Installation PACKAGE CONTENTS The appliances are delivered assembled, tested and packed. At product reception and after removal of pack- aging, check the package contents and that the appliance is free of damages. Contents packaging : • A domestic hot water tank. •...
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 •...

The upper hot water layer may then reach very high temperatures. • ACV recommends using a pre-set thermostatic mixing valve in order to provide hot water at a maximum of 60°C. • Water heated to wash clothes, dishes and for other uses can cause serious burns.
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 tted in accordance with the requirements and guidance notes of Building Regulation G3.
Page 17
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 18
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.
Page 19
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.

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.

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 •...
Maintenance 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 cooled down sufficiently. Close the filling valve (1) and the stop valve (4). Connect the drain valve (2) to the sewer using a flexible hose.
Maintenance TROUBLESHOOTING What to do if the domestic hot water is not heated anymore? Check the power supply, when the tank operates as electric DHW tank only (electrical resistance activated). Check the proper operation of the boiler and the control thermostat of the tank. Check if the charging pump works properly and replace if necessary Check the safety thermostat on the tank and/or the...
