The ACS 40 E is an instant domestic hot water mixer. It uses a brazed, stainless steel plate heat exchanger and is desi-
gned for use in combination with DHW storage cylinders.
The product is equipped with two filling/drain cocks. When the shut-off valves are closed, these can also be used to flush
out the heat exchanger.
A domestic hot water recirculation kit is available for further convenience.
The ACS 40 E instant hot water mixer comes complete with an insulated frame.

  • Page 11: Putting Into Service

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The following instructions are mandatory. 1 Use a multi-pole, magnetic thermal, earth leakage breaker and disconnector that conforms to legislation in the count- ry of installation. 2 Respect the L (Phase) - N (Neutral) polarity. Keep the ground wire about 2 cm longer than the power wires. 3 Make sure the product is correctly connected to ground.
  • Page 12: Flushing The Heat Exchanger

    FLUSHING THE HEAT EXCHANGER - Shut off the DHW flow by closing the ball valves (1a) and (1b) for the cold water inlet and hot water outlet respectively. - Attach the flushing fluid supply to the cold water inlet valve (2b). - Attach the flushing fluid drain to the DHW outlet valve (2a).
  • Page 13: About The Controller

    - The manufacturer’s name plate and other factory marks applied to the controller must not be altered, removed or made illegible. - Only the settings described in these instructions are able to guarantee the correct operation of the controller. ABOUT THE CONTROLLER The MFWC controller enables efficient use and operational control of the mixer system.
  • Page 14: Terminal Connection Diagram

    TERMINAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM Relay connections will vary depending on what additional functions are selected. The polarity of the temperature sensors is irrelevant. The common wire should be connected to the bottom (-) terminal strip. Vortex flow sensors must be connected to the socket on the control panel. Sensor 2 / cold water: if no sensor is connected, a default temperature of 10 °C is set.
