NOTE
The product may only be used if you have fully read and understood these operating instructions. The manual is
also available on the AFRISO websites in the Internet.
WARNING!
The ARV Vario ProClick mixing valve may only be installed, commissioned, and dismantled by trained
personnel.
Changes and modifications carried out by unauthorised persons may cause danger and are prohi-
bited for safety reasons.
Risk of burns from hot medium! All installation and maintenance work must be carried out aer
the system has cooled down.
APPLICATION
ARV Vario ProClick -way mixing valves are designed for heating and cooling installations. They are usually installed
on the system feed or return to the heat source. They mix the medium flow in the right proportions to obtain the
required temperature of the medium. They can also act as switching valves between two parts of the system.
DESCRIPTION
ARV Vario ProClick -way rotary mixing valves have a body made of brass. The closing element and internal
components are made of plastic. It is possible to adjust the Kvs coeicient value on each valve. A dedicated lever
on the underside of the valve is used to change this parameter. The connections on internal threaded models are
octagonal. The valves are equipped with knobs for manual adjustment and angle limiters. The rotating scale on
one side is printed with the graduation " to " and the symbol "L", while the other side has the graduation "
to " and the symbol "R". This allows the valve to operate in dierent mounting positions. The knob is made of
non-slip material. For the connection of ARV ProClick valves to ProClick actuators or controllers, there are plastic
parts under the knob. With these parts, ProClick actuators and controllers are mounted without using any tools.
KVS VARIO FUNCTION
ARV Vario ProClick -way rotary mixing valves enable to select the optimum Kvs coeicient value for a particular
installation and subsequently changed. The correct Kvs value is a key aspect to the correct operation of the mixing
valve. If the Kvs value is too low, this will result in increased pressure losses through the valve and thus throttle the
flow in the system. This may result in underheating of rooms. Too high value of the Kvs coeicient will result in too
small pressure drop across the mixing valve and thus large fluctuations in the temperature of the medium which
feeds the installation. This is particularly unfavourable in the case of surface heating systems. Optimum selection
of the Kvs coeicient enables smooth and economical operation of the whole installation.

The ARV Vario ProClick mixing valve is supplied with a fitted plastic knob. In order to prevent plastic components
from damage, we recommend that lid with the scale, the knob and the blue limiting ring should be removed from
valve before mounting the valve in installation. These elements are mounted with a snap. If you have problems
removing the knob, you can gently lever it o with a flathead screwdriver.
VALVE SELECTIONS AND KVS SETTINGS
Caution! The correct Kvs coeicient of the valve must be set before the first start of the installation.
Subsequent change is possible but may be diicult due to lack of free access to the valve.
The size and value of the Kvs coeicient of the mixing valve should be specified in the design of the installation.
In the absence of a design, the valve and the Kvs coeicient can be based on simplified selection charts. The Kvs
selection charts for each valve are included in the appendix to this manual.
The simplified selection procedure goes as follows:
. Determine the heat demand of the installation in kW.
. Select the value for the temperature dierence ∆T between supply and return (e.g. ∆T=K for underfloor
heating; ∆T=K or ∆T=K for radiator heating).
. Run a vertical line from the selected power in kW to the selected temperature dierence ∆T.
. Guide the horizontal line to the end of the coloured box in the diagram on the right.
. Select the smallest Kvs value from those with which the horizontal line in the coloured area intersects. The
coloured field defines the optimal pressure drop in the valve. In typical installations this should be between
 and  kPa.
. Select the appropriate valve size that enable setting selected value.
The selected valve may be equal or smaller compared to diameter of pipes used in the system. The valve on the
system feed may be two diameters smaller, and on the return to the solid fuel boiler, one diameter smaller than
the nominal diameter of pipes used.
Example: pipe diameter DN is used in the system, so the valve in the system feed should be sized in range of
DN-DN and on the return to the heat source DN-DN.
VALVE IN SWITCHING/DIVERTING FUNCTION
When using the valve in a switching or diverting function, there is no need to change the factory (maximum) Kvs
coeicient setting.

. Installation of the ProClick electric actuator or controller
Under the knob of the ARV Vario ProClick valve, there is always an adapter for mounting the ProClick electric actuator
or the controller. With the ProClick mounting system (fig. ), simply remove the knob and blue limiting ring from
the valve and then slide the ProClick actuator or controller into position until the mounting mechanism engages
on the valve. When using the valve in the mixing function, ACT/ARC ProClick controller or a -point actuator must
be used (e.g. AFRISO ARM  ProClick). In order to automate the valve in the switching function, a -point actuator
(e.g. AFRISO ARM  ProClick) must be used.

OPERATION OF THE VALVE
. Position of the knob with scale
Once the valve has been correctly set and the scale was selected, position "" will mean that the valve is fully closed
(hot water supply is closed) and position "" will mean the valve is fully open (hot water supply is open). Any other
position on the scale will indicate the percentage of valve opening (e.g. position "" will mean the valve is % open).

of the valve, remove the knob from the adapter and check the location of the flattening.

On each of the ARV Vario ProClick -way mixing valves there is a nameplate with three marked Kvs coeicent values.
In addition, it is also possible to select intermediate values between these values.
The diagrams below show a simplified way of selecting the Kvs value for each valve size. If the selected valve has
a pressure drop value of less than  kPa at the minimum Kvs value, select a valve with a smaller diameter and for
this determine the required Kvs. If the pressure drop value is bigger than  kPa at the maximum Kvs value, select
a valve with a larger diameter and for this determine the required Kvs.
The procedure for Kvs selection is described in detail in the valves manual in chapter: "Valve selection and Kvs
setting".
