GLOBE VALVE/FORTA COMPATIBILITY
The switches on the circuit board should be set before the actuator is installed. There are no other switches or potentiometers that should be
set or adjusted. Actuator travel adjustment must be set as follows upon commissioning: Actuator and valve linked, manual override lever raised
(AUTO), power on, move switch 9 (OP/ADJ) ON and then OFF. Forta closes the valve and opens it fully. The adjustment is  nished by the actua-
tor closing the valve again; the electronic circuitry then adjusts the stroke. It also scales the actuator input signal, output feedback signal, and
optional auxiliary switch outputs to match the valve’s travel. The set values are stored in the EEPROM of the actuator so that they will remain after
a loss of voltage. When the end position adjustment is complete, the actuator starts to control the valve according to the control signal.
Note: Switch 9 (OP/ADJ) must be in the o position for normal operation.
