    Unvented hot water cylinder – SCxn…d/i, SCxn…sd/si WATER 5 Installation 5.1 General advice Please read the following section carefully before commencing installation. If in any doubt, please call the appropriate help desk. Disregarding the instructions given in this manual in its entirety and any relevant regulations, standards and codes of practice will void the guarantee of this product.
  • Page 10: Siting Considerations

    - frost protection The Dimplex SCxn cylinder range is designed to be floor standing, vertically mounted, indoors and in a frost free environment. The cylinder may be located on any flat and level surface, provided it is sufficiently robust to support the weight of the cylinder when full of water (see chapter 10).
  • Page 11 Unvented hot water cylinder – SCxn…d/i, SCxn…sd/si WATER It is recommended to install a drain valve in the lowest point of the cold water feed to the cylinder. This allows the cylinder to be drained in a controlled manner should this become necessary.

    Unvented hot water cylinder – SCxn…d/i, SCxn…sd/si WATER Figure 6 – Cold water supply and discharge pipe work installation 5.4 Hot water outlet The hot water pipe work is to be directly connected to the how water outlet connections of the cylinder as indicated in Figures 1 and 2. Should a thermostatic mixing valve be required the valve is to be installed following the manufacturers instructions.
  • Page 13: Indirect Heating Loop

    Unvented hot water cylinder – SCxn…d/i, SCxn…sd/si WATER Note: The cylinder must be filled with water before switching on the immersion heater. Failure to do so will damage the element and void any guarantee on the product. 5.6 Indirect heating loop The indirect heating source can be connected to the cylinder in various ways as de- scribed by the chosen control system supplier.
  • Page 14: Solar Loop

    Unvented hot water cylinder – SCxn…d/i, SCxn…sd/si WATER The port connections for the indirect heating flow and return are identified in Figure 1 for the SCxn…i range and in Figure 2 for the SCxn…si range. Should the flow connection be the highest point in the indirect heating loop an adequate device for de-aeration has to be installed.
  • Page 15: Secondary Return

    The wiring schematic for the solar loop is detailed in chapter 5.12. Please note: the so- lar loop does not require a motorised two port valve as long as: - the Dimplex SOLPU1/2 pump unit is being used (non return valves in flow and return) - the cylinder is located lower than the solar panels...
