The Belimo EV050+ARX-E N4HT is a 2-way 1/2" pressure independent characterized control valve (PI-CCV) with integrated thermal energy metering, rated 6.6 GPM nominal flow, driven by a non fail-safe ARX-E actuator in a NEMA 4 enclosure with a thermostat-controlled internal heater. It combines a characterized control valve, an ultrasonic flow sensor, supply and return temperature sensors and a communicating actuator in one assembly, so a single device controls flow, measures delivered energy and reports coil performance over BACnet, Modbus or MP-Bus.

Common Applications
- Terminal units - fan coils, chilled beams and chilled ceilings, and two-pipe changeover terminals where heating and cooling setpoints are switched over the bus
- Small chilled-water or hot-water coils
- Branch and riser flow verification on small distribution
- Applications requiring measured delivered energy, not just valve position
- Low Delta T remediation, where coil performance must be proven rather than assumed
- Wet, washdown or high-humidity mechanical rooms requiring a NEMA 4 rated enclosure
- Cold locations where an enclosure heater must engage on temperature
These are documented Belimo Energy Valve application families, not a manufacturer recommendation for this specific model. This valve is an EV4-generation product, on which design flow (V'max) is adjustable across 25-100% of its 6.6 GPM nominal flow, giving a selectable range of 1.65 to 6.6 GPM. Any application below is suitable only where the required design flow falls inside that range.

Key Features
Measures delivered energy
An ultrasonic flow sensor plus supply and return temperature sensors compute actual thermal energy through the coil, so the valve reports BTU delivered rather than inferred position.
Pressure independent control
The characterized control valve holds the commanded flow across the stated differential pressure range, so balancing valves and repeat commissioning are not required.
Manages Delta T
Belimo Delta T Manager logic limits flow when the coil is not producing useful temperature difference, addressing Low Delta T Syndrome and reducing pumping energy.
Native BACnet, Modbus and MP-Bus
Communication is integral to the actuator: BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and MP-Bus are supported directly, with no separate protocol gateway.
NEMA 4 with thermostat-controlled internal heater
The enclosure carries a NEMA 4 rating and an internal heater, cycled on measured temperature to keep the housing above the condensation point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nominal flow rate of the Belimo EV050+ARX-E N4HT?
The EV050+ARX-E N4HT is rated 6.6 GPM nominal flow (V′nom) at a valve size of 1/2".
Does the Belimo EV050+ARX-E N4HT support BACnet natively?
Yes. BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP are integral to the actuator, alongside Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and MP-Bus. No external protocol gateway is required.
What enclosure rating does the Belimo EV050+ARX-E N4HT carry?
NEMA 4 / UL Enclosure Type 4. Belimo does not publish an IEC/EN IP rating for this model.
What is the difference between the N4HT and N4HH versions?
The N4HT version cycles its internal heater on enclosure temperature. Both carry the same NEMA 4 rating; the difference is what triggers the heater.
Is the Belimo EV050+ARX-E N4HT fail-safe?
No. This model uses a non fail-safe actuator and holds its last position on loss of supply power. Specify a fail-safe actuator variant if the circuit must drive to a defined position.
Why might the EV050+ARX-E N4HT arrive with a gray actuator cover?
Belimo has advised that a supplier issue means some NEMA 4 actuator covers ship in gray rather than orange until further notice. Protective properties and product specifications are unchanged.
