surrounding the actuator cannot lead to a reduction in the safe
use of, or the protection afforded by the actuator.
Where appropriate the user must ensure the actuator is
suitably protected against its operating environment.
WARNING: OPERATING BY HAND
Where actuators are supplied with the optional handwheel, note that under no circumstances should any
additional lever device such as a wheel key or wrench
be applied to the hand-wheel in order to develop more
force when closing or opening the valve. This may cause
damage to the valve and/or actuator and it may also
cause the valve to become stuck in the seated or back
seated position.
WARNING: RESERVE POWER PACK
Where actuators are supplied with the reserve Power
Pack Assembly please note that the actuator output
shaft may move after removal of the power supply.
Move the Knob Selector to the ‘STOP’ position to
prevent any unwanted electrical movement. The CVA
actuator and in particular the power pack contain no
user serviceable components and the top cover assembly
must be removed by suitably qualified personnel only.

Storage
Receiving / Inspection
Carefully inspect for shipping damage. Damage to the
shipping carton is usually a good indication that it has
received rough handling. Report all damage immediately to
the freight carrier and your local CVA distributor.
Unpack the product and information packet taking care to
save the shipping carton and any packing material should
return be necessary. Verify that the items on the packing list
or bill of lading agree with your own documentation.
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 any plastic transit cable entry plugs are
replaced with PTFE sealed metal plugs.
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 CVL actuator.

RESERVE POWER PACK - (OPTIONAL)
The actuator can be fitted with an optional ‘Reserve Power
Pack’ consisting of Super Capacitors to allow the actuator to
go to a pre-determined position on power failure.
On power up the super capacitors require a charging period
during which time the actuator electrical operation will be
inhibited. This could take up to two minutes.
NOTE: Electrical operation is inhibited and the LED will
flash during the charging period.
On loss of power supply the actuator will carry out its
designated fail-to-position function. The LED remains
illuminated until the energy stored in the capacitors has
depleted.
WARNING
Where actuators are supplied with the reserve Power
Pack Assembly please note that the actuator output shaft
may move after removal of the power supply. Move
the Knob Selector to the ‘STOP’ position to prevent any
unwanted electrical movement before carrying out any
maintenance or removal of the unit from the valve.
After disconnection of the actuator power supply wait
until the LED indicator on the top cover assembly has
extinguished before attempting to remove the actuator
from the valve. Under no circumstances attempt to
remove the actuator or adjust the output drive shaft
connection to the valve stem whilst the top cover LED
is illuminated.
The CVA main housing of the actuator and in particular
the power pack contain no user serviceable components
and the top cover assembly must be removed by suitably
qualified personnel only.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY COVER ASSEMBLY TO GAIN

It is essential that the setup procedure is carried
out when the valve is not under working process
conditions, as full valve movement will occur. If
actuators are fitted with a failsafe capacitor pack
the unit may operate the valve on removal of the
power supply. To prevent this occurrence, it will be
necessary to re-configure the failsafe action, see
Page 39. Alternatively ‘STOP’ can be selected to
prevent unwanted movement.
TM
Mobile operating system.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the actuator is mounted correctly to
the valve.
The height of the yoke or pillar and mounting plate, in relation
to the top of the valve spindle is critical to ensure full stroke
movement of the valve. Refer to Rotork publication P110E for
further details.
The Installation & Setup will include the following procedures:
1. Ensure valve is closed and safe (Offline).
2. Actuator output shaft is retracted.

It is now possible to operate the actuator using the Enlight
program. Moving the position control slider will extend or
retract the output shaft to enable it to be connected to
the valve spindle. Coarse control will allow full travel of the
actuator. Fine control is used for small adjustments of the
actuator spindle.
Incrementing the position slider using the arrows
will vary position by 1% for coarse and 0.1% for fine
control.
When the position control is operated for the first time a
warning will appear to indicate that the actuator will be taken
offline and will not respond to remote control commands.
CAUTION
The actuator will move to the indicated position on the
Position Control Slider.
Select OK
Click on the ‘OK’ button and the actuator will be taken offline
and will now move to the position as indicated on the position
control slider.
The actuator is now unavailable for remote control.
Connect the output shaft to valve spindle.
Using the position control slider move the output shaft to
the full actuator output shaft travel limit or until it reaches
the valve spindle leaving minimal gap and ensure there is no
misalignment between the two shafts. If the actuator output
shaft reaches its fully extended position it will be necessary
to retract the shaft a sufficient distance to ensure a tight shut
off in thrust seating valves.
Fig. 23.1
WARNING
It is critical that there is correct alignment between
actuator output shaft and the valve stem.
Note: Mis-alignment will result in increased mechanical
wear and possible damage to the valve stem.
If the output shaft and valve stem are not aligned correctly
then adjust the mounting position of the yoke and actuator
as necessary.

Installation & Setup Guide
Connect the output shaft to the valve spindle using a
suitable coupling.
It is now possible to set the end of travel limits.
Quick Setup Wizard
If the valve is to be commissioned over its full stroke the quick
setup wizard is a fast and efficient way to set the end of
travel limits. The quick set up wizard will allow the actuator to
find the end of travel by measuring the output thrust. If the
valve is not capable of accepting thrust in the open direction
it is possible to set a fixed limit.
Select Quick Setup Wizard
Set thrust limits
The default thrust values for the Auto setup are automatically
set to 40% of rated thrust in both directions. Adjust if more
thrust is required to move the valve through stroke.
Set basic actuator parameters
The MOV tag can be edited. Use the keyboard to edit the
MOV tag field.
Shaft Action
Select Extend or Retract output shaft to suit valve operation.
Close/Open Stop
Set the end of travel stop function for Thrust or Limit to suit
the characteristics of the valve.
Thrust
The actuator can be set to apply its selected output ‘Thrust’ to
the valve at the end of travel where tight shut off is required.
Limit
Alternatively it can be set to the ‘Limit’ function to disengage
motor drive and stop the valve at a predetermined position
where the valve does not require the seating force to be
applied to the valve seat or end of mechanical valve travel.
Click on the ‘START’ box to save changes to the actuator and
initiate the Auto Setup routine.

CAUTION
Initiating an Auto Setup will move the valve through
its full stroke.
WARNING
Steps 1 and 2 must be checked to ensure the thrust,
shaft action and end stops are correctly set or damage
to the valve may occur.
AUTO LIMIT will initiate the auto setting procedure.
FIXED LIMIT will allow the actuator to find the closed limit
by measuring the thrust but will allow the open limit to be
set at a measured distance. The distance can be edited in the
text box.
NOTE: Ensure that limit is selected for the open stop if fixed
limit is applied.

Direction Change Threshold Distance
The distance the actuator must move before a direction
change is registered by the datalogger as a cycle.
This is used to prevent small dither movements from
being counted as these are considered too small to cause
valve wear.
The default setting is 0.25% of overall valve travel.
Total Direction Changes Before Alarm
Can be used to generate an alarm when a set number of
direction changes has occurred.
Total Travel Before Alarm
Can be used to generate an alarm when a set distance has
been travelled by the actuator output drive shaft ft/meters.
Bumpless Transfer
On start up of the process or after manual intervention the
actuator could be required to move a long way to its setpoint.
If the actuator moved at too great a speed this could cause
a ‘bump’ or instability in the control system loop leading to
valve overshoot and oscillation.
To reduce this effect the ‘bumpless transfer’ reduces the
actuator output speed to a lower level if the distance to travel
is more than a pre-determined value. Once the actuator
arrives within the Bumpless Transfer Distance (BTD) area it will
resume travel at its normal speed.
Bumpless Transfer Distance (BTD)
The bumpless transfer distance is a pre defined percentage
of position error that will reduce the actuator speed to a
pre-determined speed.
The Default Bumpless Transfer Distance is 5%.
Bumpless Transfer Speed
The speed in % of rated maximum speed that the actuator
will revert to if the bumpless transfer distance is exceeded.
The actuator will resume normal set speed once it arrives
within the preset BTD.
The Default Bumpless Transfer Speed is 40% of rated.
