E5X series
–
50°C Limited Water Heater
An E5X series water heater delivers water not exceeding 50°C in accordance with AS 3498. The risk of scald
injury will be reduced.
There is no need to fit a temperature limiting device to satisfy the requirements of the Plumbing Code of
Australia if an E5X series 50°C limited water heater is installed and serving an application where 50°C is the
maximum permissible hot water temperature at the outlet of a fixture used primarily for personal hygiene, such
as in a bathroom or ensuite.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT, THERMOSTATS, TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The temperature sensors control the maximum water temperature in conjunction with the control system.
Water is heated to either 70°C or 80°C depending on the mode of operation. These temperature settings are
fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Power is only used when heating is required. There is no need to switch the water heater off when it is not in
use, except when you are on an extended holiday.
Each thermostat and its protective over temperature cut out is mounted inside the front covers of the water
heater. The thermostats act as a backup safety device to control the electricity supply to the heating unit. A
‘fault’ may result if a thermostat is adjusted from the factory setting.
The thermostats must not be adjusted
or tampered with
.
Note:
A service call to a PowerStore Grid Interactive water heater as a result of a thermostat having been
adjusted will not be covered under the product warranty, and a service charge will be made for this call-out.
PRECAUTIONS
Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking, the water heater must be
installed in a safe tray. Construction, installation and draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS 3500.4
and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
The water heater must be maintained i
n accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions. Refer
on page 16 and to
“Anode Inspection and Replacement”
on page 19.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for your application or
business you should ensure that you have back-up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should
ensure the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater were to become inoperable for any
reason. We recommend you seek advice from your local Solahart Dealer or specifier about your needs and
building back-up redundancy into your hot water supply system.
TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER
If you plan to be away from home for only a few nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on.
If it is necessary to turn off the water heater:
•
Switch off the electrical supply at the water heater isolating switch on the switchboard or at the isolating
switch at the water heater (if installed).
•
Close the cold water isolation valve at the inlet to the water heater.
TO TURN ON THE WATER HEATER
•
Open the cold water isolation valve fully on the cold water line to the water heater.
•
Switch on the electrical supply at the water heater isolating switch on the switchboard and at the isolating
switch at the water heater (if installed).
When the power is turned on, the green LED will commence to flash to indicate the water heater is heating.
GOING ON HOLIDAY?
If you plan to be away from home for one or two nights, we suggest you leave the water heater switched on.
However, if you plan to stay away more than a few nights, conserve energy by switching the water heater off
at either the switchboard or isolating switch (if one is installed).
