How to install Emix tank Emix works only with an iSeries outdoor unit system; it is commonly connected to the proper EMX port but could be connected also to a normal port like G30 that has an adapter from 3/8” to 1/4” for the liquid return flare. Anyway in emergency conditions, you can use Emix tank as electrical water heater without the iSeries heat pump. As first step you have to remove the bottom cover simply by your hand; it is not fixed by screw and you have only to pickup it by the basement.

On the bottom part you will see also other two pipes; they are the refrigerant circuit between the outdoor unit and the tank. There is a label near to the pipes; it is reported below: R410A 3/8” IN is the pipe from the outdoor unit R410A 3/8” OUT is the pipe to the outdoor unit Pay the max attention to respect the sense of that connections, both if you are using Emix tank connected to the EMX port or the standard port of the outdoor unit Here below the water connection and mixing valve; please provide an expansion tank (18 lt or more), water filter before the cold water connection in order to save the quality of components and connect the security valve to a...

And now follow the next steps with max care: • Close the valves on the EMX port of outdoor unit (G42, G50, G65, G80, G110). • Disconnect the bypass from the valves on the EMX port (take care of it because you will need it in case of dismount of Emix tank unit). • Connect the copper pipes between outdoor unit and Emix tank for (G42, G50, G65, G80, G110). (warmly suggested a strong insulation in order to avoid loses of precious energy). • Perform the vacuum procedure. • Open the valves of EMX port. • Connect the water to the tank (It is recommended to install an expansion tank of 18 lt, service valves on the connections of the water circuit in order to make installation and maintenance operations easier and a pipe on the high pressure safety output of the security valve).

Choose the configuration by the number of indoor units (excluding Emix tank unit) and by the outdoor unit model. • Check connection limits including Emix tank unit distance • Additional refrigerant charge for Emix tank line ( if needed) is : 15 g/m Lenght and elevation limits for Emix tank unit are the same as those of standard indoor units.
Electrical connections Emix tank must always be connected to the electrical power supply in a separate manner compared to the connection of the outdoor unit of the iSeries system. General • The acceptable voltage variation is: ± 10% during operation. • The electrical connection conduits must be fixed. • Class 1 unit. Power supply • The power supply must come from an isolation and electric protection device (not supplied) in accordance with existing regulations. • The installation must be protected by a double-pole circuit-breaker (not included). Remove the front panel by the same approach of the base part. There are no screew to be removed and no wire to be disconnected.

Now you can see the connection block as below: (OPTIONAL) ON/OFF If you are connecting the Emix tank by single phase power supply, you will have to connect the phase line to L1. Close L1-L2 and L2-L3 with connection cables. Connect the communication shielded pair cable (18 AWG) to the connection block C1 (5) and C2 (6) and the shield to the communication ground connection; take care about polarity between outdoor unit and Emix; in case of mistake you will see a communication error indication (all the LED flashing).

Emix Tank Wirings G30 outdoor unit: connect Emix bus to C1 C2 on outdoor unit (as a standard indoor unit) G42 - G50 – G65 outdoor units: connect Emix bus in parallel to C1 C2 on outdoor unit. There is no speficic bus con- nection for Emix unit.

Electric back up management – Booster mode By pressing operation button until the blue led is blinking, end users can activate the booster mode. In this case the software will manage the electric heaters under certain conditions. If after 120’ from the start up of the system (time counter does not start when the automatic mode is set but when the heat pump is switched on), water set point is not reached, the first electrical element will be activated automatically.

Emix tank connection-Only DHW application Emix unit can be used with Iseries outdoor units in a specific configuration in order to create an heat pump system only for DHW production. Only DHW application: G30 + Emix tank Connect Emix tank unit to refrigerant port on the outdoor unit (there is no Emix port) using 1/4 ->3/8 adapter provided with outdoor unit.
in case of need, the electrical elements could be managed by the end user exactly as any electrical water heater; in this case follow the below procedure: Open the screws of Set the thermostat to 65°C Turn the main switch to temperature limiter’s lid R-position How to use Emix Tank in electric boiler mode First of all you have to switch on the unit by the main switch A = automatic mode of operation to be used normally when the Emix tank is connected to the iSeries 0 = off mode...
How to disconnect and/or remove Emix tank unit In case of Emix tank is connected to a normal indoor unit port, as common use of Emix with G30, the unit must be disconnected exactly as any other air indoor unit, like hi-wall, flow ceiling, etc. In case of Emix tank is connected to the EMX port and by any reason it has to be disconnected and replaced, the in- staller has to do this procedure using a refrigerant recovery unit: - close the valves of EMX port;...
