IMPORTANT! This Installation and User Manual contains essential information regarding the safe use, correct installation, and operation of the titanium anode and potential control PS in stainless steel tanks. Before use, carefully read and understand this manual. Keep the Installation and User Manual for future reference. Pass the manual on to any subsequent owner or user of the titanium anode and potential control PS. During the use of the titanium anode and potential control PS, follow applicable safety regulations and guidelines. Due to the rapid development of our products, the contents of this manual may change without notice. 1. SAFETY SYMBOLS Safety symbols and warning signs presented below are used to emphasize particularly important safety information and principles for the correct use of the titanium anode and potential control PS: SYMBOL MEANING Immediate danger! Failure to comply may result in death or serious bodily injury. DANGER Possible danger! Failure to comply may result in death or serious bodily injury. WARNING Dangerous situation! Failure to comply may result in minor or moderate bodily injury or property damage. CAUTION Read the manual. Warning of electric shock. Caution hot surface! -

Water heaters in single-family homes are used to heat, store, and supply hot water at a specified temperature. Over time, a natural occurrence is corrosion. In hot water tanks, electrochemical corrosion occurs, characterized by the formation of corrosive cells. To extend the life of the tank, additional cathodic protection should be applied, which involves installing a titanium anode inside the tank, connected to an external power source. The tank's surface becomes the cathode, where reduction reactions occur, reducing the degree of oxidation of the depolarizer, rather than oxidizing the metal. Titanium anodes are used to protect against corrosion in domestic hot water tanks, and the basis of this technology is protection against corrosion by the current supplied from the potential control PS controller. Unlike a consumable magnesium anode, the current titanium anode works with almost no mass loss due to being made entirely of titanium and coated with an insoluble layer of rare earth metal oxides. It is also powered from an external source, and the protective potential is closely controlled by electronic equipment. Since the anode practically does not dissolve in water, it only needs to be replaced every 10 years or so, ensuring proper tank protection. An additional advantage is the elimination of the smell of hydrogen sulfide, which is often associated with magnesium anodes. 4.

On the DC side, it has two wires terminated with eyelet terminals labeled as " +" and " -". The controller is equipped with a status LED on its housing, which indicates the current operating status of the controller. The wire with the "+" labeled terminal should be connected to the terminal screw on the titanium anode plug, while the wire with the "-" labeled terminal should be connected to the terminal screw on the tank (see the connection example in the diagram below).

Incorrect wiring can accelerate tank corrosion instead of protecting it! For better electrical conductivity between the tank housing and the wire end, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the contact surface of the connector, e.g., with fine sandpaper. CAUTION 5.2. TITANIUM ANODE The titanium anode consists of a plug with a thread of R3/4 inch, a plug seal (O-ring seal), a titanium electrode that is coated with a layer of rare metal oxides at one end and is terminated with an M5 nut thread at the other end, and a silicone sleeve that serves as a seal for the titanium electrode.

R3/4 inch plug of the titanium anode Water tank Housing clamp of the water tank If the hot water tank is equipped with a magnesium anode, it must be removed before installing the titanium anode. CAUTION 6. INSTALLATION OF TITANIUM ANODE AND POTENTIAL CONTROL PS Before proceeding with the installation, you should: Close the valve on the cold water supply to the tank. Turn off the power to the electric heater in the tank (if applicable). Turn off the power to the heat pump or other device connected to the heating coil (if applicable). Open a hot water tap (e.g., in the bathroom) to relieve pressure in the tank. Open the tank's water drain valve and drain the water into the sewage system. Remove the magnesium anode (if applicable). Installation of the titanium anode and potential controller PS: Screw the R3/4" plug with the titanium anode into the mounting hole of the tank and tighten the plug by pressing the O-ring collar. -
Page 9: Usage
7. USAGE The installer should inform the user about the functions of the titanium anode and the potential controller PS and provide necessary information for safe usage. Before starting to use, read this manual carefully and follow the instructions it contains. The use of the titanium anode and potential controller PS should not be entrusted to children or individuals with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities or to a person without the required experience and knowledge unless they are supervised or instructed on the safe use of the device by a person responsible for their safety. Keep the device out of the reach of children. CAUTION Safety principles for the proper use of the titanium anode and potential controller PS during operation include: If the tank is not in use, do not leave water in it for more than 3 months. This can lead to the accumulation of hydrogen inside the tank. Before this time elapses, open the hot water valves to allow any trapped hydrogen to escape from inside the tank. At least once a month, check whether the green LED indicator light on the controller's housing is lit, indicating that the system is operating correctly. Do not turn off the power to the controller when the tank is filled with water. Turning off the controller is necessary when you want to drain the water from the tank. Failure to comply with the above information will result in the loss of warranty. In case of any irregularities, please report this to an Authorized Service Partner or the manufacturer's service department. - Page 10 NOTES...
