Danfoss AMB 162 Actuator For Temperature Control In Central Heating Systems
Product Usage Instructions
- Power Supply Connection
- Connect the power supply wires according to the specified N L 230 V (24V) ~ configuration.
- Input and Output Connections
- Connect the AC 24 V and DC 24 V input voltages to the corresponding terminals. Connect the output voltage Y DC and control signal X DC to the designated terminals.
- Operating Mode Selection
- Set the operating mode to either 3-point or 3-point+switch, Modulating as per your requirements.
- Valve Control
- Use the S4 switch for valve control. Rotate the switch to open or close the valve. The LED indicators will show the status of the valve.
Description
Actuators AMB are intended to control rotating mixing and diverting valves. AMB 162 and AMB 182 actuators are used for temperature control in central heating systems together with 3-way and 4-way rotary valves of the types HRB, HRE and HFE.
Features
- Additional AUXILIARY switch;
- Indication of actual valve position;
- LED indication of turning direction;
- Manual valve turning mode is enabled by a permanent clutch.
- No damage in case of valve blocking.
- Silent and reliable operation;
- Maintenance-free;
- Selectable speed on DIP switch;
- LED indication of activated AUXILIARY switch ( 3-point controlled actuators only).
