General Information:

IQ Insight allows a user to interrogate and configure an IQ mk2, IQT mk2, IQ Pro or IQT Pro actuator 
using a PC IrDA serial interface (Infrared Data Association) via a USB-IR header (supplied with the 
Rotork IQ Insight Kit or purchased separately from a third party).

Information regarding the commissioning and configuration of the actuator can be recorded for complete 
site records. IQ Insight provides access to the on-board datalogger to show historical incident data 
plus operational data for informed maintenance scheduling.

Updates to IQ Insight are available from the Rotork website at www.rotork.com. 
Rotork recommend that users access the Rotork website to get the latest publications, 
actuator wiring diagrams and contact information.

It is recommended that when communicating with an actuator, IQ Insight is run in isolation.  
Running multiple applications alongside IQ Insight may cause communication interruptions. 
IQ Insight performance will be subject to PC specification.
