Product Description 

The 985-047 Actuator Commissioning Tool provides 
a portable instrument for exercising, calibrating, and 
testing resistive, proportional (voltage/current), 
floating, and on/off actuators. LED display shows 
feedback voltages or output. LEDs indicate 
operating mode selection and auxiliary switch 
contact closure. The Commissioning Tool combines 
accurate and reliable technology in a user-friendly, 
yet economical package.  

The Commissioning Tool saves on installation time 
and is compatible with all Siemens actuators and 

most competitors’ models. A plug

-in transformer or 

24 Vac power supply input enables the 
Commissioning Tool to output resistance, 
AC voltage, DC voltage, and current for controlling 
an actuator. It requires no controller hook-up, which 
makes equipment calibration, setup, and adjustment 
a quick and easy process.

Features and Benefits 

 

Universal Compatibility 

Works with all Siemens actuators, most 

competitors’ actuators, and other voltag

e, 

current, or resistance controlled equipment 

 

Compact Portable Unit 

Allows easy handling in the field 

 

Pushbutton Selectable Output/Feedback 

Modes 

Gives user a complete testing device. No 
separate instruments are required for field 
testing 

 

Digital and LED feedback Displays 

Provides user with clearly readable voltage 
and auxiliary switch feedback in dimly lit 
conditions 

 

Plug-in Terminal Block Test Lead 

Connections 

Accommodates easy interchangeability of 
multiple sets of test leads
