At Q-TECH, we apply the same clear rules for everyone: the law protects you, and when applied correctly, it protects us as well. By processing your purchase, you accept our General Terms and Conditions of Sale. If you are purchasing as a consumer (B2C), nothing stated herein limits the rights granted to you by mandatory law (RDL 1/2007, TRLGDCU): the 3-year legal warranty of conformity and the right of withdrawal under the terms and with the exceptions legally provided, which are detailed below. References to "B2B" apply only to businesses and professionals.

Your guarantees

  • Rights intact: 14 days of withdrawal from receipt for most products—subject to the legal exceptions you will see below, such as goods made to your specifications—and a 3-year legal warranty of conformity, under the terms of the TRLGDCU.
  • Conformity with the description: we guarantee that the equipment will correspond to the published technical description and what one could reasonably expect from it (arts. 115 et seq. TRLGDCU). Images and videos are for guidance only: the manufacturer may supply a more recent revision of the product or introduce minor aesthetic, packaging, or firmware changes, without this constituting a lack of conformity as long as the described characteristics and performance are maintained.
  • Traceability that also protects you: we document the condition, serial number, and seal of each piece of equipment upon shipment, and we video-record the opening of returns; this is your proof of the condition in which the goods were delivered.

Responsible use and your part

  • If you are thinking of returning it, keep it as you received it: without installing or activating it, with its seals, accessories, and packaging intact. This is how to ensure a full refund, without deductions.
  • Handling that exceeds inspection reduces value: handling the equipment beyond what is necessary to verify its nature and operation may result in a real, assessed, and case-by-case justified deduction (art. 108.2 TRLGDCU), never a fixed percentage. In particular: activating or registering the serial number, linking it to a manufacturer's account or app, circulating water through hydraulic equipment, unsealing probes, or installing software or consumables. Initial inspection of the product does not lead to a deduction.
  • The same item must be returned: withdrawal requires returning the supplied unit. Different equipment, or equipment with prior use, age, or wear prior to purchase, does not constitute a valid withdrawal.
  • Installation and cybersecurity, shared responsibility: this is technical hardware; you are responsible for correct installation, credentials, patches, and backups, while we deliver a compliant product. Q-TECH is not liable for damages resulting from poor installation, incorrect configuration, or omission of patches by the customer or third parties (in B2C, without prejudice to the legal warranty and liability for intent or negligence, arts. 86 and 130 TRLGDCU).
  • Delivery of bulky goods: delivery is made to the curb. B2C: transport risk is ours until physical delivery (art. 66 ter); we recommend noting visible damages on the delivery note and notifying us of breakages within 24-48 hours with photographs to activate the insurance. B2B: inspection and notation on the delivery note are mandatory; hidden damages must be reported within 24 hours (art. 366 CCom). Unjustified rejection or incorrect shipping information will entail the actual outbound and return costs (approx. €85-550 for heavy machinery).

Made to your measure (Advanced Pre-Assembly)

  • If your order includes equipment, racks, hydraulic assemblies, or technical rooms made or configured according to your specifications (permanent joints, custom cuts or wiring, parameterization, pressure testing), these are custom goods without the right of withdrawal from the conclusion of the contract (art. 103.c TRLGDCU; CJEU Case C-529/19), which is informed before purchasing and documented in the signed Order Note. A test you request without permanent modification retains your right of withdrawal, with only the actual loss of value caused by that test being deducted. Would you prefer to receive it tested, configured, and ready to connect, without assuming these risks? Contract our Advanced Pre-Assembly or the prior technical audit.

If you are purchasing as a business or professional (B2B)

  • The transaction is governed by the Commercial Code: firm sale, without the right of withdrawal; notification of defects within 4 days (apparent) / 30 days (hidden), arts. 336 and 342. Q-TECH acts as a distributor and excludes indirect damages, loss of profit, and data loss, limited to the price of the equipment, without prejudice to the manufacturer's commercial warranty.

ESBE ARA600 2-point rotary actuator for heating and hot water diverting valves

The ESBE ARA600 2-point actuator moves ESBE rotary valves from DN15 to DN50 between their two end positions with a 230 V on and off signal. At Q-Tech we fit it to its diverting valve in the pre-assembled plant room, wired and tested in our workshop.

Q-Tech installationFitted to its valve in the Q-Tech pre-assembled plant room

What is the ESBE ARA600 2-point?

The ESBE ARA600 2-point is a rotary actuator for diverting valves that turns the valve from one end of its 90° stroke to the other when it receives power. It can be operated by hand with the front knob. It mounts directly on the valve spindle.

What problem does it solve?

Many systems need to split the water between two circuits: the heat pump heats either the domestic hot water cylinder or the heating, not both at once. The ARA600 2-point turns the diverting valve as soon as the thermostat or the appliance gives the command.

Using a mixing actuator for a diverting job complicates the wiring and adds nothing. A 2-point actuator only needs an on signal, and ESBE states that it also accepts a 3-point signal.

Compatibility and limits

  • It fits the ESBE VRG130 valve, which works as a diverting valve depending on how its three ports are connected, and the other ESBE VRG, VRB and VRH valves from DN15 to DN50.
  • For other valve brands, ESBE offers adaptor kits ordered separately: Honeywell Centra, Lovato, Meibes, PAW, Watts and WITA.
  • The 2-point range ESBE publishes is 230 V only: a 24 V control needs a different actuator.
  • IP41 enclosure: install it indoors, protected from dripping water.
  • It only uses the end positions: it cannot control a mix.

When this product is not the right choice

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ARA655 and ARA656?

Only the auxiliary switch. The ARA656 has it fitted; it can be added to the ARA655 with the ESBE ARA801 kit.

Can it switch between domestic hot water and heating?

Yes. That is its typical use: with an ESBE VRG130 valve connected as a diverter, it sends the water to one circuit or the other.

Can the valve be moved without power?

Yes. Pull the front knob and turn it by hand.

Is there a 24 V version?

No. The ARA600 2-point range that ESBE publishes is 230 V only.

What is the delivery time?

It is in stock at our warehouse and we dispatch it as soon as we confirm the order.

Q-Tech installation and support
