JOULE™ warranty to apply. Water Chemistry This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the JOULE™ warranty. This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulat- ed water supplies. However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on the water heater and its operation and/or life expectancy.

TDS content of the water. TDS, in mg/L, is approximately 70% of the conductivity in μS/ The JOULE™ warranty will not cover resultant faults to the storage cylinder if this water heater is connected at anytime to a water supply where the TDS content of the water exceeds 600 mg/L.
Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV) mounted on the side of the cylinder. This ensures that the cylinder does not have to be drained down in order to service the inlet control set. Ensure that the arrow points in the direction of the water flow. www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie...

Balanced Cold Connection If there are to be showers, bidets or monobloc taps in the installation then a balanced cold supply is necessary. There is a 22mm balanced connection on the inlet control set. Fitting The Inlet Control Group Excess pressure can lead to the cylinder bursting. The inlet control set supplied has an expansion relief valve with a 15mm connection to allow it to be connected to the tundish.

Thermostatic Mixer When installing a solar system with an unvented JOULE™ Cyclone twin coil cylinder, a ther- mostatic mixing valve should be installed. Its function is to act as an anti scald protection. The thermostatic mixer is to be set to a temperature of between 30°C and 60°C and is supplied by the...

Dead Legs The length of hot water draw off to taps and other outlets should be kept to a minimum to reduce the amount of cold water drawn off before the hot water arrives. Where there is more than one size of pipe on a dead leg, the equivalent length and size should be estimated.Where the dead leg length exceeds the recommended maximum, secondary circulation should be installed.

The immersion heater must be completely submerged in water with a minimum of 200mm of water above the top of the immersion.

Disconnect the immersion from the mains electrical supply before removing any covers. • Do not attempt to replace the immersion heater(s) with alternatives to those recommended by JOULE™. • Do not bypass the Thermal Cut-Out(s) in any circumstances. Replacing The Immersion First task is to isolate the power.

85°C ± 3°C. Both thermostats should run in series. To reset the safety cut-out and the motorised valve the reset button must be pressed in. JOULE™ cannot be responsible if alternative wiring plans are used. Before resetting the safety cut-out or altering the thermostat setting, isolate elec- trical supply to the unit before removal of the cover.
Discharge Arrangement Discharge Pipework The inlet control group should be positioned so that the discharge from both safety valves can be combined via a 15mm end feed tee, as in the diagram below. Connect the tundish and route the discharge pipe which must be routed in accordance with Building regulation - Part G3 of schedule When operating normally water will not be discharged.

Slowly manually open, for a few seconds, the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve situated on the Cyclone Air unit. Check water discharged runs freely away through the tundish and discharge pipework. Close valve, ensure water flow stops and valve reseats correctly.

Fill the indirect (primary) circuit following the boiler manufacturer’s commissioning instructions. To ensure the primary heating coil in the Cyclone Air is filled the 2-port motorised valve (sup- plied) should be manually opened by moving the lever on the motor housing to the MAN OPEN setting.
Do not turn off the water supply. Contact a competent installer for unvented water heaters to check the system. Do not tamper with any of the safety valves fitted to the Cyclone Air system, if a fault is suspected contact a competent installer.
Page 43
To recharge the air volume: Turn off the heat source to the cylinder via programmers/immersion isolation switch(es). Turn off the water supply to the Cyclone Air unit by turning off the isolating valve located before the Cold Water Combination Valve.
Maintenance General Servicing should only be carried out by competent installers and any spare parts used must be purchased from JOULE™. Never bypass any safety devices or operate the unit without them being fully opera- tional Draining Switch the electrical power off (important to avoid damage to element). Isolate boiler from the unit.
Page 45
Immersion Heater Replacement If the thermal cut out on the Immersion heater operates contact a competent installer. If the thermal cut out fault occurs again the immersion will need to be replaced. Prior to installing the replacement Immersion, ensure the o-ring is correctly positioned on the head of the Immersion and lubricate the threads before fitting.
All installations must comply with the appropriate Building Regulations and the Benchmark Log Book should be provide to the customer. The Benchmark Log Book can also be used to show that all equipment is installed in accordance with the relevant Building Regulations. www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie...
