1. General information

The installation and operating instructions serve
the installer to install the thermostatic mixing valve
professionally and to set it into operation. Read
installation and operating instructions in their enti-
rety before work commences.
Keep installation and operating instructions
safe. They must be handed over to the new
owner, if ownership changes. The instructions
must always be available for the specialist tra-
desman as servicing and repair reference!

1.1. Symbol explanation

1.3. Extent of supply
The thermostatic mixing valve is supplied with the
installation and operating instructions. Check the
delivery for completeness and any damages cau-
sed during transit.

2. Safety notes

2.1. Correct use

The thermostatic mixing valve must be installed
by a qualified installer with due consideration of
valid standards and rules.
Safety in operation is only guaranteed if the valve
is used correctly (see point 3).
The manufacturer does not accept liability for da-
mages and malfunctions caused by nonobser-
vance of these instructions.
2.2. Possible dangers at the installation loca-
tion
The hot water supply is shut off automatically within
the control range if the cold water supply is inter-
rupted. A tight shut off of the hot water supply is,
however, only guaranteed if the hot water entry
temperature is at least 10°C higher than the set
mixed water temperature.
If the temperatures are higher than
the set control range, the fail-safe functi-
on is skipped and a protection against
scalding is no longer guaranteed if the
cold water supply is shut off.
The thermostatic mixing valve may get
very hot during operation (for instance in
connection with solar plants). Do not
touch without safety gloves.
 RISK OF SCALDING!
3. Applications
The thermostatic mixing valve is designed for use
in potable water and heating systems. In potable
water systems it is installed in the supply pipe be-
hind the water heater and mixes hot and cold water.
The sensor element integrated in the "Brawa-Mix"
is engulfed by the mixed water and achieves an
exact regulation. The valve also features a fail-safe
function and the water supply is shut off automa-
tically in the control range if the cold water
supply is interrupted.
In heating systems the thermostatic mixing valve
can be used as temperature limiter for surface hea-
ting systems or as return temperature limiter.
The thermostatic mixing valve must
not be used in solar circuits! The
thermocouple can be destroyed
when exceeding the maximum
application temperature (
In order to avoid damage to the pipe-
work and valves or malfunctions caused by cal-
cification, especially in hot water systems, the
fitting of water treatment equipment is recom-
mended if the potable water is strongly calci-
fied. The national guidelines must be obser-
ved
90°C)!
