Actuator with lithium battery

In the standard version, the actuator is provided with a lithium battery to keep visible the local position display, to back-up the RTC (real-time clock) for diagnostic functions, to test the battery charge, and to update the remote outputs (output relays status when set as “open limit” or “close limit” and 4 - 20 mA when externally supplied) in case of electrical power failure and manual override operations.

The program runs the functions relevant to the battery only if the appropriate flag “lithium battery” is configured with “present”. If the battery is absent or if the above functions are not requested, the flag “lithium battery” should be configured with “absent”.

! CAUTION : For actuators provided with lithium batteries, make sure that the display is still visible when the power is off and that there is no “Battery low” Warning message. If the “Battery low” Warning appears, replace the battery (see Section 11.3, Lithium Battery Change). Always replace batteries if the actuator has been subjected to long periods without power (see Section 12, Troubleshooting).

Configuration procedure

• Move the local selector to OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN and STOP. Select the language and enter the password according to the instructions (see “Entering the set-up mode”). When the message displayed is “SET-UP MODE OK?” press YES. Press YES to select the “Actuator Setup” menu, press NO to scroll through the list of available routines, and then press YES to select “Miscellaneous”.
• Press NO to scroll the list of routines and press YES to select “Lithium Battery”. Press YES if the setting is correct; otherwise, press NO to change. Press YES when the value is correct.

Replace lithium battery

• Isolate the main supply to the actuator and all other control voltages.
• Remove the terminal board cover.
• Disconnect two wires (+) (-) from the main board.
• Bring the cover to a safe area. When in this safe area: — Remove the label.
