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

rd

IQ 3

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
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.

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
Ac t 1974.

For the USA: NFPA70, National Electrical Code
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.

®

is applicable.

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
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.

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.

o

The back housing may be mounted in any position (90
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.
