Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Section 2: Storage and Pre-Installation
VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2 May 2022

Section 2: Storage and Pre-Installation


2.1 Tests to be Carried Out When the Actuator
is Received
If the actuator is received already mounted on the valve, all the below operations should
have already been performed during valve/actuator assembly.
• Check that the display is active.
• Turn the handwheel until the valve is in a completely open position.
• Check that the display reads 100%, which indicates that the valve is completely open.
• Rotate the handwheel clockwise and bring the valve to a completely closed position.
• Check that the display reads 0%, which indicates that the valve is completely
closed. If the test result is satisfactory, the actuator has already been adjusted
and one can proceed with the electrical connection. If the actuator is delivered
separately from the valve or the above procedure shows that the position is
incorrect, all operations described in this manual must be carried out.
• Check that no damage has occurred during transport. Pay particular attention
to the push-buttons, the display area glass, and the selector.
• Check the information on the nameplate. In particular, check the serial number
and performance data (nominal torque, operation speed, protection class, motor
supply voltage, etc.) and verify that this data matches the data on the display
(see Section 10, View Routines).
Make sure all accessories have been received with the shipment as described in the
delivery documentation.

2.2 Storage Procedure


NOTICE
Not following the procedures according to this document will invalidate the product warranty.

2.2.1 General
The actuator leaves the factory in perfect condition, guaranteed by an individual test
certificate. In order to maintain these characteristics until the actuator is installed
on-site, proper procedures must be followed for preservation during the storage period.
ICON3000 actuators are weatherproof to IP66/68; this condition can only be maintained if
the unit is correctly installed on-site and if the actuator was correctly stored. The standard
plastic plugs used to close the cable entries are not weather-proof; their only function is to
prevent the entry of foreign objects during transport.

3.3 Manual Operation


To engage manual operation, depress (by 20°-30°) the lever in the direction shown in
Figure 18 and then let the lever automatically return to its rest position. If no engagement
is obtained, slowly rotate the handwheel and repeat the operation.
Rotate the handwheel to achieve the desired operation (normally clockwise rotation
closes the valve).
A label is located on the handwheel with an arrow showing the closing direction
(clockwise by default). If the closing direction is counterclockwise, the label must be
removed and remounted upside-down.

! WARNING
Do not manually operate the actuator with devices other than the handwheel and the
declutch lever. Using cheater bars, wheel wrenches, pipe wrenches, or other such devices
on the actuator handwheel or declutch lever may cause serious personal injury and/or
damage to the actuator or valve.

3.4 Mounting the Actuator onto the Valve


Lubricate the valve stem.
Thoroughly clean the coupling surfaces of the valve and actuator flanges, and degrease
them carefully since torque is transmitted by friction.
Lift the actuator with slings suitable for its weight.
The actuator will operate properly in any position. When mounted upside-down, a 5 mm
diameter hole should be drilled in the end of the stem cover to avoid build-up of service
fluid or rainwater.

3.4.1 Coupling Type “A”


Place the actuator vertically on the stem, screw the threaded bushing of the coupling block
on the valve stem, and then rotate (normally counterclockwise) until the coupling block
and flange surfaces of the valve are securely in contact.
For safety purposes, rotate the handwheel in the opening direction for about two turns in
order to lift the valve gate from its seat to avoid imparting (during bolt fixing) excessive
axial thrust on the internal parts of the valve and the actuator.
Depending on the conditions of assembly, it could be easier to separate the thrust block
from the actuator and mount it onto the valve yoke.

3.4.2 Coupling Types “B1”, “B2”,”B3” and “B4”


Check the dimensions of the valve mounting details, and pay particular attention to the
protrusions of the valve stem in order to avoid any axial thrust on the internal parts of the
actuator or the valve when the screws are tightened.
Manually engage the actuator using the handwheel and place the actuator vertically on
the valve stem. Perform the coupling operations (with the aid of manual operation if
necessary); make sure no mating parts are forced.

5.2 Electrical Operation


Before connecting power to the actuator check that the voltage is correct and
corresponds to the indications on the nameplate. An incorrect power supply could
cause permanent damage to the electrical components. Checking phase rotation is not
necessary since the actuator is provided with automatic phase rotation correction. Rotate
the 3-position selector switch to OFF and then switch on the power. Do not operate the
actuator without first checking that the configuration is suitable for the required application
(see Section 6.4).
Power supply limits
Voltage: +/- 10% (continuous) +10% -15% (intermittent)
Nominal duty: -5% / 5% according to IEC 60034-1
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): max 5% according to IEC 60034-1
Form and symmetry on voltages and currents: according to IEC 60034-1 (Section 7.2.1.1)

! CAUTION
Working outside the above limitations could damage the actuator.
Be careful if an inverter or generator is used as a power supply.

5.3 Local Control


If no alarm is present after configuring the actuator, place the 3-position selector in LOCAL
and control the actuator with the OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP push-buttons.
If “push-to-run” was selected: the actuator can be driven to the desired position by
pressing and holding the OPEN/YES or CLOSE pushbutton. As the push-button is released,
the motor is de-energized.
If “latched” was selected: as the OPEN or CLOSE push-button is pressed the motor is
energized, and it will continue to run after the control is released. To stop the motor,
press the STOP push-button. To reverse the direction, press the STOP push-button and then
press the push-button relevant to the opposite direction.
In “latched with instant reverse” mode the local controls work as in the “latched” mode,
but to reverse the motor direction one need only press the push-button relevant to the
opposite direction.
Depending on the position of the local selector, the OPEN/YES and CLOSE/NO
push-buttons work as follows:
• OPEN/CLOSE commands if the selector is in the LOCAL position.
• YES/NO to answer prompts in the menu, if the selector is in the OFF or
REMOTE positions.

5.4 Local Indication


By default, the upper display indicates the valve position as a percentage of opening
(open = 100%). The lower display in the upper part shows icons that indicate the actuator
status or the Menu, where the user is operating.
The lower display in the lower part is organized in two lines. The upper line indicates the
actuator status and the 3-position selector status. The lower line indicates the actuator
operation, or the position request % value, according to the configuration.
Two LEDs indicate the actuator position and operating direction (OPEN or CLOSE), while a
third and fourth LED indicate alarms and Bluetooth connectivity respectively.

5.5 Locking the 3-Position Selector


The 3-position selector can be locked in any of its three positions by means of a padlock.

5.6 Remote Control


Place the 3-position selector in REMOTE to transfer the actuator control to a remote device.
Local OPEN or CLOSE operation will be inhibited. Only the local STOP control remains active.
Using the “VIEW and SET-UP” features, one can configure different control modes.
The remote controls are optically-isolated (opto-coupled). A non-regulated 24 V DC
voltage (variable from 23 to 27 V DC, max. 4 W) is available on the actuator terminal board
to supply the remote controls or external devices.

5.6.1 Remote Commands


Using the “VIEW and SET-UP” features, one may configure different control modes.

4 WIRES (see the remote connections diagram in Figure 36)


In “4 wires latched” (OPEN, CLOSE, STOP, COMMON) mode with the OPEN or CLOSE signal
switched to ON, the motor is energized and it will continue to run after the signal returns to
OFF. To stop the motor, press STOP. To reverse the direction, press STOP and then press the
button relevant to the opposite direction. The action of the STOP signal (stop with signal
ON or stop with signal OFF) may be reversed using the VIEW and SET-UP features; see
Section 9.1.4, Remote Controls.

3 WIRES (see the remote connections diagram in Figure 37)


With the "3 wires" option (OPEN, CLOSE, COMMON), the actuator can be driven in either
“push-to-run” or “latched with instant reverse” mode.
In “push-to-run” mode, the actuator can be driven to the desired position by switching
the OPEN or CLOSE signal to ON. As the signal returns to OFF, the motor is de-energized.
In “latched with instant reverse” mode when the OPEN or CLOSE signal switches to
ON, the motor is energized and it continues to run after the signal returns to OFF. If the
signal relevant to the opposite direction goes ON, the actuator reverses its direction and
maintains the new direction if the signal returns to OFF.

2 WIRES (see the remote connections diagram in Figure 38)


With the “2 wires” option, two different activities may be selected:
In “2 wires, signal ON to open”, the actuator opens if the signal switches to ON and closes
if the signal goes to OFF. In “2 wires, signal ON to close”, the actuator closes if the signal
switches to ON and opens if the signal switches to OFF. This option requires two wires
(signal and common).
The circuits associated to the inputs can be supplied by the internally-generated 24 V DC or
by an external 20-125 V DC or 20-120 V AC (50/60 Hz).

updated if the associated conditions for change occur, or are cyclically updated
(every second).
• AS8 relay: a further voltage-free, change-over contact is available on the terminal
board. The conditions that cause the switching of the relay can be viewed and
configured by using the “VIEW and SET-UP” features.
• Contact rating:
Max. voltage 250 V AC / 30 V DC: max. current 5 A.
Min. voltage 5 V DC: min. current 5 mA.

5.6.3 ESD Operation


An ESD (Emergency Shut Down) signal can be sent to the actuator to override any existing
command and to drive the valve to a predetermined position.
The control is not self-maintained; that is, the ESD action continues until the relevant signal
is present. The “VIEW and SET-UP” features can configure the polarity of the ESD signal,
the valve position after the ESD action, and the priority of the ESD function, as described in
Section 9.1.3, ESD Control.
The ESD command is optically-isolated (opto-coupled). The circuits associated with the
input can be supplied by the internally generated 24 V DC or by an external 20-125 V DC or
20-120 V AC (50/60 Hz).
The signal levels are the following:
• Minimum ON signal > 20 V DC or 20 V AC (50/60 Hz).
• Maximum ON signal < 125 V DC or 120 V AC (50/60 Hz).
• Maximum OFF signal < 3 V.
• Current drawn from ESD controls < 15 mA.

! WARNING
Any certification relating to actuator operation in hazardous areas will be invalidated if the
client desires that the motor thermostat be bypassed during ESD operation.

5.6.4 Interlock Inputs


Two additional inputs are available to inhibit actuator movement in the open or closed
direction. The controls are momentary, and the inhibiting action continues until the
relevant signal is present. The interlock controls work when the local selector is in either
LOCAL or REMOTE positions. The ESD control overrides the interlock controls. The “VIEW
and SET-UP” features can configure the polarity of INTERLOCK signal as described in
Section 9.1.10, Interlock Controls.
The interlock inputs are optically-isolated (opto-coupled) and can be supplied by the
internally generated 24 V DC or by an external 20-125 V DC or 20-120 V AC (50/60 Hz).
The signal levels are the following:
• Minimum ON signal > 20 V DC or 20 V AC (50/60 Hz).
• Maximum ON signal < 125 V DC or 120 V AC (50/60 Hz).
• Maximum OFF signal < 3 V.
• Total current drawn from remote controls < 20 mA.

5.7 Operating the ICON3000 for the First Time


Before attempting to operate the ICON3000 for the first time, check that the actuator is
correctly mounted on to the valve. Place the 3-position selector to OFF and switch the
power on. The alphanumeric display will show "ICON3000" for a few seconds.
If an alarm is active (i.e. the Alarm icon is shown on the display), take the necessary action
to resolve the alarm before proceeding (see Section 12.11).
If a warning is active (i.e. the Warning icon is shown on the display) a warning condition is
present. One can proceed since the ICON3000 will continue to function, but some data are
not according to the configured parameters (see Section 12.11).
If the lower lines of the display show “INT OFF”, then an interlock input is active. If the lower
lines of the display show “ESD ON OFF”, the ESD input is active.
Do not operate the actuator without first checking that the configuration is according to
the required application by using the “VIEW and SET-UP” features (see Section 6/10).
Set torque limits, position limits and closing direction by means of the “stroke limits
routine” of the “actuator set-up” menu (see Section 9).
When the stroke limits and the configurations are correct, bring the 3-position selector to
LOCAL and drive the actuator to the open or closed position (see Section 5.3).

5.8 Optional Modules


! CAUTION
The actuator contains parts and assemblies susceptible to damage via Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Prior to performing work, use ESD protection or discharge static
electricity by touching grounded metal.

Additional modules can be plugged in the base card of the ICON3000 to provide the
following functions:

5.8.1 Fieldbus Interface for Remote Control via FIELDBUS


This card allows the ICON3000 to connect to a FIELDBUS. The following bus interface cards
are available:
• Profibus DPV0
• Profibus DPV1 with or without redundancy
• Profibus DPV2 with or without redundancy
• Foundation Fieldbus
• LonWorks
• Modbus RTU

A hardware alarm is generated if the ICON3000 is set to be equipped with a bus card but
the card is damaged or missing. A BUS REPORT is also present in the list of reports if the
card is present (Refer to Section 6). Refer to the specific manuals for instructions and
setting of the above modules.

VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2 May 2022

5.8.2 Ain/Aout Card


With the above card, the ICON3000 is provided with a 4-20 analog input and a
4 - 20 mA analog output. This card should be plugged on the base card, replacing
the “TERMINAL BOARD ADAPTOR” card supplied as standard. A hardware alarm is
generated if the ICON3000 was set to be equipped with an Ain/Aout card and the card
is damaged or missing.
An Ain/Aout REPORT is also present in the list of reports if the card is present (see Section 6).

Figure 41

Status OK Warning Alarm

• 4 - 20 mA analog output
The 4 - 20 mA output can be configured to provide a signal proportional to either
“position” or “torque”. The polarity option allows the relationship between position
(or torque) and the 4-20mA output signal to be reversed and the 4 - 20 mA output
signal. See “VIEW and SET-UP” features (Section 9.1.9, OUT 4 - 20 mA).
The 4 - 20 mA output is optically-isolated (opto-coupled). It should be powered by
a 20-30 V DC voltage (externally or internally generated) and the maximum load
(including cable resistance) should be less than 300 ohm.
Figure 42 shows the wiring diagram.

If mains voltage is lost, behavior will be different if the power supply of the 4 - 20
mA output stage is internally- or externally-generated:
- Internal power supply (or passive loop):
If mains voltage is lost the output 4 - 20 mA drops to 0. The correct output
will be restored when mains voltage returns.
- External power supply (or active loop):
If the actuator is provided with a lithium battery (or supplied by the
auxiliary 24 V DC) and if mains voltage fails, the output 4 - 20 mA
maintains the last value. If the actuator is moved via the handwheel, the
output 4 - 20 mA will be updated. If the actuator is not provided with a
lithium battery (or not supplied by the auxiliary 24 V DC)
and mains voltage fails, the output 4 - 20 mA maintains the last
value. If the actuator is moved by handwheel, the output 4 - 20 mA will not
be updated.
• 4 - 20 mA analog input
The 4 - 20 mA analog input is the position request R% signal and is used by the
ICON3000 to position the valve in positioning (inching) and modulating actuators.
The “POSITIONER” routine processes the input signal, compares the present
actuator position % with the position request R%, and if the difference is greater
than the dead band - the actuator is driven to reach the requested position. 4 mA
corresponds to request R% = 0% = valve closed and 20 mA corresponds to request
R% = 100% = valve open. The relationship between position and request signals
can be reversed by the “Polarity” function. The 4 - 20 mA input is optically-isolated
(opto-coupled). The input impedance is less than 500 ohm. The loss of the
4 - 20 mA input signal is indicated as follows:
- Change-over of the monitor relay
- Alarm LED on
- List of ALARMS (see Section 12.11, Diagnostic messages)
- Alarm log
Figure 43 shows the wiring diagram.

The “VIEW and SET-UP” features can configure different options, which are described in
Section 9.1.7, Positioner.
If the POSITIONER function is active, the alpha-numeric display indicates the value of the
position request in % (R%: xxx.x).

• OFF: no control is active but the actuator is still connected to the mains
• REMOTE: for remote control only

3. The ICON3000 can be provided with a radio-frequency wireless connection


based on a qualified Bluetooth class 1 module. This allows exchange of data with
a PDA or PC with built-in Bluetooth™ technology. The following tasks can be
wirelessly performed:
• View and change configuration
• Set maintenance function
• Read maintenance data
• Download new firmware to the ICON3000
• The blue LED indicates that communication with a host device is established

4. Numeric display to indicate the present valve position as a % of open position.


Display resolution is a function of the number of complete turns of the actuator
output shaft:
• From 2 to 4 turns = 0.2%
• From 4 to 8,000 turns = 0.1%

5. Three LEDs to indicate the actuator status according to the following logic:
• green ON/ red OFF: the actuator is stopped in the open position
• green OFF/ red ON: the actuator is stopped in the closed position
• green OFF/ red flashing: the actuator is running in the closing direction
• green flashing/ red OFF: the actuator is running in the opening direction
• green ON/ red ON: the actuator is stopped in an intermediate position
• yellow ON: alarm
• yellow flashing: warning
The above color combination is supplied as standard, but it may be changed
(red to green, green to red, and yellow to red), during actuator setup operations.

6. Local Controls: OPEN/YES, CLOSE/NO, and STOP push-buttons.


The STOP push-button resets any existing command and is active both in local and remote.
If the 3-position selector is in LOCAL, the OPEN/YES, and CLOSE/NO push-buttons work as
OPEN and CLOSE commands.
If the 3-position selector is in REMOTE or in OFF, the OPEN/YES and CLOSE/NO
pushbuttons work as YES and NO to answer prompts (next? OK? view?, change? exit?)
shown on the alphanumeric display.
In OFF, the OPEN/YES and CLOSE/NO push-buttons allow the user to scroll through the
menu, to view and change the actuator configuration, or to scroll through the list of
variables, status, and alarms.
In REMOTE, the OPEN/YES and CLOSE/NO push-buttons allow the list of variables, status,
alarms and reports to be scrolled through but the actuator configuration cannot be viewed
or changed.

6.2 Configuration Options


The ICON3000 actuator can be completely configured via the local interface by means
of a series of menus that can be selected from the alphanumeric display. The operator
can navigate 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; if not, press NO to scroll through the list of available languages and
then press YES to when the menu reaches the desired language.
After choosing the language, the next step is the selection between 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 Emerson with the default
password “0 0 0 0”.
Once the correct password has been entered, the actuator parameters can be configured.
The current password can also be modified by the “set password” routine in the
Maintenance menu. After entering the new password the old one becomes invalid, so it is
important to record the new 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, and 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.
• Stroke limits
• Torque set-up
• ESD set-up
• PST set-up
• Remote controls
• Local controls
• Output relays
• Positioner *
• Fail-safe *
• Out 4 - 20 mA *
• Interlock
• 2-speed timer
• Bus *
• Miscellaneous

The routines with * are only available if the relevant modules are present. If the bus
interface is LonWorks, the “BUS” routine changes to “FDI control”.

Section 9: Set-Up Routines


9.1 Actuator Set-Up

9.1.1 Set Stroke Limits


This routine allows the actuator to be configured according to the type of valve it is
mounted on.
The following parameters will be set:
• Opening and closing torque limits: from 40% to 100% of the nominal torque.
The nominal torque corresponding to 100% is set in-house and is stated in the
nameplate menu for reference.
• Close direction: clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW). Most valves require
clockwise rotation of the stem when viewed from the handwheel. Engage the
manual override and check if the valve closes with clockwise or counter-clockwise
rotation of the handwheel.
• Close and open limits type: by position or by torque. Use Table 11 to choose.

Set-up Procedure
• Engage the manual override and move the valve to the mid-travel position.
• Move the local selector to OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN and STOP.
Select the language and then enter the password according to the instructions
(refer to “Entering the set-up mode”). When the message displayed is “SET-UP
MODE OK?” press YES. Press YES to select the "Actuator Setup" menu, and then
press YES again to start with the stroke limits routine.
• Press YES if the closing torque limit is correct or press NO to scroll through the list
of available values. When the value is correct, press YES.
• Press YES if the opening torque limit is correct or press NO to scroll through the list
of available values. When the value is correct press YES.
• Press YES if the rotation to close is correct (CW or CCW), or press NO to change.
When the value is correct press YES.
• Press YES to set the close limit, or press NO and then YES to set the open limit.

Close limit type


Press YES if the close limit type is correct (torque or position); otherwise, press NO to
change it. Press YES when the limit type is correct.

9.1.2 Torque Set-up


The output torque limits to close or to open may be configured between 40% and 100% of
the nominal torque stated on the actuator nameplate.

Set-up Procedure
• Move the local selector to OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN and STOP.
Select the language and then enter the password according to the instructions
(refer to “Entering the set-up mode”). When the message displayed is “SET-UP
MODE OK?” press YES. Press YES to select the "Actuator Setup" menu, press NO,
and then press YES to select the "Torque Setup" routine.
• Press YES if the opening torque limit is correct; otherwise, press NO to scroll
through the list of available values. Press YES when the value is correct.
• Press YES if the closing torque limit is correct; otherwise, press NO to scroll
through the list of available values. Press YES when the value is correct.

9.1.3 ESD (Emergency Shut Down) Control


An ESD signal can be connected to the actuator to override any existing command and
drive the valve to a predetermined position. The ESD control is not self-maintained: the
ESD action is only performed if the relevant input is active. The ESD control is active when
the 3-position selector is in REMOTE and no alarm is present.

Function “ESD priority” allows the ESD command to override the following additional
situations: (*) motor thermostat alarm, (*) torque limit tripped, (*) local stop pressed,
3-position selector in LOCAL, 2-speed timer, (*) 3-position selector in OFF.

! WARNING
The user may select ESD to override the situations indicated by (*). If these situations
occur and if “ESD > ...” is configured, the actuator may be damaged. Therefore, selecting
“ESD > ...” will invalidate the warranty.

Configuration procedure
• Move the local selector to OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN and STOP. Select
the language and then enter the password according to the instructions (refer to
“Entering the set-up mode”). When the message displayed is “SET-UP MODE OK?”
press YES. Press YES to select the "Actuator Setup" menu, press NO to scroll through
the list of available routines, and then press YES to select "ESD Setup".
• Press YES if the ESD action is correct, or press NO to scroll through the list of
available options (off, open, close, stay-put, go to position xx %). Press YES to
select the desired option.
• Press either YES or NO to select the signal type (present, absent).

Set-Up Routines 57
Section 9: Set-Up Routines Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
May 2022 VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2

• Press YES to change ESD priority with reference to the following signals or status:
- (*) Motor thermostat alarm. By choosing ESD > THERMOSTAT, the
ESD action will be carried out even in the event of motor over-heating.
Conversely, if ESD < THERMOSTAT was chosen, the ESD action will not be
performed in the event of motor over-heating.
- (*) Torque limit tripped. By choosing ESD > TORQUE LIMIT, the ESD
action will be carried out even if a torque alarm is present. Conversely,
if ESD < TORQUE LIMIT was chosen, the ESD action will not be performed
while a torque alarm is present.
- (*) Local stop pressed. By choosing ESD > LOCAL STOP, the ESD action
will override the local STOP signal. Conversely, if ESD < LOCAL STOP
was chosen, the ESD action will not be performed if the local STOP
push-button is pressed.
- Local selector in LOCAL. By choosing ESD > LOCAL CONTROLS, the
ESD action will be carried out also when the local selector is in LOCAL.
Conversely, if ESD < LOCAL CONTROLS was chosen, the ESD action will not
be performed if the 3-position selector is in LOCAL.
- 2-speed timer. By choosing ESD > 2-speed timer, the 2-speed timer function
will be inhibited during the ESD action. Conversely, if ESD < 2-speed timer was
chosen, the 2-speed timer function will remain enabled during ESD action.
- (*) Local selector in OFF. By choosing ESD > OFF, the ESD action will be
carried out also when the local selector is in OFF. Conversely, if ESD < OFF
was chosen, the ESD action will not be performed if the 3-position selector
is in OFF.

The factory configuration is the following:


action: CLOSE, signal type: PRESENT, priorities: ESD > LOCAL CONTROLS, ESD > 2-SPEED
TIMER, ESD < all other cases.

9.1.4 Remote Controls


The actuator may be remotely controlled by 4, or 3, or 2 wires depending on the
connection made on the terminal board of the actuator.
The following options are available:
• 4 wires latched: requires 2 momentary signals (since the control is self-maintained)
to open or close and one signal to stop in mid-travel. The action of the stop signal
can be reversed (stop when signal is On [MAKE] or stop when signal is Off [BREAK]).
• 3 wires latched instant reverse: requires 2 momentary signals
(since the control is self-maintained) to open or close. A reverse momentary
signal reverses the direction.
• 3 wires momentary: requires 2 push-to-run type signals
(since the control is not self-maintained) to open or close.
• 2 wires open if signal On: requires signal On to open and no signal to close.
• 2 wires open if signal Off: requires signal Off to open and signal On to close
By selecting the option "Off", the remote controls are disabled.
Configuration should be performed during actuator set-up.

58 Set-Up Routines

9.1.6 Output Relays


Monitor relay
The voltage-free, change-over contacts of the monitor relay indicate that the actuator
is either available for remote control or that a problem or a condition preventing remote
control of the valve exists.
The monitor relay is normally energized and will be de-energized on:
• mains voltage failure
• lost phase
• internal temperature alarm
• K1 contactor failure
• K2 contactor failure
• position sensor failure
• speed sensor failure
• configuration error
• hardware error
• mid-travel alarm
• request signal (available if positioner enabled and request from 4 - 20 mA)

The following situations can be configured individually to not de-energize the monitor relay
when they occur:
• motor over-temperature
• over-torque
• jammed valve
• LOCAL/OFF selected
• manual operation
• ESD signal on (ESD-EFS)
• low lithium battery (if present)
• LOCAL/STOP pressed

• Press NO to answer prompt “MONITOR RELAY change?”.
• Press YES to change AS1; otherwise, press NO to select the other relays.
• Press YES if the condition associated to AS1 relay is correct; otherwise,
press NO to scrolls through the list of conditions and press YES to set.
• Press YES or NO to either confirm or change the type of contact when
the condition occurs (break, make). Since relay AS8 is a change-over relay
(i.e. not a latching relay like AS1-AS7), this option is not available.
• Press NO to proceed to AS2 and then repeat the procedure for the other relays.
• Press NO to exit.

9.1.7 Positioner
The positioning function is only available in positioning (inching) or modulating ICON3000
actuators and allows for positioning of the valve according to a “position request R%”
command signal.
The positioning function compares the present actuator position % with the position
request R%, and if the difference is greater than the dead band the actuator is driven to
reach the new requested position.
The “position request R%” signal may either be received from the bus or the 4 - 20 mA analog
input. If the ICON3000 is set to receive the position request R% from the bus, the relevant
fieldbus interface card must be present; otherwise, a hardware alarm will be generated.
If the ICON3000 is set to receive the position request R% from the 4 - 20 mA generator,
the Ain/Aout card must be present; otherwise, a hardware alarm will be generated.

62 Set-Up Routines
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Section 9: Set-Up Routines
VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2 May 2022

The following options can be configured via the local operator interface:
• Dead band: configurable from “position resolution%” to 25.5% of the
maximum position error. The configured value should be great enough to avoid
a "hunting" effect.
• Polarity of the 4-20 mA position request signal (see Figure 59): this allows reversal
of the relationship between the 4-20 mA input signal and the “position request
R%”, according to the following diagrams. This option is not available when the
ICON3000 is set to receive the “position request R%” from the bus.
• Motion inhibit time: this allows adjustment of the length of the delay time
between two cycles of the motor. It can be configured from 1 to 255 seconds and
allows the user to set the maximum number of starts/hour of the motor.
• % MIN and % MAX, 4 - 20 mA input signal range: this allows a change in the
relationship between the input signal and the position request R%. This function
is useful when a single 4 - 20 mA signal is used to control the position of 2 valves
(e.g. split range applications). This option is not available when the ICON3000 is
set to receive the “position request R%” from the bus.

With input signal = 20 mA, the position request is 100% and the actuator is driven to open.
With input signal = 12 mA, the position request is 50% and the actuator is driven to reach
position 50%.

Example B
With input signal < 8 mA, the position request is 0% and the actuator is driven to close.
With input signal = 16 mA, the position request is 100% and the actuator is driven to open.
With input signal = 12 mA, the position request is 50% and the actuator is driven to reach
position 50%.

Example C
With input signal = 4 mA , the position request is 100% and the actuator is driven to open.
With input signal = 20 mA, the position request is 0% and the actuator is driven to close.
With input signal = 12 mA, the position request is 50% and the actuator is driven to reach
position 50%.

If not, press NO to change it and then press YES.
• Press YES if the configured value of the Motion Inhibit Time is correct
(from 1 to 255 seconds). If not, press NO to change it and then press YES.
• Press YES if the configured value of the % MIN is correct (from 0 to 75%).
If not, press NO to change it and then press YES. The standard value is 0.
• Press YES if the configured value of the % MAX is correct (from 25 to 100%). If not,
press NO to change it and then press YES. The difference between % MAX and %
MIN should be greater than 25%. The standard value is 100.

9.1.8 Fail-Safe
This function configures the actuator action if loss of the 4 - 20 mA input or bus signals
occurs. This action only takes place if the local selector is in REMOTE and if the positioning
function or the bus interface are active. When the 4 - 20 mA or bus signal is restored,
the ICON3000 resumes normal functionality. The Interlock and ESD controls override the
Fail-Safe action according to Figure 60:

9.1.13.3 Lithium Battery


In the standard version, the actuator is provided with a lithium battery to keep visible the
local position display, to back-up the RTC (real-time-clock) for diagnostic functions, to
test the battery charge, and to update the remote outputs (output relays status when set
as "open limit" or "close limit" and 4 - 20 mA when externally supplied) in case of electrical
power failure and manual override operations.
The program runs the functions relevant to the battery only if the appropriate flag “lithium

9.1.13.4 Torque Bypass (%)


Since a momentary high torque may be required to unseat certain valves, the torque
bypass routine disables the torque alarm when an open or close command is received and
the actuator is fully open or closed. The torque bypass is expressed as a % of position and is
configurable from 0% to 20%. For example: if a 10% bypass value is set, we may have:
• bypass active in Opening: from 0% to 10%
• bypass active in Closing: from 100% to 90%
To disable torque bypass, configure 0%.

9.1.13.5 Valve Jammed (Time)


The valve jammed time is used to monitor the following situations:
1. The time passed after receiving an open or close control is greater than the “valve
jammed time,” but the variation in valve position is smaller than 0.5%. The motor is
stopped, the command is cleared and a “valve jammed” alarm indication is generated.
2. The valve is moving, but during valve travel the variation in valve position is smaller
than 0.5% of the time equal to “valve jammed time”. The motor is stopped, the
command is cleared and a “mid-travel alarm” indication is generated.
The valve jammed time is expressed in seconds and can be configured from
0 to 100 seconds. Configure “0” to disable the routine.

10.4.2 Torque Profile


The torque profile routine gives important information on the actuator working conditions
in comparison with a previously memorized reference profile. The torque profile can
indicate a change in process conditions.

Reference details are retained and the latest torque is expressed as a % of the nominal torque.
At the end of a full stroke in opening or closing, the ICON3000 stores the 3 maximum
torque values in position intervals 0%-10%, 10%-90%, 90%-100% in opening, and the 3
maximum torque values in position intervals 100%-90%, 90%-10%, 10%-0% in closing.
Time and date of valve strokes are also saved. The above data are updated at the end of
every full valve stroke and the previous data are overwritten. The “set torque reference"
function in the SET-UP MENU, Maintenance, (Section 7), allows saving of the “torque
profile” data in the “torque profile reference” with a date and time. The “torque profile
reference” will not be updated until a new “set torque reference” command is entered. The
user can compare the last torque profile relevant to the last valve stroke with the torque
profile reference saved before.
The following definitions will be used:
• Breakout: maximum torque % in position interval 0-10% in opening or
100%-90% in closing = max. % of torque to unseat the valve.
• Peak running: maximum torque % in position interval 10-90% in opening or
90% - 10% in closing = max. % of torque when the valve runs from Breakout to
Ending (maximum mid-travel).
• Ending: maximum torque % in position interval 90-100% in opening or
10%-0% in closing = max. % of torque to seat the valve.
The following data may be viewed:

10.4.3 Torque Curve


The torque curve routine gives important information on the actuator working conditions
in comparison with a previously memorized reference torque curve. It can be used to
perform a detailed analysis of a change in the process conditions.
During a full valve stroke in opening or closing, the ICON3000 measures the torque values
relevant to every 1% of position variation. At the end of the stroke the collected 101 values
(one torque value every 1% of position change) are saved in the ICON3000 memory together
with the time and date of strokes, main voltage, motor temperature, temperature inside the
electronics compartment, and temperature inside the terminal board compartment. Up to
100 curves in opening and 100 curves in closing can be saved. When a new curve becomes
available, the oldest one is canceled and the new one is memorized. The above data are
updated at the end of every full valve stroke. Data relevant to a partial stroke are disregarded.
The function “set curve reference”, in the SET-UP MENU, Maintenance, Section 7, allows
the user to save the full set of data relevant to 1 of 100 “torque curves” in the “torque
curve reference”. The “torque curve reference” will not be updated until a new “set curve
reference” command is entered.
The user can compare the last 100 torque curves in opening and closing in relation to the
last 200 valve strokes with the torque curve reference saved before.

Table 15 shows the list of saved data for each opening or closing curve:

10.4.4 Operation Log


The operation log consists of different counters and routines that provide information
to assist in the maintenance program. The data are grouped into 2 families: general
and recent data. The general data log collects data from “test date” to “present date”.
The test date is set in-house and can be viewed in the "Nameplate" menu, but cannot be
changed. The recent data log collects data from the last “clear recent data log” date to
“present date”.

Command “clear recent data log” is available in the SET-UP MENU, maintenance, Section 7.
This command clears the content of the recent data log and resets the counters to 0.
The old data are lost.
The main differences between “general” and “recent” data log are the following:
• The general data log gives information relevant to the full life of the actuator,
starting from the manufacturing date.
• In the recent data log the same data are collected starting from a date set by the
user. The date may be viewed in the MAINTENANCE DATE Section.

10.4.6 Data Logger


The “data logger” routine allows collection of different types of data useful for
maintenance or for diagnostic programs. Since the amount of collected data is very large,
the data logger can only be viewed via a PDA or PC. The data can be uploaded from the
ICON3000 to a PDA or PC via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The local display only allows viewing of configured parameter values (see also SET-UP
menu, Maintenance, Set data logger, Section 9.3.7).
The following data can be viewed on the local display:
• Logger mode
• Sampling time
• Memory mode
• Date
• Time

88 View Routines
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Section 10: View Routines
VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2 May 2022

Data logger modes:


• OFF: the data logger is not active.
• RECORDER mode: the ICON3000 measures and memorizes the following 3 data:
- Main voltage supply (V)
- Motor temperature (°C)
- Temperature inside the electronics compartment (°C)
• T-RECORDER mode: the ICON3000 measures and memorizes the following 3 data:
- Torque in OP/CL
- Motor temperature (°C)
- Voltage

In RECORDER and T-RECORDER mode, the SAMPLING TIME fixes the time interval among
two sets of measures. Up to 256 sets of measures (equivalent to 256x4 samples) can be
memorized. The sampling time can be configured from 1 to 3600 seconds. As the memory
becomes full, the recorder stops recording or overwrites the previous data according to the
selected MEMORY MODE (“stop when full” or “continuous”). If “continuous” was selected,
as a new set of measures is achieved the oldest one is canceled and the new one becomes
the latest. Up to 10,000 cycles of full memory overwriting are performed, and then the
recorder stops. In T-RECORDER mode, the recording operation is also stopped if a torque
alarm is raised in opening or in closing. This additional feature allows the user to maintain
memory of the last 256 samples and see the trend of torque, motor temperature, and
main voltage prior to the alarm. A new start of T-RECORDER clears the data stored in the
memory. By using a PDA or PC, the recorded data can be viewed by a graph where time is
on the X axis and the measured data on the Y axis.

Figure 68 below shows a graph with a sampling time of 2 seconds in RECORDER mode
(electronics temperature and motor temperature).

Figure 69 shows the data logger in "T-Recorder" mode.

Figure 69 T-Recorder Mode

T-logger stops recording if a torque alarm is triggered. The last 256 samples remain in the
actuator memory until a new start of the logger is initiated.

• EVENT mode: the ICON3000 detects the type of received command (OPEN or CLOSE),
the source of the command (local controls, remote controls, bus, etc.), and the date
and time of the command. Up to 128 EVENTS can be memorized. As the memory
becomes full, the logger stops memorizing events or overwrites the previous data
according to the selected MEMORY MODE (“stop when full” or “continuous”). If
“continuous” was selected, old events are canceled in place of new events and the
newest event becomes the latest. Up to 50 cycles of full memory overwriting are
possible before the logger stops. The START DATE and START TIME fix date and time to
start a recording operation. By using a PDA or PC, the collected data can be viewed via
a graph or event table. The parameter “sampling time” is not used. Figure 70 shows an
example of a report in EVENT mode.

Section 11: Maintenance


11.1 Standard Maintenance
Approx. every 2 years:
Under normal operating conditions, the ICON3000 requires no formal maintenance;
however, visual inspection for oil leakage or external visible damage is recommended every
two years. When conditions are severe (frequent operation or high temperatures), inspect
the oil level and oil quality more frequently. Replace all seals that permit oil leakage or
water ingress.

! WARNING
Installation, configuration, commissioning, maintenance, and repairs must be performed
by approved and qualified personnel only.

! WARNING
Before performing service or maintenance operations (unless otherwise indicated),
ensure that power is turned off to the unit to avoid injury and/or damage to equipment.

! WARNING
The actuator is non-intrusive. The control compartment is sealed in dry and clean conditions
and contains no site serviceable components. Do not open it unless absolutely necessary.
Unauthorized access will invalidate the warranty.

! CAUTION
Using a fastener other than the approved type may result in damage to the actuator or valve.

The following checks will assure optimum performance and can be considered as good
practice in preventive and/or predictive maintenance:
• External visual inspection and general health check
• Electrical enclosures: Check the external parts for possible damage and replace them
immediately if necessary. If the window glass is broken, the complete cover must be
replaced (see Section 13, Parts list and drawings for individual item numbers).
• Electrical enclosures: perform an internal check of the cable glands and tightness
of cable terminals, and replace the cover O-ring.
• Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the actuator housing. Check the oil
level; it should be approximately 20 mm from the fill plug. Top-up the oil volume if
needed (see Section 4, Lubrication).
• Lubricate the internal components of the coupling block (if present) via the
spherical head lubricator using suggested greases (see Section 4, Lubrication).

92 Maintenance
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Section 11: Maintenance
VCIOM-08500-EN Rev. 2 May 2022

• If the stem is external, check that the valve stem is clean and lubricated.
If not, clean and lubricate it in order to prevent damage to the threaded bush.
• Check that all nuts and bolts securing the actuator to the valve are tight.
If necessary, retighten them with a torque wrench (for tightening torque
values see Section 3.4.3, Actuator Mounting).
• For actuators provided with lithium batteries, make sure that the
display is still visible when the power is off and that there is no “Battery
low” warning message. If the "Battery low” warning appears, replace
the battery (see Section 11.3 Maintenance - Lithium battery change).
Always replace batteries if the actuator has been subjected to long periods without
power (see Section 12, Troubleshooting).
• Manual override operation check (if valve operation allows)
• Check local and remote electrical commands (if valve operation allows)
• Full Stroke test (FST) or Partial Stroke Test (PST) (if valve operation allows),
torque vs. position diagram report (via AManager, if Bluetooth or a serial cable
connection is available)
• Download .icon file (via AManager, if Bluetooth or a serial cable connection is
available)
• Identification of recommended spare parts based on inspection results
• Identification of next routine inspection date
• Identification of maintenance needs during next planned plant outage/shut down
• Final report, including .icon file
• Repaint all areas where paint is missing. In chemically aggressive or
saline environments, remove rust from surfaces and protect the unit with a
rust preventative.
• For severe applications or if actuator operation is infrequent, more frequent
maintenance checks are recommended.

12.7 The Valve does not Seat Correctly


• If the valve is stopped by the torque limit in closing, increase the actuator output
torque limit.
• If the valve is stopped by the position limit in closing, check that the valve reaches
its seat position, and then readjust the setting of the position limit.
• The internal trim of the valve may be damaged.

12.8 Valve Operation Requires Excessive Torque


• Clean, lubricate and check the valve stem.
• If the valve packing is too tight, loosen the gland bolt nuts.
• Coupling type “A”: if a tight fit between bush and stem is evident,
increase the thread clearance on the drive coupling.
• Coupling types “B1”, “B2”, “B3” and “B4”: ensure that there are no axial forces on
the valve stem by leaving adequate axial clearance between the stem and the drive
bush. Also check that all transmission shafts, universal joints, or bulkhead passages
are sufficiently lubricated and check that the transmission shafts are not bent.
• Check that the internal valve trim or the reducer gears are well lubricated and
not damaged.
• Check the alphanumeric display for diagnostic messages, and proceed with
the suitable corrective actions as described in this section, Section 12.11,
Diagnostic Messages.

12.9 The Actuator does not Stop in the Fully Open


or Fully Closed Position
• Check that the actual open and close positions of the valve respectively
correspond to 100% and 0% on the actuator display.
• Ensure that the torque and travel limits are correctly set (see Section 9.1,
Actuator Set-up).

12.10 The Numeric Position Display Indicates "---"


• Stroke limits must be recalibrated (see Section 9.1, Actuator Set-up).

12.11 Diagnostic Messages


The alarm and warning lists contain the alarms and warnings momentarily present.
A Warning is a condition that occurs when a variable reaches a critical value and/or when a
maintenance action is required but all actuator functions remain available. The Warning icon
on the lower display and the flashing of the alarm/warning LED indicate a warning condition.
An Alarm is a condition that occurs when a variable is outside its acceptable range and/or
some actuator functionality is not available. The Alarm icon on the lower display and the
alarm/warning LED ON indicate an alarm condition. When the fault condition disappears,
the corresponding alarm or warning also disappears from the list.
A reset routine is available to clear certain types of alarms that are memorized by the
actuator (over-torque, jammed valve, etc.).

N° indicates the number of the parameter to be configured. To clear the alarm, a table of
all ICON3000 parameters is necessary. Call Emerson After-Sales service to solve the problem.
If the alarm message is “CONFIGURATION OBJ 9999”, only one of the ICON3000 parameters
needs to be changed. For example: enter the SET-UP menu, go to “Actuator Setup”, then
“Torque Setup”, and then either increase or decrease the closing torque by 1%. As the alarm
message disappears reenter the SET-UP menu, go to “Actuator Setup”, then “Torque Setup”,
and then set the previous value (see Section 9.1, Actuator Set-up).

Hardware n°
N° indicates the module that is not working. The problem may be due to a malfunction
of the module, to an incorrect wiring between modules, or to an incorrect setting of the
ICON3000. Call Emerson After-Sales service to solve the problem. The following hardware
alarms can be detected:
• Hardware 1 = incorrect coding of local push-buttons and selector
• Hardware 2 = incorrect configuration of Ain/Aout optional module
• Hardware 3 = no communication between Ain/Aout optional module and base card
• Hardware 4 = incorrect configuration of type of terminal board
• Hardware 5 = no communication between terminal board and base card
• Hardware 6 = incorrect configuration ICON3000/F01
• Hardware 7 = incorrect configuration of type of bus card
• Hardware 8 = no communication between bus card and base card
• Hardware 9 = Logic Card cannot update the settings of the Power Card (for ICON LP only)
• Hardware 10 = Logic Card cannot communicate with the Power Card (for ICON LP only)

recommended frequency of inspection is once every two years but this frequency
could change depending on the installation and working conditions. Any crack on
the surface, broken windows, or loose bolts must be reported for repair.
• Keep the external surfaces of the unit clean: if the unit is installed in a dusty
environment, the specification stated in IEC/EN 60079-14 is to be followed
(ensuring in particular that the dust layer does not exceed 5 mm.)
• If the actuator is covered by an intumescent coating (“Kmass”), an electrostatic
charge risk is present; only anti-static cloth may be used when cleaning is required.
When performing maintenance, avoid rubbing actions against the actuator (or any
other friction-inducing action) that could electrostatically charge the unit.
• Check the condition of cable connections and mounting bolts; any loose
connection must be tightened.

A.8.2 Disassembly and Reassembly

! CAUTION
Using a fastener other than the approved type may result in damage to the actuator or
valve. Refer to Table 8.

! CAUTION
Failure to use proper torque values can result in damage to the actuator and/or valve.

If disassembly and subsequent reassembly of the explosion-proof enclosure is required,


take the necessary care to maintain all parts in their original condition.
To achieve this, the following steps must be taken:
• Do not damage the explosion-proof mating surfaces on the housing or on the
electrical enclosure cover.
• Reinstall all the screws that came with the dismantled parts and coat them with a
film of molybdenum-based grease. This will prevent the screws from sticking and
make future maintenance operations easier.
• If the screws need to be changed, the new screws must be of equal dimensions
and at least equal material quality to the screws originally supplied with the unit.
• Replace the weather-proof seals that may have been removed, i.e. O-Rings
for the cover.
• In particular, be sure to spread a film of Aeroshell grease over the joint surfaces of
all enclosures.

B.6 Storage and Pre-Installation


B.6.1 Storage Procedure

NOTICE
Not following the procedures according to this document will invalidate the product warranty.

Normally the optional extension for additional entry or additional electronic card
is directly mounted on the base model of ICON3000 and leaves the factory in perfect
condition. In this case, the general storage procedure as stated in Section 2 must be followed.
When the above extension is shipped separately for a field upgrade on an existing ICON3000
unit, this extension must be stored in a protected area while ensuring that the explosion-proof
joints are well-protected and kept free of damage. The standard plastic plugs used to protect
the cable entries during transport are not explosion-proof nor water-proof; these plugs are
only intended to prevent entry of foreign objects. The extension for additional entry/entries
or additional electronic cards maintains the same weather-proof degree of protection as the
base ICON3000 model. Good operating condition can only be maintained if the extension is
correctly installed/connected on-site and if it has been correctly stored.

E.4 Terms and Conditions


Emerson guarantees every product to be free from defects and to conform to industry
standards. Unless otherwise specified, the warranty period is one year from the date of
installation by the first user or eighteen months from the date of shipment to the first user,
whichever occurs first.
No warranty is given for products that are subject to improper storage, improper
installation, misuse, or are modified or repaired by unauthorized personnel.
Repair work resulting from improper use will be charged at standard rates.

E.5 Manufacturer’s Liability


Emerson will not accept any liability in the event of:
• Use of product in a fashion that contravenes local safety at work legislation.
• Incorrect installation relating to, disregard for, or incorrect application of the
instructions as provided on the product nameplate and in the Installation,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual MAN-02-04-97-0713 and Appendix E within.
• Modification of the product without Emerson authorization.
• Work done on the product by unqualified or unsuitable personnel.

E.6 Storage and Pre-Installation

E.6.1 Storage Procedure

NOTICE
Not following the procedures according to this document will invalidate the product warranty.

Normally the optional extension for additional entry or additional electronic card is directly
mounted on the base model of ICON3000 and leaves the factory in perfect condition. In
this case the general storage procedure as stated in section 2 must be followed. When the
above extension is shipped separately for a field upgrade on an existing ICON3000 unit, this
extension must be stored in a protected area while ensuring that the explosion-proof joints
are well-protected and kept free of damage. The standard plastic plugs used to protect the
conduit entries during transport are not explosion-proof nor waterproof; these plugs are
only intended to prevent entry of foreign objects. The extension for additional entry/entries
or additional electronic cards maintains the same weather-proof degree of protection as the
base ICON3000 model. Good operating condition can only be maintained if the extension is
correctly installed/connected on site and if it has been correctly stored.

E.7.3 Electrical Connections


External wires or connections of external ATEX-certified apparatus via the conduit entry of
an additional extension must be wired to the internal cards of the ICON3000, in accordance
with the wiring diagram and general instructions on the actuator label.

E.7.3.1 Connection for Ex-e Terminals Enclosure


The wires must be terminated in accordance with the following method:
Type of terminal: Insulated ring tongue
Eye dimensions: 5.5 mm (0.22 in) for power cable
3.2 mm (0.13 in) for control cables
Recommended tightening torques: 2.0 - 2.8 Nm (17.7 - 24.8 lb.in) for power cables
1.0 - 1.5 Nm (8.9 - 13.3 lb.in) for control cables
Wires section: 4 mm² (0.006 in²) for power cables
2.5 mm² (0.004 in²) for control cables

E.7.4 Cable Connection


When optional extensions for additional entries or additional electronic cards are
connected to external cables or conduits, the sealing of these entries must be carried
out in accordance with the national standards or regulatory authorities that certified
the extension(s). The method of sealing and cable glands used must be approved and
separately certified for use in hazardous areas.
Two earth connection points - one internal and one external - are located on the ICON3000
base model (see Figure E-7) for connection to ground cables.

NOTICE
To prevent water infiltration through the line cable conduits, ensure that the cable glands used
possess the minimum degree of protection required by the plant and are specified on the
actuator label. If a rigid conduit makes a connection to the plant, it is recommended to place a
flexible pipe connection between the conduit and the conduit entry of the additional extension.

To guarantee that the weather-proof and explosion-proof characteristics are maintained,


screw the cable gland or the external ATEX-certified apparatus tightly (at least 5 turns of
engagement) and coat them with a thread sealant.

NOTICE
All accessories (including cable glands) must comply with approved specifications for the
site requirements and be certified according to the standard directive.

E.7.5 Installation in Environments with Explosive Dusts


Special attention must be paid to the following points:
• Before assembly, joint surfaces must be greased with Aeroshell grease.
• The cable glands must at a minimum possess a protection degree of IP66 or IP68
(15 m depth / 90 hours) according to IEC/EN 60529 standard.
• Periodically measure the quantity of dust deposited on the surface of the actuator
body. Clean the dust if it accumulates to more than 5mm high (relative to the
actuator body).

E.8 Maintenance
! WARNING
Installation, configuration, commissioning, maintenance, and repairs must be performed
by approved and qualified personnel only.

E.8.1 Periodic Inspection


• Inspect the general condition of the ICON3000 and the possible optional additional
extension at regular intervals. The recommended frequency of inspection is once
every two years but this frequency could change depending on the installation and
working conditions. Any crack on the surface, broken windows, or loose bolts must
be reported for repair.
• Keep the external surfaces of the unit clean: if the unit is installed in a dusty
environment, the specification stated in IEC/EN 60079-14 is to be followed
(ensuring in particular that the dust layer does not exceed 5 mm).
• If the actuator is covered by an intumescent coating ("Kmass"), an electrostatic charge
risk is present; only anti-static cloth may be used when cleaning is required. When
performing maintenance, avoid rubbing actions against the actuator (or any other
friction-inducing action) that could electrostatically charge the unit.
• Check the condition of cable connections and mounting bolts; any loose
connection must be tightened.

E.8.2 Disassembly and Reassembly

! CAUTION
Using a fastener other than the approved type may result in damage to the actuator or
valve. Refer to Table 8.

! CAUTION
Failure to use proper torque values can result in damage to the actuator and/or valve.

If disassembly and subsequent reassembly of the explosion-proof enclosure is required,


take the necessary care to maintain all parts in their original condition.
To achieve this, the following steps must be taken:
• Do not damage the explosion-proof mating surfaces on the housing or on the
electrical enclosure cover.
• Reinstall all the screws that came with the dismantled parts and coat them with a
film of molybdenum-based grease. This will prevent the screws from sticking and
make future maintenance operations easier.
• If the screws need to be changed, the new screws must be of equal dimensions
and at least equal material quality to the screws originally supplied with the unit.
• Replace the weather-proof seals that may have been removed, i.e. O-Rings for
the cover.
• In particular, be sure to spread a film of Aeroshell grease over the joint surfaces of
all enclosures.

E.8.3 Repairs
When needed, repairs may only be carried out using spare parts supplied by the
manufacturer. All accessories must comply with approved specifications and follow the
application and site requirements.

! WARNING
Installation, configuration, commissioning, maintenance, and repairs must be performed
by approved and qualified personnel only.

! WARNING
The values of gaps of explosion-proof joints are lower than the maximum specified on Tables
of IEC/EN 60079-1 Standard and the values of widths of the explosion-proof joints are greater
than the values specified in the tables of the Standard IEC/EN 60079-1. Should maintenance
require the replacement of any component that forms part of an explosion-proof joint, only
an original spare provided by Emerson can be used. Direct repair or reconstruction of the
above components is not permitted without Emerson authorization. Not performing this
procedure will invalidate the product safety and contractual guarantee.

Original spare parts must be ordered from the manufacturer; to ensure that correct spares
are provided, the serial number printed on the ICON3000 product label must be specified
when an order for spares is placed.
