SI Pro Actuators

Instructions for Safe Use, Installation,

Basic Setup and Maintenance

This manual contains important safety

information. Please ensure it is thoroughly
read and understood before installing,
operating or maintaining the equipment.

The Rotork Setting Tool and Setting Tool Pro allows actuator control,
indication and protection functions to be configured to suit site
requirements. In addition, the new Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool also
allows downloading of Datalogger and uploading/downloading of
configuration files. Files are transferred to and from the Rotork Bluetooth®
Setting Tool via Insight II.
It is essential that all the actuator settings are checked for compatibility with
the valve, process and control system requirements before the actuator is put
into service. Please read this publication before proceeding.
When Rotork personnel or nominated agents are contracted to carry out site
commissioning and/or acceptance, documentation of commissioned actuator
configuration can be made available for customer records. Rotork Setting Tool Pro

is low.
This equipment includes some external non-metallic parts, including the
outer protective coating. The user must ensure that equipment is not
installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions
(such as high-pressure steam) which might cause a build-up of electrostatic
charges on non-conducting surfaces. For this reason, cleaning of the
equipment should only be done with a damp cloth.
