GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines SYSTEMS COVERED Your ENVIREAU system comprises of two separate consignments 1) The External Works (Ground-Works) Package – This consignment (perhaps delivered separately) contains the Rain Water Holding Tank and Rainwater Filter. The installation of these items is covered under separate installation instructions which are delivered with both the Tank and the Filter.
GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines NON-STANDARD SYSTEMS Finally, please note there are also available a number of non-standard systems. You should have consulted with ENVIREAU and be fully familiar with your own requirements, particularly regarding EXTRA items of equipment.
GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS General and for all three types of installed system: 1. The Holding tank requires the installation of a duct, of minimum diameter 40mm to carry the pump cable and the Depth Sensor cable.
GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines NO-MAINS SYSTEM INSTALLATION Please refer to the NO-MAINS SYSTEM Guide Sheet (at end of this section) throughout these instructions. Dispose of the instructions for other systems. As you are installing a NO-MAINS system it is assumed that you have no MAINS WATER SUPPLY available, or you do not wish to use MAINS water in this scheme.

GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines Although the system can run from a 13 Amp switched socket outlet, this is not advised. In all instances a separate RCD MUST be in circuit. The system draws approximately 4 amps at 240 volts AC. Whatever cable is run to the local switch arrangement, the maximum cable size to enter the CONTROL UNIT should be 1.5mm flexible TRS.
Page 11
GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines NOTE. If you have extended the pump cables and have used oversized, armoured or solid conductors to achieve this you must convert to the previously specified cable size using a joint box before entering the control unit.

GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines 15) You have now completed the installation of your NO-MAINS system. Before proceeding to the final stage, Set-up and Commissioning, you should check the following. a) Are all pipework joints secure? b) Have you taken precautions to quickly isolate the electrical supply to the system? c) Is the storage tank full (or at least half-full) of clean water, free from installation detritus? d) Are you aware of the location of all items of equipment, particularly the DISPLAY unit?

GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines GRAVITY (HEADER TANK) SYSTEM INSTALLATION Please refer to the GRAVITY SYSTEM Guide Sheet (at the end of this section) throughout these instructions. Dispose of the instructions for other systems. As you are installing a GRAVITY system it is assumed that you have MAINS WATER SUPPLY available and you wish to use MAINS water in this scheme by the installation of a header tank.

GL0052-03 – Envireau Mono-Tech Rainwater – Installation & Operation Guidelines To install the sensor, uncoil the cable fully and straighten on the ground surface. You are NOT advised to cut the cable to length at this stage. It is important that this cable is not unduly stretched so lubricate if necessary.
