The Actuator Battery

The battery supports the actuator position
Module 1K updating circuits and the position (LCD)
display when the main power supply is
turned off . It ensures the current position
is displayed when manual operation takes
place with the main power turned off.
The battery is not required to retain any
actuator settings.

WARNING
The battery holder in the actuator
gearcase also protects the user from
the hazardous live connections inside
the actuator and therefore it must not
be damaged. The actuator must be
isolated or disconnected if the battery
holder has to be removed from the
actuator gearcase.
A unique circuit has been incorporated
into the battery function of the IQ,
effectively reducing the overall drain and
significantly increasing the battery life.
Tests show for a typical actuator, a
battery life of 7 years can be expected.
Allowing for a conservative margin,
Rotork recommend that the battery
should be replaced every 5 years.
Battery level status is indicated by an icon
on the actuator display.

BATTERY TYPES

For European hazardous area certified actuators (ATEX / IEC Ex) use a
lithium manganese dioxide battery as stated in Table 1 BELOW.

For FM and CSA certified enclosures use an Ultralife U9VL lithium

manganese dioxide battery. Equivalent, UL recognised, batteries may
be used.

For watertight (WT) actuator enclosures Rotork recommend a lithium

manganese dioxide battery, however any equivalent 9V battery may be
used.

If in doubt regarding the correct battery type, contact Rotork.

The battery is situated in its

own compartment located in the
gearcase.

Using an 8mm allen key (hex

wrench) remove the access
plug.
