The cylinder frame arrangement permits the cylinder to sit above a washing machine. The HI-MAX STORE HIU is wall mounted and can be supplied with a first fix rail for ease of installation. The unit is supplied complete with all the necessary safety and control devices needed to allow connection to the community heating system and the apartment's central heating and hot water systems.
The combination of pressurisation and hot water could lead to serious physical injury if the safety instructions in this manual are not adhered to. The unit is also designed to work at district heating hydraulic pressures up to 16 bar g and temperatures up to 90°C, which, if exposed to could lead to serious physical injury.
DO NOT bypass the thermal cut-out(s) in any circumstances. WARNING The heat meter can be installed within the space provided inside the HI-MAX STORE HIU. Although most heat meters are now battery powered some are still provided with a mains power supply.

I.E.E Electrical Regulations UK Water Regulations 4.2 Installation requirements Limitations The HI-MAX STORE HIU should not be used in association with any of the following: # Situations where maintenance is likely to be neglected or safety devices tampered with. # Water supplies that have either inadequate pressure or where the supply may be intermittent.
# Access to associated controls must be available for the servicing and maintenance of the system. # Ensure that the wall that the Heatrae Sadia HI- MAX STORE is mounted on is level and capable of permanently supporting the weight when the unit is full of water.

5. Installation 5.1 HIU Installation 1. Fix the 1st fix rail to the wall using suitable fixings and ensure the rail is level (Fig. Fig 8. First fix rail mounting details 2. Slide the two studs provided on the 1st fix rail through the slotted holes in the unit back plate and secure loosely with the M6 nuts provided (Fig.
Page 17
Fig 9. HIU mounting details 3. Mark out and drill the bottom fixing points and use suitable fixings for the mounting surface (see Fig 10).

Fig 10. HI-MAX STORE - Bottom Support Fixing Points 4. Fix the casing on by dropping the folds on the casing into the slots on the backplate. Fix with two screws underneath (Fig.12) Fig 11. HI-MAX STORE HIU - Casing mounting Fig 12.
DO NOT operate the immersion heaters until the cylinder has been filled with water. page 14 5.2 Cylinder and frame installation 1. Place the frame in final position, ensuring the back of the frame is up against the wall. Secure the frame to the floor and wall using screws through the 8 holes provided. IMPORTANT Ensure when fixing the frame to the floor that the surface is even and level.
Page 20
2. Lift the cylinder on to the frame and push it back to the location ring on the frame cylinder shelf. Take care not to scratch the shelf by tilting the cylinder back. For lifting purposes please take note of the cylinder weight detailed in the cylinder manual and add 5kgs for any ancillary components.
Page 21
5. Fit the lower safety valve discharge pipe to the upper discharge pipe using the 22mm compression coupling provided. Adjust the cylinder as necessary on the frame. IMPORTANT The safety discharge pipework from an unvented cylinder must be suitable to withstand high temperatures circa 100°C for prolonged periods.
5.3 Cylinder and HIU installation Filling the Cylinder # Ensure the drain cock is CLOSED. # Open a hot tap furthest from the cylinder. # Open the isolating valve on the 3 bar pressure reducing valve by turning the blue handle on the stop cock (if fitted in this position) so that it lies parallel to the direction of flow.
# Open the isolating valves at either end of the filling loop and allow to fill from the mains inlet supply. # To ensure the cylinder primary heat exchanger is filled, both of the 2 port motorised valve (supplied) should be manually opened by moving the lever on the motor housing to the MANUAL setting.
Follow the instructions carefully. It is recommended that the finished installation is checked by a qualified electrician for earth continuity. The provided shakeproof washers are essential to creating earth continuity within the product and MUST be used. Please refer to operation 8 of the fitting instructions on following page.

4. Using the "C" bracket, secure the back of the side frame with 1 No. M4x35mm screw. 5. Using 1 No. M4x35mm screw and shakeproof washer fix the side panel to the cylinder frame. 6. Using the "C" bracket, secure the back of the side panel with 1 No. M4x35mm screw. 7.
8. When fixing the front panels ensure that the shakeproof washers are correctly fitted. 9. Using M5x20mm screw, shakeproof washer & plastic cap fit upper front panel. page 18 Components 6.1 District control valve Application # The pressure independent balancing & control valve (PICV) in your unit provides on/ off control with full authority regardless of any fluctuations in the differential pressure of the system.
Page 27
Fig13. PICV PICV makes it simple to achieve 100% control of the water flow in the building, while creating high comfort and energy savings at the same time. # An additional benefit is that no balancing is required if further stages are added to the system, or if the dimensioned capacity is changed.
Page 28
Fig 15. PICV Installation Benefits # No further regulating valves required in the distribution pipework when PICV is installed at terminals. # Total number of valves minimized due to the 4-in-1 design. # Minimized commissioning time due to automatic balancing of the system. # No minimum straight pipe lengths required before or after the valve.
6.2 Safety valve Safety Valve The HI-MAX STORE HIU is supplied with a sealed system safety valve set to lift at 3.0 bar The safety valve should be checked periodically to ensure that the valve is operational. This is done by simply twisting the red plastic cap at the top of the valve. In doing so, a small burst of water will discharge from the valve, which can be witnessed through a tundish.

Fig 19 Y Strainer Y Strainer Installed in the district heating flow pipe, the Y pattern strainer is fitted with a 500 micron filter to prevent any debris from entering the HI-MAX STORE HIU from the district heating system. This filter can be accessed for cleaning purposes through the service plug.
page 21 6.4 Plate heat exchanger Brazed plate heat exchanger The brazed plate heat exchanger supplied within the heat interface unit provides a break between the primary (community / district) heating circuit and the secondary (apartment) central heating circuit. This is particularly useful in high rise apartment blocks where the primary circuit can run at high pressures.
Fig 21. Position of plate heat exchanger page 22 7.0 Commissioning 7.1 Commissioning the district heating system 1. Depending on the size of the building there will be an element of diversification factored into the design. As such the centralised plant and pumps are unlikely to be able to supply 100% of the heat load to all apartments at any one time.
Note the PICV will take a few minutes to close. Fig 22. Setting the flow rate dial page 23 7.3 Product installation & service documentation HEAT INTERFACE UNIT COMMISSIONING CHECKLIST This commissioning checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the HIU as a means of demonstrating how the unit was installed and commissioned and must be handed to the customer to keep for future reference.

STORE HIU to be isolated from the district heating system during flushing and filling of the distribution network. District heating piping arrangement: Where the HI-MAX STORE HIU is fitted with a two port on/off district heating control valve, all branches within the distribution pipework should be fitted with a reduced flow bypass valve to ensure water flows through these pipes at all times.
