Scope of Delivery * These items are supplied factory fitted *** Supplied with Dimplex heat pump hydraulic pack Scope of Delivery HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 10 Table 1: Scope of Delivery for Heat Pump with Buffer and A Class Heat Pump with Buffer Cylinders 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. Handling – depending on the size of the unit and access to its installation location, consideration must be given to the handling of the unit. Please note that handling, installation and use of this product is subject to the Health and Safety at Work Act. If the unit is not installed immediately, it should remain in its protective packaging with all pipe protectors/end caps applied to prevent damage and dirt deposit inside the cylinder and the coils. Pipe Work – the pipe runs should be executed as short as possible, unused pipe work should be removed and all remaining pipe work should be lagged in accordance with regulatory requirements to prevent heat loss and the formation of condensation. Taps and Fittings – all taps and fittings incorporated in the unvented system should have a rated operating pressure of 0.6 MPa (6 bar) or above. 3.1 Risk Assessment The compilation of a risk assessment is strongly recommended before installing the product. The following areas require particular consideration in addition to the information required by the Health and Safety at Work Act. - scalding: where appropriate or required by law a thermostatic mixing valve is to be fitted to the hot water outlet of the cylinder (see also water borne organisms). - explosion: the unit is fully equipped with all relevant safety equipment to comply with current regulations. The correct design and function has been verified by independent third party testing. The correct application thereof is the responsibility of the competent installer. - water borne organisms (i.e. Legionella): if applicable a risk assessment should be carried out following the recommendations outlined in the Approved Code of Practice L8. - the user preference must be considered when commissioning the system, in particular when adjusting the solar and auxiliary system temperature and timer settings. 3.2 Siting Considerations When choosing a suitable location for the cylinder the following aspects should be considered: - structural integrity - access for installation, operation, maintenance and replacement - routing of discharge pipe work - access to water mains supply, hot and cold water distribution pipe work - access to suitable electricity supply - location in relation to remaining system components such as auxiliary and solar heating system Pre-Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 11 3 Pre-Installation Advice 3.3 Cold Water Supply The heat pump 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 (please see technical data) and suitably accessible for replacement/maintenance without specialist tools or lifting equipment as this will void the warranty conditions. The position and orientation of the cylinder should be such that easy access is provided for servicing the controls. A minimum distance of 400mm in front of the immersion is recommended, to allow the replacement of the immersion heater should the need arise. When installing the cylinder all labels should be clearly visible and ensure that no pipework hinders any work to be carried out on the various cylinder components. Particular care must be taken when placing the cylinder in a garage or outbuilding. All exposed pipe work must be correctly insulated to avoid frost damage. For satisfactory and safe performance of the unvented cylinder the water supply must meet the following criteria: Minimum dynamic pressure Maximum inlet supply pressure Minimum flow rate Max. chlorine content Max. water hardness 150 kPa (1.5 bar) 1200 kPa (12 bar) 15 l/min 250mg/L 200mg/L The following instructions have to be followed when installing the cold water mains supply to the cylinder: - The cold water supply to the cylinder must come directly from the cold water mains after the mains stop valve to the property. - The cold water inlet pipe work should have at least an inside diameter of 19mm and should meet the requirements of the water regulations for the supply of wholesome water. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: Clean outer cladding of cylinder with a soft cloth dampened with warm water only. Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning materials, such as alcohol or petroleum based solvents, as this may damage the surface of the product. Pre-Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 12 - frost protection Dimplex recommend an annual maintenance inspection is carried out on the domestic hot water cylinder. In hard water areas this should include inspection of the heat exchanger and immersion heater, [above 120ppm or 120mg/l]. A local water treatment company should be able to offer free water quality testing. The heating elements may require periodic descaling. The installer should do this as part of a maintenance agreement. As part of the requirements of Building Regulation G3 any discharge from an unvented system should be conveyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and the discharge pipes should be fitted in accordance with the requirements of Building Regulation approved document G3, (England and Wales), Part P of Northern Ireland and Standard 4.9 of Scotland. HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 13 If required, precautions can be taken to minimise effects of water hardness, i.e. installation of water conditioner or water softener. These devices should be installed in hard water areas where high water storage temperatures are required, i.e. greater than 60°C storage temperatures, particularly when water hardness exceeds 200ppm. Should the water cylinder require de-scaling, this must be performed by a qualified technician. 3.4 Building Regulation G3 Discharge Requirements Pre-Installation The discharge pipe (D2) from the Tundish should: - “have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long below the tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipework and be installed with a continuous fall of at least 1 in 200 thereafter.” The discharge pipe (D2) should be made of: - “metal; or other material that has been demonstrated to be capable of safely withstanding temperatures of the water discharged and is clearly and permanently marked to identify the product and performance standard” Dimplex strongly recommends the use of metal pipework only and Dimplex does not take responsibility for any damage caused from discharges. The discharge pipe D2 should be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long, i.e. for discharge pipes between 9m and 18m the equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device; between 18 and 27m at least 3 sizes larger, and so on; bends must be taken into account in calculating the flow resistance. See Figure 2, Table 2 and the worked example. Note: An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow Annex D, section D.2 of BS 6700:2006 + A1:2009). Figure 2: Typical Discharge Pipe Arrangement Pre-Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 14 3.4.1 Discharge Pipe D2 Table 2: Sizing of Copper Discharge Pipe “D2” for Common Temperature Relief Valve Outlet Sizes 3.4.2 Worked Example This example is for a G½ temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) (as fitted on 125 to 300L cylinders) having 4 No. 22mm elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge. From Table 2, the maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G½ temperature relief valve is: 18m Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 28mm elbows at 1.0m each = 4m Therefore the maximum length equates to 14m. permitted As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory. HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 15 (D2) from a G½ temperature relief valve is 9.0m. Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m. Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to 5.8m, which is less than the actual length of 7m, therefore calculate the next largest size. Pre-Installation - The discharge pipe should not be connected to a soil discharge stack unless the soil discharge stack is capable of safely withstanding temperatures of the water discharged, in which case, it should: - contain a mechanical seal, which allows water into the branch pipe without allowing foul air from the drain to be ventilated through the tundish. - there should be a separate branch pipe with no sanitary appliances connected to it. - if plastic pipes are used as branch pipes carrying discharge from a safety device, they should be either polybutalene (PB) or crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) complying with national standards. - be continuously marked with a warning that no sanitary appliances should be connected to the pipe. 3.4.3 Termination of Discharge Pipe - “The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the discharge.” - Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are: - “to a trapped gully with the end of the pipe below a fixed grating and above the water seal; - downward discharges at low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility; and , - discharges at high level: e.g. into a metal hopper and metal downpipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastic guttering system that would collect such discharges.” Note: As the discharge would consist of high temperature water and steam, asphalt, roofing felt and non-metallic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges. Pre-Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 16 - 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. 3.5 Limitations - The heat pump must be specified correctly, to ensure it is compatible with the model of cylinder installed. This is to prevent the heat pump malfunctioning when preparing domestic hot water. - The heat exchangers in this range of cylinders have been specifically designed for heat pump applications. Great care must be taken if using these cylinders with other heat sources, due to the heat exchange capacity of the product. connected directly to the cold water inlet group, utilising the flexible hose supplied with the vessel. The expansion vessel should always be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. No isolating device should be fitted between the water cylinder and the cold water inlet group. Furthermore, it is recommended to mount the vessel higher than the cylinder to avoid having to drain the cylinder when maintaining and replacing the expansion vessel. 4 Installation 4.1 Cold Water Inlet with Inlet Control Group 4.1.1 Correctly Site the Install the cylinder in an appropriate location, ensuring all of the recommendations have been considered (see chapter 3.2). 4.1.2 Install the Inlet Group The inlet group regulates the pressure of the incoming mains water supply to the cylinder and removes any debris that might be water borne. Note: Between the inlet group and the cold water inlet on the cylinder NO isolating device may be fitted, as by doing so important safety devices could be isolated! 4.1.3 Expansion Vessel The expansion vessel is mandatory on all EC-Eau cylinders and can be Figure 3: Connection of the Expansion Vessel to the Inlet Group It is important to check the pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel membrane before filling the cylinder. This has been factory set to 3 bar. The pre-charge should be greater than or equal to 3bar. Note: The expansion vessel must be installed to the side of the expansion relief valve on the inlet group. To do this the blanking plug must be removed and the expansion vessel connected, as shown in Figure 4. Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 17 Cylinder 4.2.1 Thermostatic Expansion Vessel Connection Cold Water to Cylinder Expansion Relief Valve Cold A thermostatic mixing valve may be required to limit the outlet temperature. In this case, the valve should be installed following the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring none of the safety equipment has been isolated, (i.e. make sure the connection to the thermostatic mixing valve is taken after the safety equipment of the inlet group). 4.2.2 Pipe Insulation Figure 4: Detail Showing the Connection of the Expansion Vessel to the Inlet Group 4.1.4 Balanced Mixing Valve Balanced Cold Water Supply Water Supply If balanced cold water supply is required a connection can be taken from the bottom of the inlet group. 4.1.5 Drain Valve It is recommended to insulate the hot water pipe work from the cylinder to the outlets, to reduce the energy requirements for providing hot water. It is also recommended to insulate all other exposed pipework, such as the T&P to the tundish, the coil flow and return and the cold water inlet pipes. 4.3 Discharge Pipes from Safety Devices 4.3.1 Discharge Pipe D1 It is important 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. 4.2 Hot Water Outlet The hot water pipe work is to be directly connected to the hot water outlet connection on the cylinder, see Figure 1. - The temperature and pressure relief valve must be discharged directly or by way of a manifold via a short length of metal pipe (D1) into a tundish; and the discharge pipe must be installed in a continuously downward direction and in a frost free environment. Water may drip from the discharge pipe of the pressure relief device and this pipe must be left open to the atmosphere. - The diameter of discharge pipe (D1) should not be less than the nominal outlet size of the safety device, e.g. temperature relief valve. Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 18 Cold Water from Mains - Where a manifold is used it should be sized to accept and discharge the total discharge from all the D1 discharge pipes connected to it. - The discharge pipe work from the expansion relief valve must be installed constantly falling to an open point of discharge. It is recommended to combine it with the discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve. Note: The T&P valve is pre-sealed and if moved the seal will be broken, should this occur, it will need to be resealed with an appropriate sealant (Dimplex part number R00836-1). 4.3.2 Discharge Pipe D2 For a detailed description of the discharge pipework D2 see chapter 3.4.1. 4.3.3 Tundish - The tundish should be vertical, located in the same space as the unvented hot water storage system and be fitted as close as possible to, and lower than, the safety device, with no more than 600mm of pipe between the valve outlet and the tundish (see Figure 2). - Discharge should be visible at the tundish, where discharges may not be apparent, e.g. in dwellings occupied by people with impaired vision or mobility, consideration should be given to the installation of a suitable safety device to warn when discharge takes place, e.g. electronically operated. Note: To comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, the tundish should incorporate a suitable air gap. Figure 5: Wiring Diagram for Immersion Heater Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 19 It is important that the tundish is positioned away from any electrical components. The immersion heater has to be connected in accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations and the installer carrying out the work has to be suitably qualified. It must be connected through a double pole isolating switch or suitable controller which must have a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles. The wiring diagram can be seen in Figure 5. For further details please see instructions provided with the immersion heater. The immersion heater incorporates an independent non-self resetting over temperature cut-out. Should the over temperature cut-out operate, the reset pin will be pushed upwards, and become level or slightly proud of the cover at the position marked “Safety”. Use a suitable sized implement to reset the pin by pushing it hard into its original position. The immersion heater typically cannot be directly switched by the heat pump controller, but instead requires a relay. Note: Should it be necessary to remove the thermostat from the immersion element, ensure that the contacts are re-fitted correctly into the positions on the element. Failure to do so carries the risk of overheating the contacts and thus damaging the appliance. 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. 4.5 Coil Flow Connections Equally, if the return connection is the lowest point in the heat pump loop, a suitable drain device should be installed. For location of connections see Figure 1. It is recommended that the fittings used to connect to the cylinder are suitable for stainless steel, the flow and return should use 28mm compression fittings. Not all push fit fittings can be used – please check with your supplier. When using compression fittings, ensure that the connection is not overtightened. 4.6 Coil Return Connections If the flow connection is the highest point in the heat pump loop and if the system was not commissioned using a flush and fill pump, an adequate device for de-aeration must be installed. Note: Special care is required when fitting the 3 port valve to ensure “A” goes to the DHW coil and that “B” goes to the buffer. This is different to the normal convention that may be used. A torque of 40 Nm is recommended when tightening up the immersion after it has been removed and refitted. The immersion heater thermostat must not be opened under any circumstances. Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 20 4.4 Immersion Heater 4.9 Cylinder Thermostat & Heat Pump Sensor Connections To conform to building regulations, it is imperative that the heating water circulating pump(s) be installed through the cylinder twin thermostat(s) – applicable to non A Class cylinder only. Also, a two port valve(s) has to be wired after the thermostat, ensuring compliance with building regulations. This is applicable to each heat source entering the water cylinder. Should a Dimplex Heat Pump be installed with the cylinder, it is sufficient to use the temperature sensor to control the heat input to the cylinder and ignore Section 5.9.1. Legend:A = HP Flow B = HP Flow to Buffer 4.9.1 Thermostat 4.7 HP Flow to Buffer The cylinder buffer flow connection must be connected to a three port valve which diverts flow between the buffer cylinder and DHW cylinder heating coil. 4.8 Buffer Flow to HP The cylinder buffer flow to HP connection must be connected in series with the heat emitter system/under floor heating. Connections For A Class cylinder and heat pump cylinders this connection is prewired. Where a non A Class cylinder is used the cylinder thermostat must be wired. After the sensor and cylinder thermostat are connected, the thermostat temperature setting can be adjusted such that the sensor takes primary control of the system, i.e. set the cylinder thermostat to maximum setting but allow the sensor to control desired temperature levels. To access the thermostat connections, the cover panel should be removed from the cylinder. To do this, simply remove the fixing screws from the side of the cylinder cover panel top and bottom where highlighted in . Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 21 Figure 6: Diagram Showing Positions of Valve To wire into the thermostat a three core cable or equivalent is required to be fitted to the terminal block as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8: Cylinder Thermostat Layout Beneath the cylinder cover panel the pre wired dual cut out thermostat assembly can be accessed. Supply from control unit T1 The live supply to the thermostat must be connected to the terminal block according to the schematic in Error!

Figure 9: Thermostat Wiring Schematic Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 22 Figure 7: Cylinder Cover Panel Removal 4.9.2 Sensor Installation To access the DHW sensor mounting bracket, the dual thermostat assembly must be removed from the cylinder as shown in Figure 10. Two mounting screws must be removed before obtaining access. Orientate the sensor mounting plate to allow access to the phials (four clips in the centre of the sensor mounting plate). Be careful not to kink the capillaries that connect the thermostat bulbs. The sensor mounting plate will have two vacant slots for additional sensors. Slide the sensor into place as shown in Figure 12. B A Figure 10: Sensor Bracket Access If an additional sensor is required, simply insert it into the adjacent sensor holder. Figure 12: Fitting the Sensor To replace the sensor mounting plate in position, simply refit the four fixing screws and secure the plate against the cylinder bracket. It is important to take care that none of the cables become damaged during this step and that good contact is made between the cylinder wall and the sensor(s). Figure 11: Sensor Bracket Removal Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 23 Next remove the insulation foam (A) to access the sensor mounting plate (B) and remove the M5 fixing screws in the four corners of the plate. 4.10 Connection Secondary Return of For cylinders that do not have a dedicated secondary return connection, it is possible to install a secondary return by connecting a swept - T to the cold water inlet of the cylinder (see Figure 13). The secondary return pipe should incorporate a check valve and a WRAS approved circulation pump; timer and thermostat to be provided separately. Where secondary return circuits are used, then an additional expansion vessel may be required. The secondary return loop must avoid: - stagnant water in long pipe runs - long waiting times at draw off point for hot water - undue water wastage To minimise the energy consumption of the secondary return circuit and to ensure reliable operation it is important to consider: - the control of the circulation pump to be time and temperature controlled - the secondary return circuit pipe work to be insulated - the secondary return pump to be of suitable material and specification HW Outlet Swept-T From Taps Figure 13: Secondary Return Loop Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 24 To Taps Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 25 Figure 14: Wiring Configuration of Space Heating and Hot Water Dimplex "A Class" Cylinder All wiring must be carried out by a suitably qualified person and must be fully compliant with the current release of Building & Wiring Regulations. For general wiring configuration see Figure 14. The water module has been pre-wired to ensure minimal additional work is required by the installer. The following summarises the required electrical connections which the installer must make: Primary connections, 4.11.1. A three core cable must be connected between the supply isolator and the cylinder connector block. See Figure 15. Modbus connection, 4.11.2. The communication cable between the cylinder and heat pump must be installed. See Figure 16. Zone connections 4.11.3. The circulation pump(s) and valve(s) should be wired as illustrated in Figure 17. Temperature sensors and digital inputs can be connected to the PCB, 4.11.4 (DI 01-05), (NTCDHW and NTC-Zone 1-4). See Figure 18. 4.11.1 Primary Electrical Connections In both retro fit and new build installations, a 3 core cable must be taken from the isolator [minimum of a 16Amp double pole fused spur] and connected to the primary connector block as illustrated in Figure 15. Live connection taken from a fused spur to the cylinder connector block, [LHS grey terminal]. Neutral and Earth wires must be connected to the blue and green/yellow connectors respectively, as per Figure 15. Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 26 4.11 Water Module Wiring 4.11.2 Modbus Connection Correct installation of the Modbus connections is critical for communication between the heat pump, UI and the cylinder. Figure 16 illustrates how these connections must be made. The modbus wire must be specified to BELDEN 9842. The maximum allowable network length is 100m. Modbus in connection comes from the heat pump master controller. Modbus out connection goes to the user interface. The earth shield of the Modbus connection must be connected to ground at both ends. The Earth connector block or the cylinder stat bracket can be used as a ground connection. The Modbus cables can be fed inside the low voltage trunking (LHR) under the metal hood and clamped to the strain relief bar, using the supplied cable ties. Note: The earth shield in the cable from the heat pump to the cylinder is only terminated at the cylinder. Installation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 27 Figure 15: Primary Electrical Connections, Live, Neutral & Earth 4.11.3 Zone Connections For a dual zone system, i.e. DHW and CH, a pump and a three port valve is required; these are included in the scope of delivery of the heat pump hydraulic pack. Where additional zones are required, the installer must specify and source suitable components. Figure 17 illustrates wiring of each pump and/or zone valve for up to 4 zones. Note: The water module PCB is only capable of switching valves and under no circumstances should ERP pumps be switched, as irreparable damage will be caused that will void the warranty. Note: The circulatory pump speed control [two core cable] connections must NOT be connected in any way.

Inputs Temperature Sensors & The water module contains 5 optional digital inputs, 4 optional NTC zone temperature sensor inputs and 1 domestic hot water (DHW) NTC sensor. DHW NTC is pre-wired and fitted to the cylinder. This sensor allows the user interface to display the actual cylinder temperature. NTC zone sensors allow the user interface to display room temperature in up to 4 different zones and actuate the corresponding controls accordingly. Note: The DI’s are volt free and under no circumstances should 240V be connected to these, as irreparable damage would result and void the warranty.

The following commissioning procedures only detail the required steps to be taken for the potable water loop and not for the heat pump loop: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Before making any mains connections to the inlet control group, flush the mains pipework out to ensure all debris has been removed so as not to damage the strainer within the combination valve. Make final mains connection on combination valve and check all connections and joints to ensure they have been tightened and secured correctly. Before turning on the mains supply to the cylinder a hot water tap should be opened, preferably on the same floor or the floor below where the cylinder is located. Check the pre-charge in the expansion vessel and ensure it is at least 3 bar. Note actual pressure on label on expansion vessel. Turn on the supply to the cylinder and fill until water runs from the open hot water tap. Continue to flush the system until all debris has been removed. 6) Close the hot water tap. 7) Check all joints for leaks, even those not having been altered especially when replacing a vented cylinder. 8) Open temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure proper discharge and check after closing that valve is not dripping. 9) Open expansion relief valve to ensure proper discharge and check after closing that valve is not dripping. 10) Check all shower outlets, toilet cisterns and other draw off points for leaks or dripping (especially when replacing a vented unit). Open all water outlets to purge air from pipe work and ensure proper operation. 11) Follow the instructions for commissioning the heat pump as per heat pump installation manual. 12) Adjust timer programmer and cylinder thermostat settings in accordance with client requirements. 13) Instruct user in the operation of the unit and hand over this manual advising the owner of annual service requirements. 14) Complete the technical data label on the cylinder with legible and permanent writing. 15) Only after commissioning the DHW cylinder can the buffer be filled. This procedure must be carried out in line with the heat pump commissioning guidelines. Commissioning HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 32 4.13 Bivalent System 6) After servicing, complete the relevant Service Record section of the Benchmark Checklist located on the inside back pages of this document. To meet with warranty requirements the cylinder must be serviced annually. If the system is drained completely for an internal inspection, ensure the hot water tap remains open, connect a hose to the drain valve and ensure a safe discharge. 7) Note the set pressure of the pressure reducing valve. Remove cartridge and clean strainer in water provided in container. Reassemble pressure reducing valve ensuring the correct pressure is set. 8) Periodically the immersion heaters should be removed cleaned and the unit flushed out. Check the Oring seal for damage and replace if necessary. A torque of 40 Nm is recommended when tightening up the immersion after it has been removed and refitted. 9) Check electrical wiring connections and the condition of the cable of the immersion heater and the thermostat. The maintenance of this appliance must be carried out by a suitably qualified person only. It is recommended to maintain the unit on an annual basis. Isolate all electrical supplies from the unit before commencing work. Danger of electrical shock! 1) Draw some water from cold water tap and retain in container. 2) Isolate cold water mains supply from cylinder. 3) Briefly open temperature and pressure relief valve, assure safe discharge and check that valve is not dripping when closed. 4) 5) Briefly open expansion relief valve, assure safe discharge and check that valve is not dripping when closed. The expansion relief valve should be operated regularly to remove lime deposits and to verify that it is not blocked. Open hot water tap and release remaining pressure from unit. 10) The immersion heater boss can also be used for access to view the internal components of the cylinder. 11) Re-commission unit (see chapter 5). Note: Air vent located on top of buffer vessel; to access remove end cap. If the cylinder is not in use for excess of 1 month, it must be drained down by a competent person and recommissioned before use. Note: The immersion must be switched off at the mains before draining the cylinder.

Ensuring correct installation of the system will allow a water temperature of 60°C to be obtained inside the cylinder during DHW preparation. The Slim Line A Class heat pump will be able to achieve 60°C without immersion back up in all of the A Class cylinders, so long as the flow rate specified in the instructions is met, the pipes are insulated and the pipe runs from the heat pump to the cylinder and back are less than 15m. This is true for all cases when ambient conditions are between -2°C and +25°C. For other operating conditions, i.e. -2°C < ambient > 25°C, cylinder temperatures of approximately 55°C can be expected. Technical Data HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 39 Figure 22: Heat Exchanger Pressure Drop 2.2m 9 User Instructions 9.1 General “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 supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understanding the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.” Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the Benchmark Checklist on the inside back pages of this document and that you have signed it to say that you have received a full and clear explanation of its operation. The installer is legally required to complete a commissioning checklist as a means of complying with the appropriate Building Regulations Part G3 (England and Wales), Part P of Northern Ireland and Section 6 of Scotland. All installations must be notified to Local Area Building Control either directly or through a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to the customer who should, on receipt, write the Notification Number on the Benchmark Checklist. This product should be serviced annually to optimise its safety, efficiency and performance. The service engineer should complete the relevant Service Record on the Benchmark Checklist after each service. The Benchmark Checklist will be required in the event of any warranty work. 9.2 Operation Once the system has been fully commissioned, no user intervention should be required to fully enjoy the comfort and benefits of the unvented hot water cylinder. The hot water temperature can be set to various requirements by changing the settings on the heat pump user interface. For operation with a generic non A Class heat pump it is recommended to set the hot water temperature to between 45°C and 55°C. Higher temperatures introduce more heat loss from the unit and increase the risk of scalding significantly. User Instructions HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 40 Please read the following statements carefully as it affects your warranty: When using the A Class cylinder and heat pump, the DHW temperature is set using the heat pump user interface and can be adjusted up to 65°C to meet user requirements however the lower the set temperature the more energy efficient the system will become. When turning on a hot tap for the first time after a heat up period there might be a short surge of water. This is normal in unvented systems and does not constitute a fault. Sometimes the water may appear milky – this is due to very fine air bubbles in the water which will clear quickly. 9.2.1 Water Temperature Direct Electric Heating Before removing the cover from the immersion heater isolate appliance using isolating switch! Danger of electrical shock! Only use suitable electrically insulated equipment when working inside immersion housing. The hot water temperature achieved by the direct electric heating element can be adjusted by removing the cover from the immersion heater and adjusting the dial up or down as indicated in Figure 23. Figure 23: Adjustment Water Temperature Direct Electric Heating Element Operation HP Cylinder Installation and User Instructions R03184-4 09/15 Page 41 Dial to adjust water temperature 9.2.2 Non A Class Heat Pump Water Temperature The water temperature achieved by the heat pump heating system depends either the user interface setting or on the setting of the thermostat. When the cylinder is controlled using the heat pump sensor [A Class heat pump] this section is not applicable. The adjustment at the cylinder is carried out on the twin thermostat fitted to the cylinder as shown in Figure 24. In the event that the high temperature cut-out engages, it will be necessary to manually reset the thermostat. Use a suitable electrically insulated tool to push the manual reset button and inform the installer. If the domestic hot water temperature is controlled by a sensor connected to the heat pump control unit, the thermostat on the cylinder should be turned to maximum to avoid any conflicting control signals. Manual re-set Figure 24: Adjustment Water Temperature Auxiliary Source 9.3 Maintenance The maintenance of this appliance must be carried out by a suitably qualified person only. It is recommended to maintain the unit on an annual basis. Isolate all electrical supplies from the unit before commencing work. Danger of electrical shock! See section 6.
