In the COMMANDS menu, set Auxiliary 1 (or 2) to «Partial Stroke» and adjust the following parameters :
- Type of command contact (open or closed contact)
- Operating time : input the full stroke time in seconds
- Start pos. Select if the test shall start from an open or a closed valve position.
If the start position is not the one selected, then a warning «Partial Stroking Default» is sent out.
- Stroke%. Set the travel in % for the partial stroking (default value 10%).
In the SIGNALLING\REMOTE menu and set the relays as desired (relays 3 and 4 are generally used
for this purpose)
- Type of contact for this signal (open or closed contact)
- Information : Partial stroking in progress or in fault.
If the actuator is equipped with a fieldbus interface, signals are available through the bus. In this
case, no relay configuration is necessary. The signal «Partial Stroke faultis automatically acknowle-
dged as soon as the actuator position changes of 2% or more.
19 LOCAL COMMUNICATION WITh PC
The actuator has a 2-way read/write interface for communicating with a Pocket PC or laptop computer.
The INTELLIPOCKET and INTELLISOFT software provides access to all INTELLI+ functions. Versions
prior to version 3.0 need to be updated.
Preset configurations can be uploaded instantly and it is also possible to view the torque/position
curve for the most recent movement (See the software handbook for further details).
Pocket PC : BERNARD CONTROLS can supply a rugged Pocket PC for site use: waterproof or explo-
sion-proof versions are available. The device is supplied with the software pre-installed.
19.1 LOCAL INFRARED COMMUNICATION
The system must be in «local» mode in order to perform CHANGE or SET UP functions (i.e. local /
remote selector on local).
Use INTELLI KIT to communicate with a laptop computer. The kit includes an infrared module plus a
CD-ROM with the INTELLISOFT software. The infrared module can be attached to the actuator dis-
play window to ensure easy communication, even if the window is not facing in the right direction.
The infrared module is to be connected to the laptop's USB port. A 2-metre cable is supplied (longer
length available as an option).
The Pocket PC must have an infrared port and be running INTELLIPOCKET software. Contact us for
information on Pocket PC interface compatibility.
Once communication is established, the Ir (infrared) symbol is shown on the actuator display. The
PC interface has priority over the local controls.
19.2 LOCAL bLUETOOTh COMMUNICATION (OPTION)
From INTELLISOFT V3.01 software and only if Bluetooth option has been installed inside INTELLI+
control board, it's possible to communicate without cable, up to a distance of 10 meters.
Important : For a PC conection, use a Bluetooth key, class II - Version 2.1 + EDR (Minimum). If your computer
has an internal Bluetooth connectivity, disable this option in advance.
Connection
By default, the Bluetooth option is activated on actuator. The red selector knob has to be positioned
on remote or local position to be able to communicate. INTELLISOFTor INTELLIPOCKET will automa-
tically detect the actuator. When connecting, the two leds below INTELLI+ display will blinck simul-
taneously and Bluetooth logo will appear. A specific Bluetooth password will be requested. Factory
setting is 0000. To secure the programming, it's highly recommended to change this password.
In «local» position, it is possible to : Check, Set up, Change, Drive the actuator, Retrieve the torque curves
In «remote» position, it is possible to Check, Change, Retrieve the torque curves

Bluetooth menu
To access the Bluetooth menu :
Select CHANGE in the MENU and OK
Enter the password and OK
Select BLUETOOTH and OK.
The PIN code can be modified. This code will be requested when attempting to connect to the
actuator. On/off allows to activate/desactivate the Bluetooth connection. This option is 'on' by
default and is not memorized in case of actuator reboot.
Note : The infrared communication is desactivated on actuators equipped with a Bluetooth interface
.
20 SETTING AND VIEWING TORQUE VALUES
17.1 CLOSING TYPE
The actuator closes on position in the standard configuration. The option to close on torque is normally
selected in the SET UP menu, although this can also be done via the CHANGE menu:
Select change in the MENU and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque in the CHANGE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select the closing type in the TORQUE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select on (torque) and turn to OK to confirm.
The (torque) o/c option is for opening and closing on torque.
20.2 TORQUE SETTING
The actuator is delivered with a torque limiting system
set in accordance with the order. Check the following
points if the torque limiter is activated during operation:
- valve stem is clean and properly lubricated,
- valve stem not seized in the stem nut,
- valve gland not too tight.
If the torque needs to be increased, first obtain the approval of
the valve supplier and then proceed as follows:
Select change in the MENU and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque in the CHANGE menu and turn to OK to confirm.
Select torque setting in the TORQUE menu and turn to OK to
confirm.
Select the setting you want and turn to OK to confirm.
Use the blue selector to increase or decrease the value.
The minimum setting is 40%. Hold the selector in the up or
down position to scroll through values faster.
