🚀 High Precision Regulation for Rotary Mixing Valves
He ESBE ARA600 Series 3-point control actuator It is the professional motor designed to operate ESBE rotary mixing valves with extreme precision, compatible with nominal diameters from DN15 to DN50This actuator is the preferred solution for all mixing and diverting applications where reliable modulation is required.
Thanks to its patented coupling interface, the actuator and valve assembly (VRG, VRB, VRH) achieves a extraordinary stability and precision during temperature or flow regulation, ensuring energy efficiency and total control of your heating or cooling system.
✨ EEAT and Benefits: Dynamic and Flexible Control
Choosing the ARA600 actuator, backed by ESBE's experience, ensures maximum performance in modulating your system.
- 3-Point Modulation: Precise and progressive control of the valve position, essential for critical mixing applications (e.g., underfloor heating).
- Universal ESBE Compatibility: It is supplied with the adapter kit (Part No. 16000500) for direct installation in series VRG, VRB, VRH, G, MG, F, BIV, T, TM, H and HG.
- Integrated Manual Control: It includes a front button which, when lifted, allows manual operation of the valve, facilitating start-up and maintenance.
- Operational Flexibility: Standard operating range of 90º and various operating time options available (from 30s until 1200s) to adapt to the dynamics of your circuit.
- Auxiliary Microswitch Option: Models ARA6X2 and ARA6X4 (or optional kit) include a tool-less adjustable auxiliary switch, ideal for sending signals to pumps or boilers at specific valve positions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Technical
💡 What does it mean for the actuator to be "3-point signal controlled"?
The 3-point (or floating) control allows the valve position to be adjusted gradually between the 0% and the 100% The opening is controlled based on the controller signal (e.g., thermostat). This is achieved using two control signals: one for opening and one for closing, with the motor stopping when both signals are inactive.
💡 Will the 16000500 adapter kit work for my old ESBE G valve?
Yes. The included adapter kit (Part No. 16000500) has been designed for a wide range of ESBE rotary mixing valves, including the latest series (VRG, VRB, VRH) and earlier models such as the G Series. This ensures broad and reliable compatibility.
💡 How do I manually operate the ARA600 actuator?
Manual operation is a simple, tool-free process. Simply pull the rotary knob on the front of the actuator to disengage the motor, and then rotate the knob to position the valve as desired.
📞 Technical Support and Selection of Operating Times
The actuator's operating time must match the dynamics of your system. If you need help selecting the rotation time (e.g., 30 s vs 120 sTo integrate the auxiliary switch, please contact our technical support team. Trust The regulation begins here.
