The required flow rate is set into the ModuSat TP and the flow meter continually monitors it and adjusts the energy shut off valve by modulation to ensure the unit always has the required flow rate.
1.4 Regulation and monitoring system Each ModuSat TP is provided with a regulation system that allows the user to set the desired room comfort, the DHW supply temperature and to read heating and water consumptions. The regulation system is suitable for both, radiators or floor heating, and has been developed to permit the remote consumption download and monitoring, alarms and diagnostic.

The manufacturer has the right to make any change to the products without preventive notice. Compliance EVINOX declares that all ModuSat TP units comply with European Standards 73/23/CE and 93/68/CE for low voltage electric safety, it also declares that they meet the European Standards 89/336/CE for electromagnetic compatibility.
Disconnect the electric supply before starting any work on a ModuSat TP. 1.8 Legislation All ModuSat TP models intrinsically comply with the current legislation governing the use of these products including heat control and energy metering. Each user has no obligations to maintain the units.
The ModuSat TP does not require any balancing device as the required flow rate is set into the ModuSat TP that modulates the shut-off valves to control the set primary water flow rate. All hydraulic connections are ¾”...

2.4.8 Electronic control This is a custom designed electronic controller for heat/cooling management units. It includes all the measurement and control circuits to drive pumps, valves and other devices used in such applications. It has also three communication channels to connect it to slave devices as well as to a main communication bus used to collect data from the modules.
2.5 Control specification All Evinox satellites are equipped with a regulation system for heating and DHW production control. The regulation strategy foresees different applications: radiators, fancoils, underfloor heating, and can be configured to meet the needs of different applications. 2.5.1 Heating When the room temperature Ta drops below the set point Ts: ...
2.6 Pressure loss and head The following diagrams show the primary circuit pressure loss according to the ModuSat TP equipping and the pressure head available to the apartment circuit. Prim ary circuit pressure loss 1000 Flow rate l/h Heating Head feature...

In the same way as the rising mains the horizontal distribution network to the ModuSat TP units will be insulated perfectly up to the satellite. The length of the horizontal distribution pipework should be limited to the minimum while placing the rising mains as near as possible to the satellites.
PHE in the ModuSat TP. The total pressure loss is 1,5 m at 1000 litres per hour. In order to guarantee the hydraulic independence of the boilers and of the installation, a mixing header is installed between the boilers and the primary distribution system.

In order to reduce the energy consumption, the primary circuit will have to be perfectly isolated and its temperature could be lowered to 70°C, for the summer period. The water flow feeding each ModuSat cannot be lower than 800 l/h in order to satisfy the needs for a bathroom.
During this process, it’s forbidden to use any chemical or other products not approved by EVINOX. The non observance of this rule invalidated the warranty. Make sure the environment where the ModuSat TP is to be installed complies with governing rules and laws.
3.3 Hydraulic connections The ModuSat TP is designed to be wall mounted with the primary circuit and domestic water hydraulic connections as shown here below. In order to ease the installation and maintenance of the unit, it is recommended to follow the instructions about minimum spacing.
3.4 Pre-installation rig A pre-installation rig is available on request. It consists of a frame constructed in steel with the upper and lower connections for the correct positioning of piping entering and leaving the unit.
Often water treatment is considered an unnecessary cost, not considering the amount of damage that can result from this choice. The warranty of the ModuSat TP is strictly related to the absolute respect of the instructions and procedures indicated in this manual The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by scale and corrosion due to...
Ensure there are no air pockets in the system Remove gas permeable parts and materials Ensure the expansion vessels are properly sized and the pre-charge pressure value in order to guarantee positive pressure values, with respect to the ambient pressure, throughout the circuits Use suitable chemicals (BIONIBAL- BIONIBAGEL) compatible with the materials used and that can PREVENT CORROSION...
To guarantee the ModuSat TP, Evinox insists that only its own heating system water conditioning products are used: - BIONIBAL corrosion inhibitor - BIONIBAGEL antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor. IMPORTANT WARNING: Bionibal or Bionibagel must only be put in a clean installation that has been checked. It is therefore imperative to fill the entire system one or more times with clean water as required.
5 ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS MODUSAT TP requires a 230/240V mains connection. Before attempting any installation, repair or maintenance work remove the electric supply line, possibly with an external switch. Follow the instructions below to connect the electric power supply to the unit: cover pipes and cables in order not to damage them ...
The cable must not be installed adjacent to other 230 Volt lines. The ModuSat room controller’s power is supplied by the ModuSat board and does not require batteries. For Room Controller wiring please refer to the following instructions. Room...
check the correct operation of the safety thermostat (when present) Note: Our technical personnel, who will visit when the ModuSat TP has been installed to arrange for its final commissioning and calibration, do not perform the role of inspector and/or approval officer for the system.

Note the total measured energy at the moment it starts. Check that the meter does not present errors. Pump Release Before powering the ModuSat TP, check that the pump rotor is not jammed (this can occur after a period of inactivity). Act as follows to release it: Isolate the electricity to the pump before draining it.
2 years for parts and labour * However, the ModuSat TP warranty will always start from the date of the serial number and will be extended by a maximum of 6 months to allow for project completion. If the ModuSat TP is commissioned before the 6 month extensions the warranty will start from the commissioning date.

Replacement parts are chargeable until passed as faulty by Evinox, when a credit will be provided. Any parts that have failed as a result of poor servicing or misuse will not be covered by our warranty.
This is because the unit is permanently supplied, even when the external thermostat is off. The ModuSat TP is provided on the front panel with a Manual/Automatic push button: in manual mode the DHW valve is completely opened thus allowing DHW production.
