Weymouth Series Pressurisation Units Installation, Commissioning and Servicing Instructions Weymouth Standard & Advanced Models NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE INSTALLING, COMMISSIONING, OPERATING OR SERVICING EQUIPMENT. THE WEYMOUTH PRESSURISATION UNITS ARE INTENDED FOR USE ONLY IN COMMERCIAL/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.
1.0 INTRODUCTION The pressurisation units in the Hamworthy Weymouth range are designed to maintain the minimum pressure requirement of modern low/medium temperature, hot water sealed systems. The pressurisation units also provide replacement water for losses from the systems. Note! The pressurisation unit is not to be used for the initial filling of the system.

3. Diaphragm position at high system pressure. The boiler system is shut down by the system pressure switch on Advanced Unit. 4. Diaphragm at the safety valve lift pressure. Caused by boiler temperature limiter failure for example. Acceptance factor = 0.5 maximum (recommended). HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
BS 6759 Part 1 (ISO 4126): Specification for safety valves for steam and hot water. BS 3456 (CEE10 Part 1, CEE11 Part 1): Safety of Household and similar electrical appliances. HSE Guidance note PM5: Automatically controlled steam and hot water boilers. HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
5.3.1, otherwise if in any doubt contact Hamworthy Heating Limited for comprehensive system sizing information. Hamworthy Heating Ltd supply a range of suitable expansion vessels details are shown below. A calculation sheet which can be used to determine a suitable volume for an expansion vessel can be found in the Appendix.
The antigravity loop must not be lagged but can be fitted with an optional kit to prevent freezing. Consult Hamworthy Heating for details. The pipe-work and fittings must be pressure tested to 1.5 times the safety valve lift pressure.
The circuits are rated at 230 V ~50 Hz, 15A. NOTE if the factory set pressure switch levels are to be altered terminal should not be connected at this stage. The connection terminal and its location is shown in fig 10. Figure 10 Advanced Alarm Terminal HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
Check the integrity of the pipe-work. Ensure the lock-shield valve between the Weymouth unit and the expansion vessel is open and the drain valve is closed. Ensure the air purge plug is fitted (near the top of the expansion vessel). HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
2 as are the Hi and Lo pressure switches. If these levels are unsuitable for the installation then adjustment instructions are given in section 7.3. 7) Set the float to its lowest level. (fig 14) Figure 14a. Float Adjustment Standard Figure 14b. Float Adjustment Advanced HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
3.4 bar then the switch will operate when the pressure rises to 3.4 bar causing the pump to stop. The switch will not change over & start the pump until the pressure has fallen back to 3.0 bar. HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH...
4) The terminals at either end of the switch form an open circuit. Adjust the until the circuit is closed. A meter across the terminals will signal a change. If needed figure 25 shows the wire colours of the switches. HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
8.0 FAULT FINDING General fault finding is shown in Figure 18. If the Weymouth unit still does not operate satisfactorily, consult Hamworthy Heating for assistance. Figure 18. Fault Finding Guide. Fault Possible Causes Action Pump will not run Unit up to pressure...
Inspect the internal surface of the vessel for corrosion. Significant corrosion can lead to failure of the vessel; replacement of the entire vessel should be considered. If necessary replace the diaphragm as described in section 10.9. HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
The cover on the Standard unit is secured by one screw at the lower edge of the front panel and one screw on the top panel. The cover on the Advanced unit is secured by one screw at the lower edge of the front panel only. 10.1 Hamworthy Heating Recommended Spares Standard Spares...
On the standard unit there is a black spacer which fits between the tank and the chassis. This must be refitted when a new assembly is installed. Once fitted the float adjustment should be set to the lowest level (se section 7.5) HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
Undo the capillary nut holding the end into the pipe (see fig 26). Depress the tags on the opposite sides of the gauge body and push through the panel (see fig 28) Figure 28 Pressure Gauge HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
Push the valve out from the brass fitting (see fig 30). 10.9 System Expansion Vessel Diaphragm (Part n° dependant on model and serial n°. Consult Hamworthy Heating for details) Turn off the boiler and electrically isolate the unit. Close the system isolating valve and isolate the mains water supply to the header tank.
