PLEASE LEAVE THIS MANUAL WITH THE CUSTOMER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
INTRODUCTION The PremierPlus SystemFit is a factory pre-plumbed and wired PremierPlus unvented water heater. The PremierPlus SystemFit is manufactured in the UK from top quality materials and meets all the latest relevant safety and constructional standards. The high grade Duplex stainless steel cylinder offers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance which is backed by a 30 year guarantee (see terms and conditions on page 25).
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS IMPORTANT: THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE USED BY CHILDREN AGED FROM 8 YEARS AND ABOVE AND PERSONS WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IF THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISORY OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE IN A SAFE WAY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED.

OUTLET/TERMINAL FITTINGS (TAPS, ETC.) The PremierPlus SystemFit can be used in conjunction with most types of terminal fittings, plumbing fittings and pipework. However, the rated pressures of any fittings selected should be checked for compatibility before installation. NOTE: Accessories, plumbing fittings and pipework should have a rated operating pressure of at least 6 bar. Outlets situated higher than the PremierPlus SystemFit unit will give outlet pressures lower than that at the heater, a 10m height difference will result in a 1 bar pressure reduction at the outlet fitting.

INSTALLATION – GENERAL PIPE FITTINGS The connection points to the heating system are in 22mm copper pipe on 120, 150, 170 and 210 litre units. On units 250 litres and above the primary flow connection is 28mm, the flow connections to central heating (CH) zones 22mm and the domestic hot water (DHW) return connection 22mm copper pipe.

Under no circumstances should the factory fitted temperature/pressure relief valve be removed other than by authorised Santon personnel. To do so will invalidate any guarantee or claim. ii) The cold water combination valve must be fitted to the mains water supply to the PremierPlus SystemFit unit.
INSTALLATION - DISCHARGE It is a requirement of Building Regulation G3 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 guidance notes of Building Regulation G3.
Page 13
Note: An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow Annex D, section D.2 of BS 6700:2006 Specification for design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages. 3.59 Where a single common discharge pipe serves more than one system, it should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe(D2) to be connected.

COMMISSIONING At the time of commissioning, please ensure all relevant sections of the Benchmark Checklist, (Pages 26 and 27) of this document are completed. FILLING THE UNIT WITH WATER • Check expansion vessel pre-charge pressure. The vessel is supplied precharged to 3.5 bar to match the control pressure of the pressure reducing valve.
NOTE: it may be necessary to cool the PremierPlus SystemFit down to allow the indirect thermostat to call for heat, it may also be necessary to increase the required room temperature setting if the room temperature has already reached that programmed. The pump should run and the boiler fire (both a tap symbol and a flame symbol should appear in the controller display).
IMMERSION HEATER REMOVAL Open the cover(s) to the immersion heater housing(s) and disconnect wiring from immersion heater thermostat(s). Remove thermostat capillary sensors from the pockets on the immersion heater. Unscrew immersion heater backnut(s) and remove immersion heater from the unit. A key spanner is supplied with the cylinder unit for easy removal/tightening of the backnut(s). Over time, the immersion heater gasket may become stuck to the mating surface.
Page 21
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS IMMERSION HEATER(S) A combined adjustable thermostat and thermal cut-out is provided for each immersion heater. The thermostat is factory set to give a water storage temperature of approx. 55° to 60°C. Access to the thermostat can be made by opening the immersion heater cover - DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE OPENING THE COVER(S).
