Page 5: Important Facts - Read Before Commencing Installation
1 IMPORTANT FACTS: READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION A Water storage capacity. 1.11 The Matrix Midi has a usable water volume of approximately 8 litres; the length of time the Matrix Midi takes to pressurise a system will be dependent on:- The pressure differential between the cold fill and set pressures and also the refill rate of the tank 1.12 Ensure the pumps are primed as described in the priming section before starting, to...
Page 6: Location
2 LOCATION - GENERAL 2.11 Location: The preferred Matrix Midi location is either on a solid wall or on a smooth level floor, both of sufficient strength to support the filled weight of the Matrix Midi, close to the water source and a suitable overflow position (see Section 9 - Technical Specification for filled weight).
Page 7 However, care must be taken when mounting the Matrix Midi that any noise is not amplified through loose panels or pipework. 2.21 Flexible hose: Only use the Altecnic Ltd hoses supplied with the Matrix Midi. 2.22 Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non-restrictive) must be fitted to allow easy service of the Matrix Midi.
Page 8: Key Features
3 KEY FEATURES 3.11 The Matrix Midi comprises of the following main components:- 1. Moulded tank – Main body of the Matrix Midi, comprising of an integrated water tank with warning pipe and weir overflow and mounting the brass pump assembly, manifold and controller.
Page 9: Installation
4 INSTALLATION 4.11 Fill valve flow restrictor guidelines: The side entry fill valve must be fitted with the correct filter and flow restrictor combination (dependant on the mains water pressure) into the G ½ threaded tail as outlined below: Coloured insert - To be used for water pressure between 1 and 4 bar White insert - To be used for water pressure above 4 bar Fig.
Page 10 4.13 Wall plate fixing: 1. If installing the Matrix Midi on a wall ensure suitable fixings for the wall structure are used and are suitable to support the unit when fully filled with water (see Section 10 for filled weights). The holes in the wall plate are 6 mm in diameter, the maximum permissible screw head height is 3 mm.
Page 11 4.14 Floor installation: 1. If installed on a floor ensure the Matrix Midi is located so it cannot be kicked or knocked over. 2. Ensure the floor surface on which the Matrix Midi is located is flat and level. 3. If possible locate the unit against a wall for added stability. 4.
Page 12 6. The flexible hose and any wiring can be retained in the desired position using cable ties and the two metal cable retention points on the top left and right of the Matrix Midi tank. See Figs. 10 & 11. 7.
