All mechanical components of the Powertank are covered by a 12 month warranty against manufacturing defects. In case of failure please contact the Technical Department on 01543 415200. Site Storage Should a Powertank need to be stored before installation it should be in a safe place away from moisture, dust and frost.
Once the tank is full, connect the discharge pipe work as per the installation diagram. • The discharge pipe work must be, at a minimum, the same size as the Powertank inlet supply; if it is smaller the result will be reduced pressure and flow at the outlets.
We recommend the space allowed should be at least two-thirds the height of the tank. Foundation & Mounting Powertank must be mounted on a solid foundation to support the weight of the unit. Surfaces must be flat and level to spread weight load evenly. The recommended surface for a Powertank is a concrete plinth or floor.
The bypass must be installed in accordance with the water By-law regulations and should be drained to prevent water stagnation when not being used. Installation Diagrams Compact Installation Diagram Powertank Utility Installation Diagram By-Pass Line Water By-Pass Line Water...
Ensure that the electrical supply is fully isolated before removing any electrical covers. The Powertank is fitted with a 3 core cable and the earth wire must be connected. It is recommended that an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is fitted on the incoming electrical supply.
18.9 Amps Wiring Connections The Powertank Industrial unit has provision for an external level switch input and a volt free general alarm output (BMS connection). Connections for these features are made within the main wiring box as per the diagrams below.
3. Check that the Pre-charge air pressure in the pressure vessel is set 0.2 bar below the cut in pressure. For a standard fixed speed Powertank with a 1.5 bar Presflo this would be 1.3 bar. For variable speed units with user selectable start pressures it should be set according to your required duty point.
1.3 bar. Fixed Speed Powertanks - Pressure Settings The start pressure is 1.5 bar on a standard fixed speed Powertank and is not user adjustable. These Powertanks are not suitable for installations where the highest outlet is more than 12 vertical metres above the Powertank, please consult our Technical...
