1. Konec produktuview
The Drayton ZA5 replacement actuator is designed for compatibility with the Drayton 22mm 2-port motorised valve, specifically part number 27100. This actuator is a critical component in central heating systems, responsible for controlling the flow of water to a specific heating zone by opening and closing the associated valve.

2. Bezpečnostní informace
Always prioritize safety when working with electrical and heating systems. Failure to follow these instructions could result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury.
- WARNING: DISCONNECT SUPPLY BEFORE REMOVING COVER. Ensure the main electrical supply to the heating system is completely switched off at the consumer unit/fuse box before attempting any installation, maintenance, or removal of the actuator cover.
- Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician or heating engineer.
- Nepoužívejte pohon, pokud se jeví poškozený.
- Ujistěte se, že všechna elektroinstalace jsou bezpečná a splňují místní elektrotechnické předpisy.
- Keep the actuator dry and away from excessive moisture.

5. Instalační příručka
This section provides general guidance for replacing a Drayton ZA5 actuator. Always refer to the specific wiring diagrams provided with your heating system and consult a qualified professional if unsure.
Požadované nástroje:
- Sada šroubováků
- Odizolovače/řezačky drátu
- svtage tester
Kroky instalace:
- Vypnout: Locate the main electrical supply to your central heating system and switch it off at the consumer unit/fuse box. Verify that power is off using a voltage tester.
- Access Actuator: Identify the existing actuator on your 2-port motorised valve. It is typically secured by screws or clips.
- Odpojit kabeláž: Carefully note or photograph the existing wiring connections. Disconnect the five wires from the terminal block.
- Demontáž starého pohonu: Unscrew or unclip the old actuator from the valve body. The valve body itself usually remains in place.
- Instalace nového aktuátoru: Position the new Drayton ZA5 actuator onto the valve body, ensuring it aligns correctly. Secure it with the provided screws or clips.
- Připojení kabeláže: Connect the five wires of the new actuator to the terminal block, matching the connections noted in step 3. The typical wire colors and functions are:
- Brown: Live (Switched Live from programmer/thermostat)
- Modrá: Neutrální
- Zelená/žlutá: Země
- Orange: Switched Live (to boiler/pump)
- Grey: Return (from valve microswitch)
- Bezpečný kryt: Ensure all wires are neatly tucked away and secure the actuator cover.
- Obnovit napájení: Switch the main electrical supply back on.
- Testovací systém: Test the heating system to ensure the actuator operates correctly, opening and closing the zone valve as commanded by the thermostat or programmer.
6. Návod k obsluze
The Drayton ZA5 actuator operates automatically as part of your central heating system. It does not require manual intervention for its primary function.
- When the thermostat calls for heat in the zone controlled by the valve, the actuator receives an electrical signal, causing it to open the valve.
- Once the thermostat's set temperature is reached, or the heating program ends, the electrical signal is removed, and the actuator closes the valve, typically via a spring return mechanism.
- A small lever or button may be present on the actuator for manual override or to check valve operation during installation. Refer to your heating system's overall manual for specific instructions on using this feature, if available.
7. Údržba
The Drayton ZA5 actuator is designed to be maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. No user-serviceable parts are inside the unit.
- Keep the exterior of the actuator clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Do not attempt to lubricate any internal components.
- Periodically check the wiring connections for any signs of wear or looseness. Ensure power is off before inspecting connections.
- If the actuator shows signs of damage or malfunction, it should be replaced by a qualified professional.
8. Řešení problémů
If you experience issues with your heating system that you suspect are related to the zone valve actuator, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| No heat in zone | Actuator not opening valve; no power to actuator; faulty thermostat/programmer. | Check thermostat setting. Verify power to actuator (with power off, check wiring). Replace actuator if it does not respond to power. |
| Zone always hot (heating won't turn off) | Actuator stuck open; faulty microswitch in actuator; wiring fault. | Check if actuator returns to closed position when power is off. If not, replace actuator. Check wiring for shorts. |
| Actuator makes buzzing noise but doesn't move | Motor fault; obstruction in valve. | Replace actuator. Check valve for mechanical obstruction (requires draining system). |
| Actuator feels hot to touch | Normal operation (slight warmth); internal fault (excessive heat). | Slight warmth is normal. If excessively hot, disconnect power and replace actuator. |
For persistent issues, it is recommended to contact a qualified heating engineer.
