How the system works
The ACT–4 wireless potable hot water recirculation kit features a factory paired
pump and mixing valve that wirelessly communicate temperature data and
operational status between each other. The ACT–4 wireless pump with built-in
timer is installed on the supply side of the hot water source, as presented below.
The paired mixing valve is installed under the sink farthest from the hot water
source. A temperature sensor within the valve detects the water temperature
and wirelessly transmits this data to the pump.
The desired water temperature at the mixing valve is set remotely with the
thermostat dial on the pump. When the water temperature sensed at the valve
is below the desired setting, a signal is sent to the ACT–4 wireless pump to
begin circulating hot water throughout the system. The mixing feature of the
valve tempers the cold water at the faucet or tap, providing instant hot water at
this location and so satisfying the need for hot water at all upstream water
outlets. When the temperature requirement at the valve has been satisfied, a
signal is sent to turn off the pump. This system prevents continuous running and
saves energy.
For more energy savings, the ACT–4 wireless pump can be set for Timer
Operation to run only during the time periods when hot water is most frequently
required.
An optional push-button / signal repeater device is available to provide instant
hot water with a touch of a button. Pressing the push-button will activate the
pump and begin circulating hot water throughout the system, outside of the set
Timer Operation, until the desired temperature is met at the valve. Acting in its
secondary function as a signal repeater, this device will also extend the
operational range of the pump and valve and aid in the transmission of data
between the two devices where necessary.
The instant hot water delivery with the ACT–4 wireless potable hot water
recirculation kit saves water and time, while improving comfort, as water does
not need to run continuously while waiting for it to warm up.

Commissioning, Startup, Operation, and Shutdown
Commissioning, Startup,
Operation, and Shutdown
Thermostat controlled operation
The valve and pump are ready to communicate with each other out of the box.
The pump comes with an adjustable temperature feature. This feature is
controlled by the thermostat dial just above the timer housing on the body of
the pump and may be set to activate between 86°F (30°C) and 95°F (35°C). This
temperature range represents the desired water temperature to be sensed at
the remotely set under-sink mixing valve.
• Slide the switch on the timer housing to the “ON” position.
In the “ON” position, the pump runs automatically whenever the built-in
temperature sensor in the valve senses the need for hot water at the under-sink
valve. In the “OFF” position, the pump does not operate at any time. In either
instance, the LED light on the thermostat knob will remain steady.
The pump will most likely start running immediately and turn off after a few
minutes when hot water reaches the faucet/tap. The pump continues cycling on
and off as required during the programmed sequence of operation. (Do not be
concerned if the pump does not begin to run immediately after the pump is
plugged in, or at times throughout normal operation. This just means that there
is already hot water at the hot water faucet/tap. The pump turns on
automatically when the hot water line cools down.)

two (2) seconds.
Slide the switch to the “ON” position and wait two (2) seconds.
Slide the switch to the “OFF” position and wait two (2) seconds.
Return the switch to the “ON” position. A series of rapid flashes from
the LED light in the thermostat knob of the pump will indicate that it
has entered pairing mode. The pump will remain in pairing mode for
ten (10) minutes.
2.
Power up the push-button / signal repeater device to be paired by
plugging it directly into a nearby outlet. While plugging the push-button
device into the outlet, depress and hold the push-button. Keep the pushbutton depressed for five (5) additional seconds. Pairing mode on the
push-button / signal repeater is also indicated by a rapid series of flashes
from its own LED light and will remain in pairing mode until it
communicates and pairs with the pump.
3.
Upon successful pairing, the LED light in the thermostat knob of the pump
will produce a steady glow, indicating that the pump is running or is on
stand-by. The LED light in the push-button device will produce a seldom
flash when the system is on stand-by or a steady glow when the pump is
running.
The push-button is now ready for service. Once the push-button / signal
repeater has been paired with the pump, it can be relocated to the desired
outlet without having to be re-paired.
The pump is capable of pairing with only two devices: the valve and the
optional push-button / signal repeater.
Signal Repeater Operation
When used as a signal repeater, the device will extend the operational range of
the ACT4 wireless hot water recirculation kit beyond the normally specified
distance. Device pairing is not required when used as a signal repeater. It will
aid in the transmission of data between the pump and valve in environments
where building construction or other factors may interfere with ongoing
communication.
When used as a signal repeater, the device should be installed at an outlet at an
intermediate location between the pump and valve.

5.
Wait two (2) seconds and return the switch to the “ON” position.
When the device is successfully paired, the LED in the thermostat knob is lit. The
pump is now ready for service.
Replace the batteries
The system is designed to provide effective communication between the pump
and valve for approximately two (2) years after system start-up or battery
replacement when using two (2) 1.5 V LR06 alkaline batteries. When using
rechargeable batteries, it is recommended that they have a minimum 2500 mAh
capacity.
Do not mix new and old batteries or other makes of batteries, such as alkaline
with lithium-ion. The different attributes can negatively affect the system
performance or cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat, or explode.
When new batteries are inserted into the valve, the valve will resume
communication with the pump.
