This function will allow the customisation and orientation of the actuator mounting onto the desired
Valve.
It is recommended that this process is carried out (if possible) before the valve is installed onto the
pipeline and id feasible carried out in the closed position. The RIFT® 200 will allow the calibration to be
carried out in either the CLOSED or the OPEN positions.

PROCEDURE TO USE CALIBRATION MODE TO MOUNT TO A, F07 & F10
FLANGE
(a) Move the actuator to the closed position.
(b) Mount the RIFT® 200 actuator onto the valve (using the open/close pads in the manual position to
align the F07 & F10 mounting positions.
(c) Secure the actuator onto the valve
CALIBRATION MODE WITH THE ANDROID RIFT ACTUATOR
APP
This feature will allow the OPEN/CLOSED positions for the RIFT® 200 to be calibrated to the required
positions on the Valve.
The requested position for either Open or Closed can be Adjusted with the +/
-
buttons or by manually
entering the required Angle manually. When the desired position for either Open or Closed is achieved
the option to
“
SET OPEN/CLOSED HERE
”
should be selected and finally
“
Write to Flash
”
to commit those
changes to the Firmware.
A prompt will ask, when completed adjustment, if you wish to maintain the last set working angle (e.g.
90°) if YES is selected the opposite angle will be adjusted from the new set position, if NO is selected the
working angle will be assumed to be the difference between Open and Closed.
