secure the glands to ensure
watertight integrity is maintained.
4.3 Strip back the insulation and braiding so that the inner
twisted pair cores are exposed and fit AMP type ring
terminal crimps to each wire and shield braid. Insulate
the braid to prevent short circuits.
4.4 Connect the terminals in each compartment to the
correct terminal number by following the wiring
diagram supplied.

The Remote Hand Station provides a remote mountable display
which allows the operator to monitor and control an actuator
mounted in an inaccessible location. All operations which
could be performed at the actuator will be duplicated at the
Remote Hand Station, including configuration setup, data log
download and local control operation.
In order to use the RHS for control, the selectors on both the
actuator and RHS have to be set according to the table below:
