Installation SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General remarks • Connections (electrical, hydraulic) must be carried out in accordance with applicable standards and regulations. • If the water drawing off point is far from the tank, installing an auxiliary DHW loop can allow to get hot water more quickly at all times. Essential instructions for the correct operation of the system •...

Installation G3 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE Discharge pipe from safety valves The Building Regulation G3 requires that any discharge from an unvented system is con- veyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and discharge pipes should be fi...
Page 21
Installation 3.55 Any discharge should be visible at the tundish. In addition, where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent, e.g. in dwellings occupied by people with impai- red vision or mobility, consideration should be given to the installation of a suitable safety device to warn when discharge takes place, e.g.
Page 22
Installation cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility; (d) discharges at high level: e.g. into a metal hopper and metal downpipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastic guttering system that would temperature relief valve to tundish collect such discharges.

Installation Worked example of discharge pipe sizing Figure on the left shows a G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge. From Table: Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief valve is 9.0m.

Installation SLEW TANK USED AS ELECTRIC DHW TANK ONLY Do not power the heating element if the oustide tank is not filled and bled. System filling valve Safety valve calibrated to 3 bar Expansion vessel Isolation valve, heating system This connection Pressure gauge to be plugged.
Starting Up SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO FILL THE TANK Essential instructions for the safety of persons and the environment • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. • Do not use vehicle antifreeze. This can cause serious injury or death, or damage facilities.
Starting Up FILLING Essential instruction for the correct operation of the system • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. FILLING THE DHW TANK (Figure 1) General remark • Connect the safety valve outlet to the sewer. To fill the tank, open a hot water tap (2) located at the highest point of the system.
Page 30
Starting Up Vertical installation on a wall FILLING THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT (Figure 2) General remark • If the tank is used within a heating system, refer to the heating boiler manual. Check that the drain valve (3) of your primary circuit is tightly closed. Open the stop valves (1) and (2) of the primary circuit connected to the heating boiler.
Starting Up CHECKS BEFORE STARTING UP • Check that the safety valves (DHW and primary) are correctly installed and that the out- lets are connected to the sewer. • Check that the DHW tank and the primary circuit are filled with water. •...
Maintenance PERIODIC CHECKS BY THE USER • Check the pressure of the primary circuit pressure gauge: it should be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar. • Visually inspect, on a regular basis, the valves, connections and accessories in order to detect any leaks or malfunction. •...
Maintenance DRAINING Essential instruction for the safety of persons and the environment • The water coming out of the drain valve is very hot and can cause very severe burns. Make sure the area around the hot water flow is clear of people. Essential instruction for the electrical safety •...
Connect the drain valve (2) to the sewer using a flexible hose. Open the drain valve (2) and drain the water from the primary circuit to the drain. Open the tank’s air bleed valve (3) to accelerate drainage. Maintenance Close the drain valve (2) and air bleed valve (3) after draining the tank. DRAINING THE DHW TANK (Figure 4) To drain the hot water heater’s DHW tank: Open fully the hot water tap (3) for at least 60 minutes to make sure the DHW tank has...
Maintenance REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENT (SLEW TANK) • Switch off and disconnect the mains power supply to the appliance. • Be careful with the high temperature of the cylinder. • Drain the primary tank. = 5,5 Nm = 4,8 Nm Smart SL-SLEW: A1007850 - 661Y1700 •...
Maintenance FAULT FINDING What to do if the DHW-water is not heated anymore? SLEW Check the power supply. Check the proper operation of the boiler and the control thermostat of the tank. Check if the charging pump works properly replace if necessary. Check the fuse and replace if necessary.
