User Instructions Controlling your unit You can easily set how much hot water you need using either the gauge (located on the side of the product), or the Mixergy app. 2.1.1 Quick start controls your unit using the gauge Your CubeX-DHW comes with an integral gauge which provides: a) A quick means of turning the product on or off via the top ‘power button’...
Mixergy Cube X DHW, use the Mixergy App. For more details on the App, how to use it and where to find it, visit the Mixergy App page via the URL below or go to the Google or IOS store and simply search ‘Mixergy app’:...
This can be configured using the Mixergy App as detailed through the links provided in Section 3.1.2. Having a higher setting temperature means that the product will store more energy. Having a lower setting temperature means less energy but also lower heat losses.
2.2.2 Tank Overfill Pipe Connection The Mixergy CubeX-DHW has an overfill pipe connection (Figure 4). The function of the overfill pipe is to act as a vent and prevent any pressure build up if the tank was overfilled or developed an internal fault. If water is continuously flowing through the overfill pipe this may suggest the tank has developed a fault or that the inlet valve is leaking.
Installation guide Tank installation The following instructions must be read prior to the installation of the Mixergy CubeX-DHW, and work should only be carried out by a competent person. The installer should be aware of their responsibility and duty of care to ensure all aspects of the installation comply with all current regulations and legislation.

450mm (18 inches) is the minimum distance to make a solder connection from any of the inlet and outlet connections on top of the Mixergy CubeX-DHW. This is to reduce the possibility of any residual flux / solder contacting the stainless-steel corrugated tube inside the tank. Fluxes used for soldering or brazing are, by their nature and purpose, aggressive towards metals.
4.1.3 Mains Water Supply Pipework For optimum performance, it is recommended that the incoming mains water supply should be capable of always delivering a minimum flow rate of 10l/min at a dynamic pressure of 1 bar or above. This should be sufficient for the operation of most sanitary appliances.

4.1.4 Hot and cold-water connections The mixing valve pipe set fittings should be fitted to the hot and cold domestic hot water heat exchanger coil connections. These are positioned on the top of the hot water storage tank and are identified with a tap symbol, Figure 7.
4.1.5 Fill loop connection Remove the isolation valve that is circled in figure 8 below. Figure 8: Filling loop Assemble the double check valve to the copper pipe. Ensure the orientation matches that in figure 9. There is an arrow on the valve which signifies the direction of flow. Figure 9: Orientation of double check valve Assemble the filling loop flexi between both valves as shown in Figure 10 below.
4.1.6 Secondary Return Ideally the Cube X DHW should be installed as close as possible to all hot water outlets however, where this is not possible, and the pipe runs to outlets are excessive, a secondary return may need to be fitted. Figure 11 details a typical schematic of how to fit a secondary return to the hot water storage tank.
/ soil or atmosphere, the internal overfill kit can be used. Note: For the operation of the Mixergy CubeX-DHW unit, it is essential that the overfill pipe remains free of any blockages. A blockage in this pipe can lead to the failure of the unit.
4.2.3 Timer control The black 3-core (L,N,E) cable labelled ‘TIMER CONTROL’ can be used to integrate the Mixergy Cube X DHW with any existing timers or controllers i.e. economy 7 timer or a dual channel controller. This cable detects an 80-240VAC signal and instructs the Cube X DHW to heat unless otherwise disabled in software.

4.3.1 Installing the powerline adapter The Mixergy Cube X DHW requires internet connectivity to allow for full control of the unit. Connection to the cylinder can be made using the provided ethernet to powerline adapter or by hard-wired ethernet. NOTE: If an existing HomePlug AV powerline network is installed at the property, it is recommended to pair the Cube X DHW with the existing network.
4.3.2 Wiring an ethernet connection If a hard-wired CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 network connection is desired, this can be achieved as follows: ENSURE ALL ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES ARE SWITCHED OFF BEFORE OPENING THE Cube X DHW CONTROLLER COVER. 1. Unscrew and remove the Cube X DHW controller cover and then disconnect the blue ethernet cable as shown.
Commissioning The following instructions must be read and understood prior to the commissioning of the CubeX-DHW. If under any circumstances there are aspects to the installation and or unit which do not comply with the specification laid down, the unit MUST NOT be put into operation until the unit and or installation meets all the requirements.
Leave the tap open until the unit has been cleared. If water begins to exit the Cube X DHW via the overflow tank during filling isolate the Cube X DHW and contact Mixergy Support. 5.2.2...

Maintenance The design of the Mixergy CubeX-DHW means that it requires minimal maintenance, it is important that the unit is serviced annually to ensure its safe and efficient operation. Servicing should be carried out by a qualified heating engineer and the details of any work carried out should be logged in the Service Record section of this manual.
Maintenance checks Carry out a visual inspection of the general condition of the unit. Maintenance Checklist: ☐ Check the overfill pipe connection and associated pipework for any leaks and or blockages which may affect free drainage. If necessary, replace defective parts. ☐...
DE-COMMISSIONING 6.3.1 Disassembly, recycling and disposal Disassembly and removal from service should be carried out by a competent person. Note: Disconnect and isolate all electrical supplies and allow the store water and pipework to cool before carrying out disassembly and or removal of the unit. 1) Close the stopcock on the mains cold water supply to the tank.
Hot Water Storage System Commissioning Checklist This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the storage system as a means of demonstrating compliance with the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep for future reference.
