Step 4. Electrical Connections: 

The actuator is fitted with 1100mm of 5-core cable for connection of the system 
equipment. The installation will be simplified by the use of an electrical junction 
box into which all the system equipment can connect. 
The actual wiring connections will depend on the system equipment used, 
following the wiring principle outlined below. The MPE 228 is double insulated 
and requires no earth connection. 

 

IMPORTANT:

 

The wiring must 
comply with 
current I.E.E. 
regulations. Ensure 
mains supply to all 
controls is fused at 
no more than 3A. 
Mains isolating 
switch must have 
contact separation 
of at least 3mm.

Step 5. Commissioning: 

When the installation is complete, filled and vented, check that the valve operates 
correctly. Switch on the system controls, i.e. programmer and thermostats: The 
valve should move to the open position. When fully open any equipment connected 
to the valve’s auxiliary switch should operate. 
Switch off the heating controls: The valve should spring return to the closed 
position and auxiliary equipment should cease to operate. 

Notes:  

a.

 

Ensure that the actuator is not covered with thermal insulation, or in 
contact with pipe work or other materials. 

b.

 

When the valve is fitted in confined space, ample ventilation must be 
provided to ensure that the valve is kept within the specified ambient 
temperature range. 

c.

 

The valve actuator is not designed for continuously powered operation.
