The hot water heating system can now be accurately and comfortably controlled by modulating the hot water supply. As the outdoor temperature changes, the MixiMizer will automatically calculate the pump speed required, to ensure proper water temperature for your heating system.

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions and local code requirements should always be followed, including the following: CAUTION: The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic noise.

General MixiMizer Features • All minimum and maximum settings are operating, not safety limits. Necessary auxiliary equipment and safety devices must be added. • The boiler return minimum temperature is fixed at 135°F. This function can be disabled by a DIP switch.
Optional Zone Control Input: The unit can • accept external “Call For Heat” input signal. This must be a powered signal (20 to 30 V AC .1 VA). This function can be enabled by a DIP switch. Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD): When the •...

Note 1: The injection piping (Supply and Return) must be at least one pipe diameter smaller than the piping of the boiler and system loops. Note 2: There must be a maximum of 4 pipe diameters between the tees in the boiler and system loops in order to prevent ghosts flow when the variable speed injection pump is off and either the boiler pump or system pump is on.

Arrows on the side or bottom of the pump chamber indicate direction of flow through the pump. Grundfos Miximizer pumps can be installed in both vertical and horizontal lines. Flow direction should be from the boiler loop into the system loop.

If the terminal box position needs to be changed, ensure that the electrical supply is turned off and close the isolation valves before removing the Allen screws. To change control box position: • Remove the four (4) Allen screws (4 or 5mm wrench) while supporting the stator (motor).

Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor (OATS): The Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor includes a built in 10 kW (ohm) thermistor which provides an accurate measurement of the outdoor temperature. The OATS sensor is protected by a white U.V. resistant PVC plastic enclosure (Fig. 3A & 3B). Sensor Figure 3B - Open Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor...

• The sensor should be placed downstream of a pump or after an elbow or similar fitting. This is especially important if large diameter pipes are used as the thermal stratification within the pipe can result in erroneous sensor readings. Proper sensor location requires that the fluid is thoroughly mixed within the pipe before it reaches the sensor.

Heating Curve - Dial Set Point: Before adjusting the dial settings, read through the sequence of operation to ensure that you understand how this control operates. The Heating Curve setting deter- mines the number of degrees the supply water temperature is raised for each one degree drop in outdoor temperature.

Start Up DO NOT START THE PUMP UNTIL THE SYSTEM • HAS BEEN FILLED, FLUSHED, PROPERLY vENTED, AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS. • Ensure that water does not enter the terminal box during the installation process. • Do not use the pump to vent the system. Install additional ventilation for system purging.
Error Messages and Trouble Shooting Whenever a fault is detected in any of the sensors, the control LEDs will flash in a specific way, to indicate the lo- cation of the problem, and the control will assume a specific operating condition. •...
