Warning/Caution

Notations

WARNING:

Personal injury or loss of life may occur if you do not

follow the procedures as specified.

CAUTION:

Equipment damage or loss of data may occur if you

do not follow the procedures as specified.

Application The MX4G61B Series valves are through-port or mixing valves with magnetic

actuators. The actuator is equipped with an electronics module for positioning control

and position feedback. If the power is off, the valve control path A →AB is closed.

The short positioning time, high resolution and high rangeability make these valves

ideal for modulating control of domestic, hot and cold water systems.

Key:

Δpvmax = Maximum permissible differential pressure across the valve's control path,

valid for the entire actuating range of the motorized valve (maximum

recommended operating differential pressure).

Δps= Maximum permissible differential pressure at which the motorized valve will

close securely against the pressure (close-off pressure).

SNA = Nominal apparent power for selecting the transformer.

Pmed = Average true power.

IN= Slow fuse (mandatory).

Cv = Nominal flow rate of cold water [41°F to 86°F (5°C to 30°C)].

L = Maximum cable length. With four-wire connections the maximum

permissible length of the separate 14 AWG Cu signal cable is 656 feet

(200 m).

Ordering •

•

The valve body and magnetic actuator assemblies cannot be separated.

The brass/bronze fittings are included.

The Z366 stem heater must be ordered separately.

When placing an order, specify the quantity, product number and description.

Example: 1 MXG461B15-0.6 valve and 1 Z366 stem heater

Accessories Z366 Stem heater for 24 Vac/10W.

Required for medium temperatures

<32°F (0°C).

Technical/

Mechanical Design

Automatic Control

The electronics module converts the positioning signal to a phase-cut power signal,

which generates a magnetic field in the coil. This causes the armature to change its

position according to the interacting forces (magnetic field, counterspring, hydraulics,

etc.). The armature responds rapidly to any change in signal, transferring the

corresponding movement directly to the valve plug. This enables fast changes in load to

be corrected quickly and accurately.

The valve’s position is measured continuously. Any disturbance in the system is rapidly

corrected by the internal positioning controller, which ensures that the positioning signal

and the valve stroke are exactly proportional, and also delivers the position feedback

signal.

Control The magnetic actuator can be driven by any controller with a 0/2 to 10 Vdc or 0/4 to

20 mA output signal.

To achieve optimum control performance, it is recommended to use a 4-wire connection

for the valve.

The controller’s signal ground terminal M must be connected to the valve’s terminal M.

Terminals M and G0 have the same potential, and are internally interconnected in the

valve’s electronics.

CAUTION:

You must use a four-wire connection with Vdc power supply.

Manual Adjustment Press (a) and turn the hand wheel (b):

clockwise (CW). Control path A →AB can be

mechanically opened to between 80% and 90%,

counterclockwise (CCW). The actuator will be

switched off and the valve closed.

As soon as the hand wheel is pressed and turned,

neither the forced control signal Z, the input signal

Y, nor the phase-cut signal acts on the actuator.

The green LED will flash.

For automatic control, the hand wheel must be set

to the Auto position. The green LED will be lit.

SSEN0336R1

Auto

Man Off

Figure 2.

Calibration If the electronics module is replaced or the actuator turned

through 180°, the valve’s electronics must be recalibrated. To

recalibrate, the hand wheel must be set to Auto.

The printed circuit board has a slot (see Figure 3). Calibrate by

bridging the contacts located behind the slot on the printed

circuit board, using a screwdriver. The valve will then travel

across the full stroke to store the end positions.

While calibration is in progress, the green LED will flash for

about 10 seconds (see Indication of Operating State).

Installation Notes •

•

Installation instructions for the valve and terminal housing are enclosed with the

valve.

Valves are supplied complete with brass/bronze fittings.

The screwed valves are flat-faced to facilitate sealing with the gaskets supplied.

The use of sealing compounds, tape or hemp thread is not recommended.

For electrical installation, see Wiring Diagrams.

CAUTION:

•

Always disconnect the power before fitting or removing the terminal

housing. The terminal housing is calibrated and matched to the

actuator, and should be replaced only by qualified personnel.

Use the valve only as a mixing or straight-through valve, not as a

diverting valve. Note the flow direction.

Do not allow the surface temperature of the actuator to fall below the

dew point temperature of the surrounding air (causing condensation).

If necessary, insulate the valve. Do not insulate the actuator.

Use in Straight-through

Applications

Only three-way valves are supplied. These may

be used as straight-through valves by closing off

port B with the accessories supplied (nut, cover

and gasket).

Service

CAUTION:

Do not disassemble the valve and actuator combination. This assembly is

factory-calibrated, and should only be replaced by qualified personnel.

•

The low-friction and robust, maintenance-free design makes regular servicing

unnecessary and ensures a long service life.

The valve stem is sealed from external influences by a maintenance-free gland.

If the red LED is lit, the electronics must be recalibrated or replaced.

If required, the circuit board can be replaced. Order part number ASE12.
