Installer’s Guide

Full and detailed installation instructions

are in the Installer’s Guide, included

inside the water heater’s carton.

Location

The water heater should be located as

close as possible to the most frequently

used hot water outlet. Ensure that the

data plate is clearly visible and provide

adequate access for service to the

thermostat, relief valve and anode.

Note: All models are equipped with a

sacricial anode, accessible through the

top cover. Allow 50% of the height of

the water heater for clearance above to

replace the anode.

We recommend a plinth be installed

under the water heater where the

water heater is subjected to wet

conditions

A properly drained overow tray must

be used where property damage could

occur from water spillage. (See AS/

NZS3500.4 for further details.)

Note: Warranty does not cover

consequential damage due to heater

leakage.

Safety

This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Installation Requirements

This water heater must be installed

by a licensed tradesperson, and in

accordance with:

• AS/NZS3500.4 “National Plumbing

and Drainage Code Hot Water

Supply Systems – Acceptable

Solutions”.

• Clause G12 of the New Zealand

building code.

• Local authority regulations.

• Outside Australia and New Zealand,

please refer to local plumbing and

building codes and regulations.

• Notice to Victorian customers from

the Victorian Plumbing Industry

Commission – this water heater must

be installed by a licensed person as

required by the Victorian Building Act

(1993). Only a licensed person will

give you a compliance certicate,

showing that the work complies with

all the relevant Standards and only a

licensed person will have insurance

protecting their workmanship for 6

years.

Water Supply Pressure

This water heater is designed for direct

connection to water supply pressures of

no greater than:

All Models – 800kPa

Where the mains pressure can exceed

or uctuate beyond the pressure shown

above, a pressure limiting device

(complying with AS1357) must be tted

in the cold water inlet supply. This device

must be installed after the isolating

valve and set below the pressure shown

above. Note during periods of lower

demand water pressure may increase.

Pool Heating

This water heater must not be used for

pool heating.

Pressure & Temperature Relief

Valve

The Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve

is supplied loose with the water heater.

The valve rating is:

All Models – 1000kPa

The PTR valve must be installed directly

into the top socket marked “RELIEF

VALVE”. The drain line from this valve

must run in a continuously downward

direction in a frost-free ambient position

with the discharge end left open to

atmosphere permanently.

The PTR Valve is not intended to enable

connection of the water heater to

supplementary energy sources such as

solar panels or slow combustion stoves

(refer AS/NZS 3500.4 for guidance on

these types of installations).

Open the PTR Valve for approximately

10 seconds by lifting the lever on the

valve to ensure water is relieved to waste

through the relief drain pipe. Lower lever

gently and check that it closes correctly.

Plumbing Connections

Owner’s Manual – Dux Electric Boosted Solar

H3161 025248 Rev. D

The PTR Valve must not be tampered

with or removed. The water heater must

not be operated unless this valve is

tted and in working order.

The PTR Valve should be checked for

adequate performance or replaced at

intervals not exceeding 5 years, or less

in areas where local regulations apply.

Important: The PTR Valve and its

drain outlet pipe must not be sealed or

blocked. It is normal for the PTR valve

to leak a small amount of water during

heating cycles.

Danger

Failure to operate the relief valve easing

lever at least once every six (6) months

may result in a problem with the water

heater and in some cases the tank may

explode.

Warning: A separate drain line must be

run for this relief valve. It is not permitted

to couple drain lines from relief valves

into a single common drain line.

Cold Water Connection

An approved isolating valve, non

return valve, line strainer (optional but

recommended), and union must be

tted between the supply main and the

RP¾"/20mm T tting connected to the

socket in the water heater.

All ttings must be approved by the

relevant Authority and in accordance to

the plumbing code.

Hot Water Connection

The hot water line should be connected

to the “OUTLET” socket on the tank.

Note: Once all connections have been

properly made, ll tank by opening

the cold water inlet and bleed all lines

according to appropriate plumbing code.

Safety Information

For safe performance this water heater

is tted with:

• an over-temperature energy cut-out

thermostat

• a combination Pressure &

Temperature Relief Valve.

These devices must not be tampered

with or removed. The water heater must

not be operated unless both of these

devices are tted and in working order.

The element cover should be removed

only by a qualied electrician. The

electrical power supply must be

isolated at the main electrical supply

switchboard before the water heater

electrical cover is removed.

Insulation of Pipes

All hot water pipes must be insulated

with UV stabilized insulation suitable

for solar working temperatures, e.g.

Armaex Insulation. Please check local

regulations regarding the use of hot

water supply pipework other than pipes

made of copper.

Temperature Protection

All solar water heaters have the

ability to produce hot water very

quickly. To reduce the risk of scald

injury, it is mandatory under the

requirements of Australian Standard

AS/NZS3500.4:2003 that a suitably

approved temperature control device be

tted to the hot water supply to outlets

used primarily for personal hygiene.

This valve should be checked at regular

intervals to ensure its operation and

settings remain correct.

Note: This water heater is supplied

with a tempering valve. Install the

valve according to the manufacturer’s

recommendations. Any adustments to

the valve should be made according to

the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The tempering valve should be checked

at regular intervals to ensure its

operation and settings remain correct.

Installer’s Guide

Full installation instructions for the

collectors are in the Installer’s Guide,

included inside the water heater’s carton.

Safety

Do not commence an installation until

you have satised yourself that all safety

issues associated with working on and

lifting components onto a roof have

been addressed.

Local Authority Regulations

All work associated with the installation

must comply with local authority

regulations, including AS/NZS 3500.4.2.

Where these installation instructions and

local regulations are in conict, local

regulations must prevail.

Location of Collectors

There are several factors to consider in

selecting the collector location site:

• For best performance, the collectors

need to face true north. Due to the

high solar energy levels experienced

in Australia, installations on angles

of up to 45° away from true

north should not have a major

effect on the annual solar output.

Consequently, installations up

to 45° away from true north

are acceptable. See Collector

Orientation Compass on page 9.

• If the collectors are installed with an

east facing bias, the best solar input

is achieved in the morning and if

there is a west facing bias, the best

solar input is in the afternoon.

• The collectors should be installed

with a minimum inclination of 10°

and a maximum inclination of

45°. See Collector Inclination Guide

on page 9.

• Careful site inspection is required to

ensure the selected location is not

subjected to shading from adjacent

trees or buildings at any time of the

day, but particularly between 9am

and 3pm, the highest solar input

times.

• Remember that shadows are longer

in winter than in summer, so a

site that is free of shadows from

adjacent objects in summer may

have some shadows in winter.

• To optimise efciency, the collectors

should be as close as possible to

the storage tank.

• For best performance, the collectors

should be located no more than

20m from the storage tank.

• Ensure that the roof structure is

suitable to support the weight of

the collectors. The collectors weigh

approximately 40kg each when full.
