Salus T30NC Thermoelectric Actuator

Product detailed description

Thermoelectric actuators are simple devices used for controlling the flow of water in underfloor heating systems, allowing for automatic zonal regulation.

These valves can be controlled by devices such as Z-Water modules or dual relays from Fibaro or Aeotec. The choice of Z-Wave module depends on the number of zones you want to control. For one to five zones, dual relays are typically the most cost-effective option. For six to ten zones, a Z-Water module is more advantageous.

If you have multiple heating circuits in a room, such as the living room, each circuit needs its own actuator. However, you can combine all circuits into a single zone and use just one relay output, which is a great way to reduce regulation costs.

The actuator itself is a small, straightforward device suitable for manifolds with an M30x1.5 thread. It is available in versions for 230V or 24V (ensure you select the correct version before ordering).

Installation takes just a few seconds, thanks to the "FIRST OPEN" feature. This small red stopper holds the flow open, making installation simpler. Additionally, if your regulation system is not yet set up, you can still keep the zones partially open during installation.

The abbreviation NC on this device indicates that the valve is closed and prevents water flow when it is not powered with 230V/24V. Please ensure this is the correct actuator type for your system before installation. It is suitable for use with systems like Fibaro, Zipato, Popp, Homey, etc.

The valve opens and closes within 2 minutes, with a total stroke of 4mm and a power consumption of only 2W when open. It also features a "head" that allows you to easily see whether the valve is open or closed.

Pros:

• Compact design
• Excellent price compared to similar products from other brands
• Long lifespan

Cons:

• Essentially none; it's a simple device that works reliably.
