Application
The MXG461...U (screwed fitting) and MXF461
...U (fl
ange fitting) valves are mixing or
straig
ht-throu
gh valves wit
h a factory ca
librated and
mounted m
a
gnetic actuator. The
magneti

positioning feedback. Cont
rol path A
ĺ
AB is closed
when the valve is de-energi
zed.
CAUTIO
N:
The valve is suitable for st
raight-t
h
rou
gh
normally cl
osed or three-way
appli
cations and may be installed
only in a mixing arrangement.
The direction of flow (A
ĺ
AB) must be
as indi
cated on the valve.
The fast posit
ioning time, high resolution and high rangeability make these valves ideal
for modul
atin
g control of chilled and h
o
t water
systems in closed circuits. Sturdy

Ordering
Whe
n usi
ng a
2-1/2 inch flanged valve in
a
straight
-through applicat
ion, a blanking
flange is required for the thi
rd port. If required, order Z
155/65
separately.
For scre

valve.
Principles/
Construction
Automatic Control
The co
ntrol
si
gnal is
conve
rted by the micro
processo
r in the electro
nics modul
e into an
output sig
nal
that generate
s a magn
etic
fiel
d in the core. This
causes the only m
o
ving
part, the arm
ature, to change its position
in accordance with the interacting forces
(mag
netic fiel
d, counte
r-sp
ring, hydrauli
cs, an

). The arm
