1. Prodott Aktarview
The Uponor Thermal Actuator (Model 1022244) is designed for precise control of valves in Uponor, Polytherm, and Wirsbo Vario B underfloor heating distributors. This actuator operates on 230V AC and features a Normally Closed (NC) function, meaning the valve is closed when no power is supplied and opens when power is applied.
Il-karatteristiċi ewlenin jinkludu:
- Funzjoni: Normally Closed (NC) - valve closes without current.
- Vol nominalitage: 230V AC.
- Internal Thread: M28 x 1.5 for secure mounting.
- Indikatur: Integrated lift indicator for visual status confirmation.
- Konnessjoni: Equipped with a 0.75 mm² x 1m connection cable.
- Protezzjoni: Splash-proof design.

2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or property damage.
- Persunal kwalifikat: Installation and electrical connections must only be performed by qualified and authorized personnel.
- Skonnettjar tal-Enerġija: Always disconnect the main power supply before performing any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
- Voltage: Tiżgura l-provvista voltage matches the actuator's nominal voltage (230V AC).
- Ambjent: Do not install in environments exceeding the specified operating temperature or humidity ranges.
- Modifiki: Do not modify the actuator or its components. Unauthorized modifications void the warranty and can be hazardous.
3. Installazzjoni u Setup
This section provides instructions for the correct installation of the thermal actuator onto your underfloor heating manifold.
- Itfi: Ensure the main power supply to the underfloor heating system is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker.
- Identify Valve: Locate the specific valve on the Uponor, Polytherm, or Wirsbo Vario B underfloor heating distributor where the actuator is to be installed.
- Mount Actuator: Carefully screw the thermal actuator onto the valve's M28 x 1.5 internal thread. Hand-tighten until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Konnessjoni Elettrika: Connect the 230V AC electrical cable from the actuator to the appropriate control terminal on your heating system's wiring center. Ensure connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes. The actuator functions as Normally Closed (NC), meaning it will open the valve when power is supplied.
- Verify Indicator: After connection, the lift indicator on the actuator should be visible. Its position will change once power is applied and the actuator begins to operate.
- Irrestawra l-Enerġija: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the heating system.

4. Operazzjoni
The Uponor Thermal Actuator operates based on the electrical signal it receives from the heating control system.
- Normalment Magħluq (NC): When no electrical current is supplied to the actuator, the valve remains closed, preventing water flow.
- Valve Opening: When the heating control system sends a 230V AC signal to the actuator, it begins to heat up internally. This causes a wax element to expand, slowly pushing the valve stem open. This process typically takes a few minutes.
- Valve Closing: When the electrical signal is removed, the actuator cools down, and the wax element contracts, allowing the valve to close.
- Lift Indicator: The transparent lift indicator on the side of the actuator provides a visual confirmation of the valve's status. When the valve is open, the indicator will be in a different position compared to when it is closed.
5. Manutenzjoni
The Uponor Thermal Actuator is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic visual inspections are recommended.
- Spezzjoni Viżwali: Periodically check the actuator for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or leaks around the valve.
- Tindif: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the actuator with a dry or slightly damp drapp. Tużax tindif jew solventi li joborxu.
- Iċċekkja tal-Funzjoni: Observe the lift indicator during heating cycles to ensure the actuator is opening and closing the valve as expected.
No internal maintenance or lubrication is required for this device.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
If you experience issues with your Uponor Thermal Actuator, consult the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Actuator not opening/closing | No power supply to the actuator. Konnessjoni tal-wajers difettuża. Actuator failure. | Check if 230V AC is supplied to the actuator when heat is demanded. Iċċekkja li l-konnessjonijiet elettriċi kollha huma siguri. If power is present and connections are good, the actuator may need replacement. |
| Lift indicator not moving | Ebda enerġija jew enerġija insuffiċjenti. Ostruzzjoni mekkanika. | Confirm 230V AC power supply. Ensure the actuator is correctly seated on the valve and there are no obstructions. |
| Water leakage around valve | Actuator not properly tightened. Faulty valve or manifold. | Ensure the actuator is securely hand-tightened onto the valve. Do not use tools to overtighten. Inspect the valve and manifold for damage. Contact a qualified plumber if the leak persists. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified technician or Uponor customer support.
