TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Pre-setting manual balancing valves CIM 788

Description
Cim 788 balancing valves are suitable for both heating (LPWH) and cooling

applications, ensuring high accuracy flow balancing across all valve settings. tutto il campo di regolazione della valvola.

Cim 788 pre-setting balancing valve is made of ADZ brass material with femalefemale threads according to ISO 7 and it is suitable for both heating and cooling

applications at working pressures up to 25 bar, within the temperature range of Fig 1

10C and +120C.

The main features of CIM 788 pre-setting balancing valve are as follows:

Screw driver adjustable pre-setting. 11 positions flow pre-setting. Plastic cap enabling the valve to be closed and opened at pre-set Kv value. An EPDM lined valve plug providing tight shut-off for isolation purposes.. Designed to be upgraded with thermoelectric actuator (Cim 788NC, Cim 788NO, Cim 788NC24, Cim 788NO24, Cim 788PRO).

Installation procedure
Before installation of CIM 788, check that inside the valve and the pipes there are no foreign matters which might damage the tightness of the valve. When installing the valve, please make sure to have a pipe length 5 times the DN upstream the valve and 2 times the DN downstream, and pay attention to the arrow direction casted on the valve body, which shall be the same as the flow one. The valve can be installed in any position if fluid is clean; if this is not the case, avoid upside down installation. Burr pipe connections after having threaded them and distribute the sealing material on pipe threads only and not on valve threads. The sealing material quantity shall be according to the dimension of parts to be coupled. An excessive quantity of sealing material could submit the threaded ends to extreme stress and/or fall inside the valve and cause problem to the flow. For assembly purposes, use a spanner, not a pipe wrench, by applying necessary working torque only on the valve end nearest the pipe. This helps get a firmer grip and avoids potential damages to valve body. Make sure that pipe threading length is not longer than valve threads.

Regulating
Remove the blue plastic cap of the upper part of the bonnet to pre-set the flow rate. Looking at the data shown in the herewith attached diagrams, regulate the flow by rotating the hexagonal stem-ring with a screwdriver inserted in the relevant slot. When regulating is carried out, the slot position will show the opening grade of the obturator. The index scale shows 11 values going from the minimum flow rate (0) to the maximum one (10). The reading of this flow rate can be done by using the differential manometer Cim 726. This interfaces with the balancing valve through two sensors placed at the ends of the valve. To protect the bonnet, replace the cap and leave it unloosed to enable the water flow. On the other hand, if the interception of the fluid is required, tight the cap firmly and completely.

Maintenance
As a rule, the balancing valve does not need any maintenance. disassembling of some components of the valve, make sure that the installation is not under service or pressure. Should you need to replace the tightening OR (13) between body (1) and bonnet (2), follow the instructions given here below: Remove the blue cap (19); Take note of the pre-setting position on a sheet of paper; Unscrew the bonnet (2) with a key, acting on the hexagonal side; Replace the Oring (19); Screw the bonnet (2) again until the complete tightening on the valve body (1), acting on the hexagonal side; Fig 3 In case of replacement or need of

Make sure that the index scale (14) has not been rotated during bonnet removal. To this purpose, rotate clockwise the hexagonal stem-ring (4) with a screwdriver until the stop. In this position the slot of the stem-ring shall be aligned with the 0 value of the index scale (14). If not, remove the index scale (14) with the screwdriver and replace it aligned as described above.

Place the stem-ring (4) as made during the previous regulation; Replace the blue cap (19) and leave it unloosed to enable the water flow.

Spare parts
Cim 788 pre-setting balancing valve are designed to be upgraded with different type of thermoelectric actuators to open and close the valve on heating circuit distributors on floor heating systems. The actuator is able to keep the valve closed until a maximum differential pressure of 2,2 bar. The following versions are available: Cim 788NC normally closed (actuator only Cim EMV 310/NC230) Cim 788NO normally open (actuator only Cim EMV 310/NO230) Cim 788NC24 normally closed (actuator only Cim EMV 310/NC24) Cim 788NO24 normally open (actuator only Cim EMV 310/NO24) 230V-50/60Hz 230V-50/60Hz 24V-50/60Hz 24V-50/60Hz

The thermoelectric actuator assembling on the valve is made with a plastic adaptor, screwed on the bonnet, that enables the actuator assembling by snap-on device. The technical features of these thermoelectric actuators are the following: Fig 5 Operating power: Degree/Class of protection: positions) Actuator stroke: Actuating force: Connecting cable: Cable length: Connection: 1,8 W IP54/II (in all installation

Cim 788PRO (actuator only Cim EMV 310/PRO24) is the version with thermoelectric actuator normally closed with internal electronic unit for proportional control of valves used in building management systems. The technical features of proportional thermoelectric actuators are the following: 24 V, -10% fino a +20%, 50/60Hz 0-10 V DC 100 kOhm 1,8 W IP54 4,5 mm 100 N 5% <250 mA for 2 min. max 30 s/mm 3x0,22 mm2 1000 mm valve adapter VA50
