Installation Rig on the wall fixing bracket. Then slide down and across to the right, as indicated in diagram. STEP2: Fit the Evinox Energy Flushing Bypass & Valve Kit to the rig and then make final connections to the pipework running to the ModuSat®.
Evinox Flushing By-pass Kit Evinox flushing by-pass kit ensures that the ModuSat® unit can be isolated from the systems circuits. It includes a H – shape by-pass valve for cleaning and flushing the system, there is a strainer on the primary circuit inlet and binder points for differential pressure measurement.
Take caution of hot water Slowly close the isolation valve at the top of the unit Contact Evinox Energy The ModuSat® pump should not be used for flushing. The pump is integral to the unit and should not be used for flushing and cleaning the system.
Water treatment The quality and cleanliness of the water within both the primary and secondary circuits is vitally important to prevent damage to the ModuSat® components, and to ensure that the efficiency and service life of the unit is maintained. It is therefore necessary to fully flush and treat both primary and secondary circuits using suitable water treatment chemicals.
Please confirm with the water treatment consultants that the chemicals used and cleaning method statement complies with the requirements set out in this section. Evinox Energy do not take responsibility for approving inhibitors used for dosing the system. Warranty due to Water Quality The warranty of the ModuSat®...
Follow the instructions Any damage caused by an incorrect connection will invalidate the warranty. Evinox Energy cannot accept any responsibility for incorrect wiring. The ModuSat® wiring board is located within the ModuSat® itself under a removable metal cover. To access the connection board, the full front case cover should be removed. The connection board is found in the centre of the unit to your left.
Doing so may invalidate the warranty. Connection Terminations Evinox Energy strongly recommend in accordance with best practice that all wiring connections to the board, especially the BUS and room controller are terminated using ‘bootlace ferrule’...
ModuSat® Connection Board Please Note: When connecting external valves or pumps to the ModuSat control board, it must be ensured that each connection does not exceed 1amp @ 220/240V (AC). 2551868A...

SETTING INTO OPERATION / COMISSIONING Evinox Commissioning Engineers The unit should be commissioned by Evinox Energy commissioning engineers to validate the warranty unless otherwise specified by Evinox Energy. System Checklist Prior Commissioning It is important that the system is fully ready for the works to be carried out.
Please note: The rocker switch below the commissioning push button is the Pump Manual Override. This should NOT be operated or used by persons other than Evinox Energy engineers as it is for fault diagnostic use only. Setting unit into operation 6.3.1 Pressure independent control valve...
DHW outlet from the plate heat exchanger to ensure that the DHW to outlets does not exceed the safe temperatures as an additional fail safe protection. The blending valve is set by an Evinox Energy engineer at the commissioning. It should be noted that as both pressure and flow rates influence the mixed water temperature it is most important that these are checked and verified during installation / initial checks.
6.3.3 Pump Evinox ModuSat® unit has an integral Wilo Pulse-width modulation (PWM) circulation pump. Please note: When the unit is switched over to heating mode the pump will run for 2 mins prior to the heating PICV opening, this is not a fault in the unit but a normal control function as the HIU assesses the current heating circuit flow temperature.
The below graphs show the available pump head for different ModuSat® models depending on the secondary flow rate. The secondary apartment pressure drop (excluding the unit) should not exceed the value shown. ModuSat XR/XR-ECO XX-10 ModuSat XR/XR-ECO XX-20 Flow rate l/s...
Evinox Technical Personnel Evinox Technical Personnel who will visit the project during the course of the installation and at completion to arrange for final commissioning and calibration, do so to assist the contractor and install team to deal with any questions and queries.
Replacement parts are chargeable until passed as faulty by Evinox Energy, when a credit will be provided. Any parts that have failed as a result of poor servicing or misuse will not be covered by our warranty.
