TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS G3 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE - UK ONLY Discharge pipe from safety valves The Building Regulation G3 requires that any discharge from an unvented system is conveyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and discharge pipes should be fitted in accordance with the requirements and guid- ance notes of Building Regulation G3.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Worked example of discharge pipe sizing Figure on the left shows a G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge. From Table: Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief valve is 9.0m.
Optional heating element for Smart ME The models Smart ME 200 - 300 - 400 - 600 can be installed with a self- controlled heating element with built-in control safety thermostats. The control thermostat of the tank cannot control the heating element.

INSTALLATION PACKAGE CONTENTS The Smart ME 200 - 300 - 400 appliances are delivered assembled, tested and packed. The Smart ME 600 - 800 appliances are delivered, tested and packed separately. At product reception and after removal of packaging, check the package contents and that the appliance is free of damages.
INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THE INSTALLATION For installation of the soft casing, refer to "Preparation of the Tank (Smart ME 600 - 800)", page General remark • Make sure to place the rating plate on the outer casing of the tank, so that it is easily accessible and readable.
INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General remarks • Connections (electrical, hydraulic) must be carried out in accordance with applicable standards and regulations. • If the water drawing off point is far from the tank, installing an auxiliary DHW loop can allow to get hot water more quickly at all times. Essential instructions for the correct operation of the system •...

STARTING UP STARTING UP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO FILL THE TANK Essential instructions for the safety of persons and the environment • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. • Do not use vehicle antifreeze. This can cause serious injury or death, or damage facilities.
STARTING UP FILLING Essential instruction for the correct operation of the system • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. FILLING THE DHW TANK (Figure 1) General remark • Connect the safety valve outlet to the sewer. To fill the tank, open a hot water tap (2) located at the highest point of the system.

STARTING UP CHECKS BEFORE STARTING UP • Check that the safety valves (DHW and primary) are correctly installed and that the outlets are connected to the sewer. • Check that the DHW tank and the primary circuit are filled with water. •...
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE PERIODIC CHECKS BY THE USER • Check the pressure of the primary circuit pressure gauge: it should be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar. • Visually inspect, on a regular basis, the valves, connections and accessories in order to detect any leaks or malfunction.
MAINTENANCE DRAINING Essential instruction for the safety of persons and the environment • The water coming out of the drain valve is very hot and can cause very severe burns. Make sure the area around the hot water flow is clear of people. Essential instruction for the electrical safety •...
MAINTENANCE DRAINING THE DHW TANK (Figure 4) To drain the hot water heater’s DHW tank: Open fully the hot water tap (3) for at least 60 minutes to make sure the DHW tank has cooled down sufficiently. Close the filling valve (1) and the stop valve (4). Connect the drain valve (2) to the sewer using a flexible hose.
