Configuration Options
The F01-2000 actuator can be totally configured from the local interface by means of a
series of menus that can be selected from the alphanumeric display. The operator is guided
through the different displays by answering YES or NO to the appropriate prompt (change?
OK?, view?, next?, etc.) in the right corner of the lower row of the alphanumeric display.
To access the menus: set the local selector in OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN/YES
and STOP. The alphanumeric display will now show the present language. Press YES if the
language is correct, press NO to scroll the list of available languages and then YES to select.
After choosing the language, the next step is the selection among view and set-up mode.
Use “View” mode to see the actuator configuration, and use “Set-up” mode to change
the present configuration. Unauthorized access to the set-up mode is prevented by a
4-character alphanumeric password. The actuator is supplied by Biffi with the default
password “0 0 0 0”.
Once the correct password has been entered, the actuator parameters can be configured.
The present password can also be modified by the “set password” routine in the
Maintenance menu. After entering the new password, the old one ceases to be valid, so it is
important to record the password in a secure location for future retrieval.
The configuration functions (view and set-up mode) are grouped in 4 main menus:
Actuator set-up, Nameplate, Valve data, Maintenance.
Actuator set-up
This menu includes the routines that allow the actuator to be configured according to the
requested control mode and to the valve it is mounted on.
