Below is an overview of how the settings on a pressurisation unit must be considered for normal operation.
Close, conflicting or overlapping settings will cause system instability and nuisance alarm conditions. If in any
doubt please seek advice from a Sealed System professional.
A typical venting allowance is 0.3 bar, added to the static height to give the cold fill pressure.
The Differential setting represents the allowable pressure loss before the pump activates and restores the cold
fill pressure. The Differential setting must not be greater than the system venting allowance. This will ensure
that the system remains fully flooded during normal topup conditions.

Equipment Overview
The function of this pressurisation unit is to provide a means of automated water top-up to sealed heating and
cooling systems. The equipment is designed to provide periodic water top-up to compensate for minor losses in
system pressure (e.g. slow leaks, air venting, etc.).
This equipment is not designed to cope with sudden losses of system pressure (e.g. manual draining)
or major water losses (e.g. large leaks). The equipment is also not intended to be used for water
boosting applications.
Principal of Operation
The following schematic shows the internal arrangement of a pressurisation unit:
The pressurisation unit is fitted with a break tank (1) which is filled from the mains water supply (2) via a float
operated valve (3). The break tank is fitted with a warning overflow (4) in case the break tank overfills, and a weir
overflow (5) as the primary backflow protection.
The pressurisation unit is connected into the heating system (6) via an isolation valve (7).
The pressure sensor (8) monitors the system pressure.
If the pressure sensor detects a drop-in pressure, the pump (9a) will pump water from the break tank into the
system. Once the required pressure has been reached, the pump will stop.
On twin pump models, a second pump (9b) is provided. The two pumps will run in a duty/standby/automatic
changeover configuration (i.e. the active pump will alternate with each pump start).
The pump(s) are fitted with non-return valves (10a, 10b) to prevent backflow.
A drain valve (11) is provided for draining down the unit and for commissioning purposes.

Principal of Operation
The following schematic shows the internal arrangement of a pressurisation unit:
The PressDS Plus unit is fitted with a break tank (1) which is filled from the mains water supply (2) via a
float operated valve (3). The break tank is fitted with an overflow (4) in case the break tank overfills, and a
weir overflow (5) in case the primary overflow fails. Also fitted is an additive tank (14). Additive tank is
filled with either Additive or additive, to add to the system a required mixture is required. To do this two
balancing valves are placed after each of the tanks to control the mixture water (12) and Additive (13).
(See mixture table)
Water is allowed into the Vacuum cylinder through a safety solenoid (18b), a pressure reducing valve (17)
and a special variable bypass valve (16).

Installation
This pressurisation unit is not designed to be installed in an outdoor environment. The unit must be
installed in a frost-free environment, away from precipitation and water sprays/jets. If there is a risk of
flooding, the unit must be installed on a raised plinth.
The unit is equipped with a Category 5 Weir overflow arrangement and must not be installed / sited
where damage to the local environs can occur on water egress
Please refer to the appropriate datasheet for the maximum working pressure and temperature of the
pressurisation unit. The conditions at the point of connection to the system must not exceed these
values.
Pipe Connections
To avoid damaging the float valve, the mains water supply pipe must be flushed before connection to
the pressurisation unit.
All pipe connections must be made with appropriate jointing compound/PTFE tape. If PTFE tape is
used, care must be taken to ensure that the tape does not obstruct the orifice of the fitting.
Non-return valves, pressure reducing valves and RPZ valves must not be installed between the
pressurisation unit and the heating/cooling system. These devices will prevent the pressure sensor
from reading the system pressure.
The pressurisation unit and expansion vessel should be connected to the system at the same point,
to provide a neutral pressure reading. This point of connection should be in the system return, on the
suction side of the circulation pump.

3. Forcing Pumps to Run
Turn on the power supply to the digital controller and wait for the system pressure to appear on the
display. Then, enter the code 2601 and go to the first setting in the menu, cold fill. While at this point
in the menu, holding down the (MUTE) button will force pump 1 to run, and holding down the (SET)
button will force pump 2 to run.
To bleed the pumps, the pumps must be started. Then while the pump is running, the bleed screw
must be opened until all the air has been removed and only water is being discharged. The bleed screw
can then be closed.
Failure to bleed the pumps may result in damage to the equipment, system and property.
After bleeding the pumps, close the drain valve and remove the hose from the hose tail
4. Initial Start-up
Once the isolation valve is open, the pressure sensor will be able to read the system pressure.
Turn on the power supply to the pressurisation unit. Depending on the current system pressure, the unit will respond
in one of the following ways:
If the system pressure is below the low-pressure alarm setting, the controller will display a “LOW
PRESSURE” fault and the pumps will not run. To clear this fault, either increase the system pressure
using a filling loop, or enable the system fill option on the pressurisation unit.
If the system pressure is above the high-pressure alarm setting, the controller will display a “HIGH
PRESSURE” fault. To clear this fault, use a suitable drain point to remove water from the system until
the system pressure equals the cold fill pressure.
If the system pressure is above the low-pressure alarm setting, but below the cold fill setting (by an
amount equal to the dierential setting), the pumps will start. Once the system pressure has reached
the cold fill pressure, the pump will stop.
Once the required system pressure has been reached, the controller will display the current system pressure. The
unit is now in normal operation.

5. Testing
To test the operation of the pressurisation unit while connected to the system, the system pressure must be lowered
slowly to simulate a minor leak.
This can be achieved by using a drain point on the system, the drain points on the pressurisation unit, or by manually
opening the safety relief valve.
Care must be taken not to let the pressure drop too quickly. If the system pressure falls below the low
pressure set point, a low-pressure fault will be displayed and the pumps will not run. The pressurisation
unit is not designed to cope with a sudden loss of system pressure, which would be symptomatic of a
catastrophic failure such as a burst pipe.
Once the system pressure has fallen below the cold fill setting (by an amount equal to the dierential setting), the
pump should start refilling the system. The pump will continue to run until the cold fill pressure has been reached.
This test demonstrates the primary function of the pressurisation unit. This test may be repeated at any time to
confirm the operation of the pressurisation unit.
