Product Description
General description
WARNING:
California Proposition 65 warning! This product contains chemi-
cals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE:
This product is not intended for potable water applications.
Features
• Integrated micro switch with floating contact. This switch allows direct
operation of a pump or fan unit.
• Thermoelectric actuator. This actuator opens the snap zone valve when
the thermostat closes, signalling a need for heat. As long as heat is re-
quired, the snap zone valve is kept in the open position by a built-in con-
trol switch, which meters small amounts of electricity to the actuator.
When the thermostat opens, indicating the need for heat has been satis-
fied, a return spring in the snap zone valve slowly closes the valve.
Required device
A safety isolating transformer must always be used.
Rule-of-thumb formula:
• p
transformer
= 6W x n
• n = Number of snap zone valve actuators
