1.0 DESIGN 1.2 TECHNICAL DATA Standard Equipment � The standard configuration of the SysteMate 2000 is shown opposite. The Appliance Control Board (A.C.B.), mounted inside the appliance, controls the operation of the complete system. The A.C.B. is pre-wired to a terminal strip where all electrical connections terminate.
1.0 DESIGN 1.3 SYSTEM DETAILS Hot and Cold Water System General A schematic layout of the hot and cold water services in a typical small dwelling is shown below. SysteMate 2000 will operate at mains pressures as low as 1 bar and as high as 5 bar although the recommended range is 2-3 bar.

APPENDIX B MANIFOLDS Two sets of manifolds are available as an optional extra. Each set comprises a separate hot and cold water manifold. Both are provided with a 22mm inlet connection located centrally. All t t i t i l outlet connections are 15mm compression.
Page 36
APPENDIX B The pressure loss through a flow regulator at the designated flow rate is about 1.8 bar. Therefore for the flow regulator to control the flow rate at pre-set level,the inlet pressure must be greater than 1.8 bar. If the inlet pressure is lower, the flow rate will be correspondingly less than the pre-set values.
Page 37
APPENDIX B The size of the distribution pipes supplying the manifold should be calculated using the method set out in BS 6700. A typical diagrammatic arrangement of a system using Manifold Type 1 is shown below. This is only meant to show the principles involved and the actual connection of fittings to the manifold will need to suit the arrangements shown in page 35.
