OPERATION  
WHEN USED WITH SPDT (3-WIRE) CONTROLLER
 (Fig. 6):  On a call 
for heat, the NO thermostat contacts close, the valve opens port "A" and 
closes port "B". When the valve reaches port "A" fully open position, the 
cam actuated SW1 closes and SW2 opens. When the need for heat is 
satisfied, the NC thermostat contacts close,  energising the valve through 
SW1 to close port "A". When the port "A" is fully closed, the cam actuated 
SW2 closes and SW1 opens anticipating the next call for heat cycle. 
On power failure, the valve will stay at whatever position it was in when the 
power was interrupted. When power is restored, the valve will respond to the 
controller demand.

WHEN USED WITH SPST CONTROLLER
 (Fig. 7) :  On a call for heat, 
the thermostat contacts close. RLY1 is energized making the NO contacts 
in SW3, valve opens port "A" and closes port "B". When the port "A" fully 
open position is reached, the cam operated SW1 closes and SW2 opens. 
When need for heat is satisfied, the thermostat contacts open. RLY1 is de-
energized making the NC contacts in SW3, and port "A" is driven close 
through SW1 and the NC contacts of SW3. When the port "A" fully close 
position is reached, the cam operated SW2 closes and SW1 opens 
anticipating the next call for heat cycle.

CHECKOUT 
1. Raise the set point of the thermostat above room temperature to 
initiate a call for heat. 
2. Observe all control devices - Port A should open, port B should 
close and the auxiliary switch (if present) should operate and make 
at the end of the opening stroke activating the auxiliary equipment. 
3. Lower the set point of the thermostat below room temperature. 
4. Observe the control devices. Port A should close and all auxiliary 
equipment should stop. 
SERVICE 
This valve should be serviced by a trained, experienced service 
technician. 
1. If the valve is leaking , drain system OR isolate valve from the 
system.  Do not remove valve body from plumbing. 
2. Check to see if the cartridge needs to be replaced. 
3. If the motor or other internal parts of the actuator is damaged, 
replace the entire actuator assembly. 
NOTE: Honeywell hydronic valves are designed and tested for silent 
operation in properly designed and installed systems. However, water 
noises may occur as a result of excessive water velocity. Piping 
noises may occur in high temperature (over 212°F [100°C]) systems 
with insufficient water pressure. 
Do not use boiler additives which are petroleum based or contain 
mineral oil, hydrocarbons, or ethylene glycol acetate. Compounds 
which can be used, with minimum 50% water dilution, are diethylene 
glycol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol.
