INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Valve positioning

Install the valve so the actuator head is not below the horizontal level of the pipework. The open vent and

cold feed must not be isolated. The ow must be in the direction of the arrow. (from the centre port to either
Port A or Port B).

2. Fitting the valve body to the pipework

Fit the valve body using the nuts and olives provided. When tightening the compression nuts ensure that

only the valve body is used for grip. Take care not to overtighten.

3. Removal of actuator from the valve body

To remove the actuator head from the valve body ensure that the manual override lever is in the manual

position. Remove the two screws that x the actuator cover to the base. Remove the actuator cover. Remove
the two screws that x the base to the valve body. Remove the base of the actuator.

4. Fitting of actuator to the valve body

Before tting the actuator, please ensure that the maual override lever is in the raised manual position and

the xing screw is loosened. The actuator is mounted by aligning the 4mm at spindle on the valve body to
the identically sized slot on the actuator. Tighten the two xing screws on the base of the actuator. Fit the
actuator cover and tighten the two screws to hold the cover in place.

Once the valve is tted, place the manual override lever in the raised manual position. It is now possible

to ush and drain the system to remove any foreign matter. The system can now be relled and corrosion
inhibitor may be added if required.

5. Wiring Connections

5.1 The 1.2 metre cable can be connectd as follows:

WIRE COLOUR DESCRIPTION

Blue Neutral supply

Orange

Grey Hot Water OFF from cylinder stat or OFF from programmer

White Central Heating ON from room stat or ON from programmer

Yellow / Green Earth connection

Hot Water ON from cylinder stat or ON from programmer
Also connect to boiler and pump live.

CAUTION!

 Ensure that no more than a 3A fuse is used to supply all controls.
 It is not permissible to use any voltage other than 230V on the auxiliary switch.
 Electrical installation must conform with current I.E.E. regulations.
