MXA130 & MXA230 The Differential setting represents the allowable pressure loss before the pump activates and restores the cold fill pressure. The Differential setting must not be greater than the system venting allowance. This will ensure that the system remains fully flooded during normal topup conditions.
MXA130 & MXA230 9.1. Shut-down procedure Ensures water in the supply pipe to the product is refreshed every 3-7 days. The tank is then left empty to reduce the risk of water borne diseases. The time can be set to adjust for different pipe lengths.
Please ensure that when the system cools down or warms up, the minimum or maximum system pressure does not exceed or fall below the permitted operating pressure. Check the MXA130 & MXA230 operation once power supply has been restored and, if necessary, set the actual date and time values (overview menu options).
Maintenance and repairs Maintenance and repairs may only be carried out when the system is shut down or if the MXA130 & MXA230 is not required to monitor or operate. The power supply must remain off for the period of the work.
5 Years after first commissioning, the MXA130 & MXA230 will need an annual service to reset the reminders for the annual service. It is the building owners responsibility to book the annual service to reset the controller.
MXA130 & MXA230 10.2. Visual inspection A basic visual inspection will highlight the majority of potential faults on a pressurisation unit. It is recommended to perform a visual inspection annually. However, due to the simplicity of performing these checks, frequent inspections are encouraged.
MXA130 & MXA230 Decommissioning / Dismantling At the end of the service life or at planned shut-down of the equipment, please refer to chapter: 9.1 “Shut-down procedure” and follow the steps. The unit is separated from the power supply. The hydraulic system connection and top-up connection should be closed off.
