Configuration of the actuator nodes needs to be done by E3C to ensure all
parameters are as intended. We recommend that Eltorque Qualified
Personnel are present at commissioning larger systems to ensure correct
settings for all nodes. See
section 11.4
for an overview of these parameters.
Before the actuator can be operated, the deep sleep state must be cleared.
The deep sleep state is cleared by connecting with E3C and the clear Service
function.
The following section gives an overview of the different states the product
can be in and how the state can be set.
Refer to Table 11 on page 66 for battery lifetime estimates for the different
states.
This is a non-operative state, and the state needs to be cleared to have the
actuator enter an operative state. It is recommended to carefully reviewing
table 8-21 before clearing this state.
This state is automatically activated when the product is attached and
powered the first time. This will be confirmed by three blinks (Red, Yellow,
Green). After clearing this state, the actuator is NOT able to go back to deep
sleep mode unless the battery and power are detached for min 30 seconds
before attaching again. It is not possible to access this state from IAS/E3C.
In normal state, the actuator works as a standard QT Series generation 2.5
and can receive commands from IAS/E3C. However, if the failsafe state or
service state has been activated, the normal state is only resumed if failsafe
or service is cleared from the IAS or E3C.
Normal state cannot be set by IAS/E3C but is the standard state when all
other states are cleared.
This is the state where the product will move to its pre-defined position. All
errors have a timer which can delay the execution of the failsafe protocol. If
the error causing the trigger of failsafe is cleared before the countdown has
finished, the product will go back to normal state. When a failsafe trigger is
active (section B4.vii), the actuator will not react to other commands even
during the pre-configured time delay
The failsafe protocol must be triggered (see
page 69) or manually set from IAS/E3C. The failsafe state can only be reset
from the IAS or E3C, and only when the error causing the trigger of the
protocol is cleared. For example, if the power is lost, the power must be
restored to clear failsafe.
Note!
Be aware that during commissioning minor or major power outtakes can
occur on the vessel.
