3.5 Commissioning the Actuator
Before attempting to commission the actuator, verify that the actuator is installed correctly on the valve and main power
is “ON.”
After making the initial electrical connections detailed in Section 3.3, Electrical Connections, the MX actuator may be
commissioned without removing any covers. No special tools are required. Configuration is accomplished through the
use of the LCD and the control knobs mounted on the control panel.
For positioning the actuator:
1. Place the red knob in the “LOCAL” position.
2. Move the black knob to the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” position.
