What are the default settings for the 130VC-3 actuator?

Factory default setting for 130VC-3 Actuator range parameter is
the full pilot spring range scaled to match the 4 to 20 mA Remote
Command Input analog signal. Factory default setting for 130VC-3
Actuator rotation speed is one rpm with 24 VDC power.

How do I get the software to work with the actuator?

To set up a link with 130VC-3 Actuator, first install cable driver and
then the special multi-USB communications cable. After installing
driver and communication cable, the Actuator must be powered for
link to work. Follow wiring diagram and hardware hookup instruc-
tions. Download Wiring Diagram from website (www.cla-val.com).

How do I install Special USB Communication Cable?

When 130VC-3 communications cable is installed in your laptop
computer USB port for the first time, Windows will search your
computer for the cable USB driver. If Windows Plug and Play does

not automatically find the driver and connect to actuator, then the
cable driver must be set up manually. Windows will take you step-
by-step through the manual set up process. The cable USB driver
is installed during software download. You will have to browse to
the Cla-Val folder created during download where the driver file is
located. Details are in this manual.

My computer does not have a USB port

Older laptop computers with only Serial port may have a problem
using USB to Serial adapter with special USB connector cable and
communicating with 130VC-3 actuator. Make sure the USB to
Serial adapter cable is less than 18 inches long. Also, USB exten-
sion cables should not be used because they will degrade signals
and cause problems. If problem persists, consult Cla-Val factory
technical support.

Why is actuator LED still blinking red/green after I
downloaded the settings?

Once the calibration mode button is activated, all steps must be
done before downloading is begun. Actuator LED will show green
when downloading is successful and complete.

Can I make a file ahead of time and download it to
130VC-3 later?

All hardware hookup steps must be completed before program will
communicate and change 130VC-3 parameters. Until wiring and
power connections are made to the actuator, this program can be
opened, but new parameters can not be created or stored or sent
to the actuator. Changes to parameters must be done "live" and
while control valve is operating. Actuator LED will show green
when downloading is successful and complete.
