Case, Plug-in Transformer, and Three Extra Terminal
Blocks.
Application Overview
The Actuator Commissioning Tool has
four pushbutton selectable modes of operation as
follows:
Table 1. Output Control Signal Features.
Mode of
Operation
Description
Resistive *
0 to 135 ohms or 0 to 1k ohms for
use with resistive input actuators.
Voltage
0 to 20 Vdc for use with
proportional actuators
Current
0 to 20 mA for use with
proportional actuators
Floating Control
24 Vac (nominal) for use with
floating control and on/off
actuators
* The resistive mode is the default operating
mode when the commissioning tool is not
powered. To select other operating modes, the
ON/OFF switch must be turned ON. LEDs
indicate which mode is active.
The Commissioning Tool also provides additional
testing features as follows:
Table 2. Additional Testing Features.
Feature
Function
Power for Actuators
A 24 Vac (nominal) signal is
provided to power actuators that
are not externally powered.
Bias (for feedback
potentiometers)
A 5 Vdc bias signal is provided
through a 330 ohm resistor for
resistive feedback testing (for
feedback potentiometers).
Voltmeter
Measures 0 to 30 Vdc signal.
Switch Testing
LEDs display auxiliary contact
closure.
Use with dry contacts only!
The Commissioning Tool receives power by either:
•
Applying 24 Vac (nominal) to the INPUTS
terminal block, or
•
Connecting the 120V plug-in transformer
(provided) to its power jack.
