Do not alter the product in any way.
Before mounting the product please read the manual of the mixing valve.

APPLICATION

Used in water-based heating and cooling systems, can be mounted on 3- and 4-way mixing valves.
When connected to an appropriate controller, ARM 3-point actuators are used to mix two streams via the mixing valve, and ARM 2-point actuators are used to switch the stream between two connections.
The ARM proportional actuator can be controlled, depending on the settings, with 0..10 V, 2..10 V, 0..20 mA, 4..20 mA or PWM signals and serve any function.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

1. ARM Pro Click electric actuator with a knob, double-sided scale (“from 0 to 10” and “from 10 to 0”) and an electric cable with a plug.
2. Instruction manual.
3. Mixing valve mounting manual.

CONSTRUCTION

The actuator can be mounted on the valve in four different positions. The blue ring with indicator must point upwards. If it does not, pull off the knob and blue ring. Then mount it back with the indicator pointing upwards. The blue ring has a special hole inside, allowing it to be lifted with a flat headed screwdriver.

The actuator power cable can be detached, which simplifies mounting and electrical work. To detach the actuator plug, lift the lever of the cover and slide it out of the actuator housing (Fig. 4.). Then proceed to take out the plug (Fig. 5.). The plug fits into the socket in only one position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Make electrical connections in the controller depending on the version of the actuator. The version is marked on the nameplate on the actuator housing.

3-point control actuator

Connect the actuator to the controller according to the diagram (Fig. 6).
The neutral wire of the actuator should be connected to the corresponsive clamp on the controller, or directly into the mains neutral wire.
After making the connections, check whether the actuator turns in the required direction.
If needed, swap wires 2 and 3.

2-point control actuator

The neutral wire of the actuator needs to be connected into the mains neutral wire. Detach the knob and set the switch (Fig. 8.) according to the diagram (Fig. 7.). Next, connect the wires depending on the required actuator rotation direction (example found on page 6).

2 and 3-point control actuator

Actuators marked like this can work as either 3-point or 2-point actuators.
To use the device in the 3-point mode, you need to:
Connect the actuator with a controller as shown in the diagram on Fig. 6.
After making the connections, check if the actuator turns in the direction required. If needed, swap wires 2 and 3.
To use the device in the 2-point mode, you need to:
Connect the neutral wire of the actuator directly to the mains neutral wire. Detach the knob and set the switch (Fig. 8.) according to the diagram (Fig. 7.). Next, connect the wires depending on the required actuator rotation direction.

An example for 2-point control

When the switch (Fig. 8.) is set to the , position, and voltage is applied to the black wire (2), the actuator will turn the valve counterclockwise to the end position. When voltage is applied to both the black (2) and brown (3) wires, the actuator will turn the valve clockwise to the other end position.
When the switch (Fig. 8.) is set to the , position, and voltage is applied to the brown wire (3), the actuator will turn the valve clockwise to the end position. When voltage is applied to both the brown (3) and black (2) wires, the actuator will turn the valve counterclockwise to the other end position.

Proportional control actuator

Detach the knob and use a flat headed screwdriver to select the appropriate letter on the switch (Fig. 9.) depending on the used control signal and the required valve opening time according to the table (Fig. 10.). Next, make the electrical connections as shown in the diagram (Fig. 11.). The actuator turn direction can be changed using the switch (Fig. 8.) located under the knob.|

USING THE ARM PROCLICK ACTUATOR

1. Signaling LEDs
   The LEDs on the left and right indicate the turning direction of the actuator and valve (Fig. 12.). The left one indicates the actuator turning counter- clockwise and the right one indicates turning clock wise.On proportional actuators, there is an additional green LED signaling the proper operation of the actuator, and an additional red LED signaling a malfunction (Fig. 13.). The signals description can be found in Tab. 1.

2. Proportional actuator protection mode
   The actuator is protected against destroying itself. When the actuator encounters an obstacle, it enters an alarm state, indicated by a constant green and blinking red light.
   Every 20 seconds, the actuator will attempt to turn the valve. If the actuator successfully turns the valve,
   it will return to normal operation mode, otherwise it stays in the alarm mode.
   Double pressing the manual mode pushbutton (Fig. 14.) from automatic to manual mode on the proportional actuator will clear the displayed errors.

3. Actuator operation mode
   It’s possible to switch the actuator from automatic to manual mode using the manual mode pushbutton
   When the pushbutton is in the upper position, the actuator is in the automatic mode. When the push-button is pressed down, manual operation, meaning freely turning the actuator knob, is possible.
   

4. Mounting and dismounting the actuator on a mixing valve
   To mount or dismount the actuator, you need to press and hold the ProClick mechanism pushbutton (1), and then slide the actuator on or off the valve spindle (2).

5. Selecting the scale and the position
   The double-sided scale of the knob should be inserted in the position corresponding to the required direction of the valve opening and closing (“from 0 to 10” or “from 10 to 0”), following the rule:

   • if the valve closes when turned to the right, clockwise, choose the “from 0 to 10” scale,
   • if the valve closes when turned to the left, counterclockwise, choose the “from 10 to 0” scale.

After choosing the correct scale, the “0” position will correspond to the valve being fully closed (no hot water input), while the “10” position will correspond to the valve being fully open (hot water input fully open). Other position on the scale will correspond to the respective valve opening percentage (ex. position “4” will correspond to the valve being 40% open ).
