3. Storage
If your actuator cannot be installed
immediately, store it in a dry place until
you are ready to connect incoming
cables.
If the actuator has to be installed but
cannot be cabled it is recommended
that the plastic transit cable entry plugs
are replaced with metal plugs which
are sealed with PTFE tape.
The Rotork double-sealed construction
will preserve internal electrical
components perfectly if left
undisturbed.
It is not necessary to remove any
electrical compartment covers in order
to commission the IQT actuator.
Rotork cannot accept responsibility for
deterioration caused on-site once the
covers are removed.
Every Rotork actuator has been fully
tested before leaving the factory to
give years of trouble free operation,
providing it is correctly commissioned,
installed and sealed.

8 IQT3 manual – Section: Operating your IQT Actuator
4. Operating your IQT Actuator
4.1 Operating by Hand
WARNING
With respect to handwheel
operation of Rotork electric
actuators, under no circumstances
should any additional lever device
such as a wheel-key or wrench
be applied to the handwheel in
order to develop more force when
closing or opening the valve as
this may cause damage to the
valve and/or actuator or may cause
the valve to become stuck in the
seated/ backseated position.
Keep clear of the handwheel
when engaging hand operation.
Actuators driving valves via
extension shafts may be subject
to retained shaft torsion which
can cause the handwheel to rotate
when hand operation is engaged.
To engage handwheel drive pull the
Hand/Auto lever into “Hand” position
and turn the handwheel to engage the
clutch. The lever can now be released
where it will return to its original
position. The handwheel will remain
engaged until the actuator is operated
electrically when it will automatically
disengage and return to motor drive.
If required for local lockout purposes
the Hand/Auto lever can be locked in
either position using a padlock with a
6.5 mm hasp.
Locking the lever in the "hand"
position prevents electrical operation of
the actuator moving the valve.
4.2 Operating Electrically
Check that power supply voltage
agrees with that on the actuator
nameplate. Switch on power supply.
It is not necessary to check phase
rotation.
Do not operate the actuator
electrically without first checking,
using the infra-red Setting Tool,
that at least the Basic Settings have
been made (refer to Section 8).
Selecting Local/Stop/Remote
Operation
The red selector enables either Local
or Remote control, lockable in each
position using a padlock with a
6.5 mm hasp.
When the selector is locked in the
Local or Remote positions the Stop
facility is still available. The selector can
also be locked in the Stop position to
prevent electrical operation by Local or
Remote control.
Fig. 4.2.1 IQT3 Local Controls
Local Control
With the red selector positioned at
Local (anti-clockwise) the adjacent
black knob can be turned to select
Open or Close. For Stop, turn red knob
clockwise.
Remote Control
Rotate the red selector to the Remote
position (clockwise), this allows remote
control signals to operate the actuator.
Local Stop can still be used by turning
the red knob anti-clockwise.

6.5 Securing Actuator to Valve
Before engagement ensure that the
actuator and valve are in the same
position (i.e. closed) and the drive bush-
machining matches the stem position.
Actuator position can be determined
using the display (refer to section 3.3
page 4) and if necessary can be moved
using the handwheel (refer to section
3.1 page 3). It may be necessary to
adjust the stop bolts to enable sufficient
travel. Refer to section 5.6.
Tighten down onto valve flange to the
required torque, see table B.

Fig. 7.1.1 Terminal numbers refer to connections as shown on the actuator circuit diagram
WARNING:
Ensure all power supplies are
isolated before removing actuator
covers.
Check that the supply voltage agrees
with that stamped on actuator
nameplate.
A switch or circuit breaker must be
included in the wiring installation or
the actuator. The switch or circuit
breaker must meet the relevant
requirements of IEC60947-1 and
IEC60947-3 and be suitable for the
application. The switch or circuit
breaker must not disconnect the
protective earth conductor. The switch
or circuit breaker must be mounted
as close to the actuator as possible
and shall be marked to indicate that
it is the disconnect device for that
particular actuator. The actuator
must be protected with overcurrent
protection devices rated in accordance
with publications PUB002-018 (3-phase
actuators) or PUB002-019 (single-phase
actuators). The switch or circuit breaker
shall disconnect both poles of a three
phase supply.
WARNING:
The maximum supply for actuators
connected to phase-earthed systems
is 500 VAC.
7.2
Earth/Ground Connections
A lug with a 6 mm diameter hole is
cast adjacent to the conduit entries for
attachment of an external protective
earthing strap by a nut and bolt. An
internal earth terminal is also provided,
however it must not be used alone as
the Protective Earth connection.
7.3
Removing Terminal Cover
Using a 6 mm Allen key loosen the four
captive screws evenly. Do not attempt
to lever off the cover with a screwdriver
as this will damage the O-ring seal
and may damage the flamepath on a
certified unit.
Actuators containing a Setting Tool
fitted to the actuator are identified
with a self-adhesive yellow label on the
outside of the terminal compartment
cover.
The wiring code card fixed in the cover
is particular to each actuator and must
not be interchanged with any other
actuator. If in doubt check the serial
number on the code card with that of
the actuator.

entry reducers, glands or conduit may be
used in hazardous locations. In hazardous
locations, only one appropriate certified
Explosion-Proof thread adaptor per entry
may be used.
Remove red plastic transit plugs. Make
cable entries appropriate to the cable
type and size. Ensure that threaded
adaptors, cable glands or conduit are
tight and fully waterproof. Seal unused
cable entries with a steel or brass
threaded plug. In hazardous areas an
appropriately certified threaded blanking
plug must be used without the use of an
interposing thread adaptor.
The cable entries on the actuator
terminal housing are tapped M25
x
