Installation, Maintenance

and Service Part

5 Introduction

5.1 About the water heater

The AMP water heater is intended for heating

water for sanitary purposes.

The AMP is a electric storage water heater. The

electric heating elements transfer their heat

directly to the water.

5.2 Working principle

Cold water enters the tank through the water

inlet. When the water temperature drops beneath

the set temperature, the electrical heating

elements are activated and the water is heated.

The heating elements directly transfer the heat to

the water and the hot water leaves the tank

through the water outlet.

The tank of the water heater has to be

completely filled during operation. The tank at

least must remain under mains water supply

pressure at any time. Fresh cold water is

immediately added when hot water is drawn from

the water heater. The regulation thermostat on

each heating element, is equipped with a contact

thermostat. This thermostat measures the water

temperature, on the outside of the tank.

6 Safety

6.1 Safety instructions

For safety instructions on the use of the water

heater, refer to Safety (see 2) in the User part of

this manual.

Warning

Installation, maintenance and service must be

carried out by a qualified engineer in compliance

with the national and local regulations.

Warning

This appliance must be installed on a non-

flammable floor or surface.

Caution

The water heater may only be moved in an

upright position. After unpacking, make sure that

the water heater is not damaged.

Caution

Fill the water heater completely before use. Dry

firing will damage the water heater.

Note

Any leakage from the tank and/or connections

can cause damage to the immediate

environment or floors below the level of the

installation room. Install the water heater above a

waste water drain or in a suitable metal leak tray.

The leak tray must have an appropriate waste

water drain and must be at least 5 cm deep with

a length and width of at least 5 cm larger than

the water heater.

0313545_AMP_UKUK_V2.0, 03-02-2020 9

6.2 Instructions on the water heater

The water heater has some safety instructions

on its cover:

The text "A pressure relief valve must be

fitted".

The text "Mount the delivered temperature

and pressure valve in this connection".

The text "Check screwed wire connections".

6.3 Safety devices

Safety devices of the water heater:

Float switch

(boil dry protection)

The float switch monitors the water level, approximately halfway up

the tank, above the elements. If there is insufficient water present

in the tank, then the float hangs down (reed-contact open). If the

tank is filled with water then the float is moved upwards by the

water (reed-contact closed).

Overheat thermostat

The overheat thermostat detects the temperature of the water in

the tank. When the temperature become too high (>93°C) the

thermostat locks the elements. The thermostat can be manually

reset (red button) when the temperature of the water is below

20°C.

Safety devices of the installation:

Expansion valve

The expansion valve is a pressure relief valve. The expansion

valve prevents excessive pressure in the tank and back flow of

expansion water into the cold water main supply.

Non-return valve

The non-return valve prevents back flow of expansion water into

the cold water main supply.

Pressure-reducing valve

The pressure-reducing valve reduces the water mains pressure, if

necessary.

Expansion vessel

The expansion vessel is a small tank that is used to protect closed

water systems from excessive pressure, due to thermal expansion

of the water in the tank.

T&P valve (1)

(Temperature and pressure

relief valve)

The T&P valve is a temperature and pressure relief valve which is

activated when:

-The temperature exceeds 97°C.

-The pressure exceeds 7 bar.

1- All water heaters have a T&P valve connection. Lochinvar recommends to always use a T&P valve.

6.3.1 Boil Dry Protection

The boil dry protection mechanism is a float

switch which monitors the water level

approximately halfway up the tank above the

elements. If there is insufficient water present in

the tank, the float (1) hangs downwards. If the

tank is filled with water then the float is moved

upwards by the water.

6.3.1.1 Working principle

The working principle is as follows: the float arm

moves a magnet that is in contact with a reed-

contact, which is located in the black plastic tube

at the end of the float switch. The movement of

the magnet and float arm changes the magnetic

field and the reed-contact is opened or closed.

10 Installation, Commissioning, User & Maintenance Instructions

6.3.1.2 Exposure height

The exposure height (3) of the reed contact is

very important to ensure the float switch works

correctly.

The exposure height is 14 mm. This setting

may not be changed!

With an exposure height of 14 mm the switch

point is approximately halfway along the stroke

of the float. If the exposure height is set lower,

then the switch point shifts upwards. If the

exposure height is too small the contact will no

longer connect even if the float is completely

above it. In this case the device will not come

into operation. If the exposure height is set lower

than 14 mm , then the switch point shifts

downwards.

This means that the contact will already connect

upon a small upwards movement of the float. If

the exposure height is set too high then the

contact is permanently closed and the safety

mechanism does not work. This means that the

elements can come into operation without there

being sufficient water present in the device. This

will lead to the elements burning out in a very

short time and short circuit and leakage. So

never change the exposure height.

The reed contact and the float must always be

vertical. The arrow on the clamping plate on the

front must point upwards. The float switch is

secured in the tank with nut (5). By loosening nut

(4) the float switch can be set vertically.

Nut (4) is sealed with an o-ring with respect to

nut (5). The float switch must be taken out of the

device as a complete unit for checking or

replacement. (The float cannot be passed

through the opening in nut (5).) For this purpose

the device thus has to be drained.

6.3.1.3 Checking the float switch

Switch off the feed voltage and remove the fuses

from the elements. In this way the control circuit

can be tested without the elements being put into

operation.

Drain the device until the water is definitely

below the float switch. If desired the float switch

can now be removed for visual inspection. Check

the resistance of the contacts with a multimeter

and check whether the switch point is situated

approximately halfway along the stroke of the

float. (For new contacts this resistance is

between 1 and 1.5 Ohms). Screw the float switch

back into the tank and place it vertically. Check

the exposure height. Close the door and connect

the feed voltage. The safety relays must not

come in. (The opening and closing of the safety

relays is clearly audible.) Now allow water to flow

into the device. If the water presses the float

upwards, the float switch closes the control

circuit and the safety relays will close. Then drain

the device once again. The lowering of the water

level will lead to the float switch blocking the
