4. Commissioning We recommend that you use the service and support of a Spirax Sarco commissioning engineer. Details of this service can be found by contacting Spirax Sarco. Note: Pre commissioning requirements: In most new installations, dirt collects in the steam pipeline during construction of the system.

Open the secondary (cold side) isolating valves downstream of the Spirax EasiHeat™. Start the main secondary water circulating pump(s) if fitted. Check and confirm there is secondary water circulation through the Spirax EasiHeat™. If the circulation is okay, switch on the main power to the control panel (local isolator). Turn the control panel isolation switch to 'ON'.
