The Macon Model ZMC-DDC Proportional is a thermoelectric actuator for the discrete control of heating and cooling systems in direct proportion to the applied control voltage. The control of the actuators is performed by a 0-10 V DC signal via a central DDC system or by a room thermostat. Principal area of application is the building management systems range.
The actuator mechanism of the Macon ZMC-DDC uses a PTC resistor-heated elastic element and a compression spring. The elastic element is heated by applying the operating voltage and moves the integrated plunger. The force generated by this movement is transferred to the plunger, thus opening or closing the valve.
