INTRODUCTIONThe 32rmx is a motorised mixing valve with electronic control. It is designed tocontrol the temperature of blend water in a multiple outlet distribution system, referto Figures 2 and 3.

DESCRIPTION

Rada products are precision-engineered and should give continued superior andsafe performance, provided:

1. They are installed, commissioned, operated and maintained in accordance withthe recommendations given in this Manual.

2. Periodic attention is given, as necessary, to maintain the product in goodfunctional order. Recommended guidelines are given in the MAINTENANCEsection.

The Rada 32rmx incorporates a "cold initiate" facility designed to provide a degreeof user protection against high water temperatures, should the power supply fail.The valve achieves this by storing reserve power adequate to close down its incominghot water supply, thereby allowing cold water only into the circuit.

INSTALLATIONGeneralInstallation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, andmust be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.

1. Supply pipes must be flushed to clear debris before connecting the controller.

2. The plumbing circuit configuration should comply with relevant Rada guidancepublications.

3. With low pressure circuits care must be taken with circuit design to preventairlocks.

4. Do not use excessive force when making connections.

5. The Controller may be mounted in any attitude providing the temperature displayis visible and accessible for adjustment. Adjacent pipework should be rigidlysupported as the Controller has no wall bracket.

6. Supply pipework layout should be arranged to minimise the effect of hydraulicrestriction or other outlet usage upon the dynamic pressures at the mixing valveinlets. Recommended minimum supply line pipe diameter is 1" or 28 mm.

7. This product requires 13V AC supply. A separate transformer is available forthis purpose, reference PT100 (100/110V) or PT220 (220/240V). Installationdetails and specification are provided with each transformer (ref. P2623). TheRada 32rmx cable entry is threaded to accept 20 mm conduit if required, and ifused, a fitting that provides adequate sealing will be necessary.

8. When fitting the outlet pipe the thread must be of full form. This will prevent itfrom screwing too far into the valve and damaging the temperature probe, whichcan be seen protruding into the outlet bore.

9. Check that the valve bleed hole is not externally blocked. It can be foundopposite the outlet, just behind the base flange (refer to Figure 8). This is usedto give warnings of a leak in the bellows assembly. A secondary seal preventsingress of water to the electronics. If a leak is apparent the fault must be remediedwithout delay.

10. Prior to fitting the two modulating circuit dial thermometers, they should bechecked against each other at the intended circuit temperature. Any differenceshould be noted (see Circulating Flow Adjustment).

Temperature AdjustmentFigure 4

CommissioningBefore turning on the electrical supply to the electronic valve, check the following:

1. Availability of hot water to the mixing valve.

2. Gate valves around the modulating circuit fully open.

Note! Bypass valve must be closed (if fitted).

3. The circulating pump and 32rmx transformer should be wired in parallel, fromthe same isolator unit.

4. If a time clock is used both the transformer and pump should be wired from thiscircuit, alternatively a cylinder mounted thermostat can be used to turn off thevalve when the hot water temperature approaches that of the blend. Operatingthe valve without hot water may shorten its life.

After checking the above turn on the electrical supply. The display will initially illuminatewith the outlet water temperature. The 32rmx will immediately turn to full hot toremove the deadleg of cold water in the hot line. It will then blend water atapproximately 45oC, as this temperature is set at the Factory before despatch.

Temperature Adjustment1. Allow the hot water supply to reach its working temperature.

2. SLIDE the nameplate to the right, away from the digital temperature display,exposing the temperature adjusting screw. The SET temperature will now bedisplayed.

3. With a SMALL screwdriver gently rotate the screw in the direction indicated foreither a rise or drop in the blend temperature, until the required blend setting isdisplayed. One turn of the screw adjusts approximately 5oC.

4. Slide the nameplate fully back to the left. The ACTUAL blend temperature willnow be displayed. Allow a few seconds for the blend temperature to settle.

Page 11: 32rmx - Rada Controlsassets.radacontrols.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/p2622_3.pdf · Allows input/output capability for remote monitoring ... (ref. P2623). The Rada 32rmx cable entry is

11

Circulating Flow Adjustment1. A circulating pump with adjustable performance is recommended, to enable the

flow and temperature drop to be set.

2. With cistern fed supplies, it is possible to draw air into the circuit, near to thepump, if the pump is set at too high a flow rate. A gravity checkvalve on theaffected outlet will remedy this, if the pump speed cannot be lowered.

3. A temperature drop of at least 2oC is required around the modulating circuit,and a reduction in the flow rate along the circuit by adjusting the pump controls(either electrical or mechanical), or a flow setting valve should achieve this,whilst still complying with the minimum flow rate of 10 l/min. This should bedone with no draw-off taking place, and the fitting of a direct reading flowmeasurement and setting valve is recommended. The two temperatures areread from the outlet thermometer and return thermometer.

4. Since the temperature loss around the circuit should have been calculated priorto installation, by setting the temperature drop around the circuit, the minimumflow should at least be reached.

5. When setting the circuit temperature drop, sufficient time should be allowed forthe circuit conditions to settle between adjustments. This time will depend uponthe circuit length, usually between approximately 5 and 30 minutes. Once theflow has been set, no further adjustments due to ambient temperature orseasonal changes, should be necessary.

Reversed Inlets (refer to Figures 5 & 6)

The standard valve is supplied with: HOT - RIGHT, COLD - LEFT inlets and topoutlet. When inlets are reversed, it should be noted that the "cold initiate"facility is less effective. Should it be necessary to correct the reverse inlets, thefollowing procedure must be followed:

1. Isolate the power.

2. Remove the red cover by undoing the 4 cover screws and gently lift the coveraway from the base. The wire sets connecting the base and cover are sufficientlylong to enable the cover to be turned sideways. (Do not strain wires).

3. Locate the wires from the circuit board to the drive unit motor (red and black),removing plug C by gripping the plug BODY and gently pulling away.

4. Rotate plug C and replace. The red plug wire should now be adjacent to thegreen LED.

5. Replace the cover, taking care not to trap the control wires.

Top and Bottom Outlets (refer to Figures 7 & 8)

The valve is supplied top outlet. The valve can be inverted and used as bottomoutlet, however, please note that:

1. The bleed hole (normally on the underside of the valve) which provides a visualwarning of internal leakage, may now be mostly obscured from view.

2. To maintain full cold initiate effectivity, the inlets should now be orientatedHOT - LEFT, COLD - RIGHT.

3. The temperature read-out will now be inverted. If it is necessary to correct this,the following procedure should be followed:

3.1. Isolate the power.3.2. Remove the red cover by undoing the 4 cover screws and gently lifting

the cover away from the base. The wire sets connecting the base andcover are sufficiently long to enable the cover to be turned sideways.(Do not strain wires).

MAINTENANCE

GeneralMaintenance must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, andmust be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.

Warning: Isolate the electrical power supply and if necessary the water supplybefore you remove/install components.

Use only silicone based lubricants with this product.

Periodically:

Lubricate the crank arm ball swivel (refer to Figure 12).

Examine the bleed hole for signs of water, renew the bellows assembly or related'O' seals if necessary.

When ordering spare parts, please state product type, i.e. Rada 32rmx ElectronicTemperature Controller and identify part name and number. Refer to the SPAREPARTS section.

Removal/Installation ProceduresIn the procedures that follow the numbers used after the component names arethose used in the spare parts diagrams at the rear of this manual.

1. Cover Assembly (001 98)

Remove 4 screws (618 31) and gently lift off cover. Remove interconnectingwires by gripping each PLUG BODY and pulling gently. When replacing coverensure that the wires are not trapped.

2. Temperature Probe Assembly (792 97) (refer to Figure 9)

Remove cover assembly.

Disconnect Plug B, then using a 12 mm A/F spanner undo the probe nut andremove. A quantity of water will issue from the hole. This MUST be preventedfrom entering the electronics and motor.

Renew seal (631 30) or assembly complete (792 97), as appropriate.

Caution: Take care not to damage the tip of the probe.

Note: After installation, the new temperature probe may require some re-calibration to compensate for possible slight variations in probe characteristics.This is achieved by adjusting the "display adjust potentiometer" (refer to Figure6), anticlockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease display reading, until thedisplayed "actual" temperature corresponds with that on the outlet thermometer.
