2. Component check list
The product comes with the following components. Please check through the components supplied
and ensure that all parts are present:
•Product with sheathed heating elements, digital thermostat, TFT screen and manual reset ther-
mal cut-out.
• T/P valve 0.7 MPa 90ºC and electrolytic fittings.
•Installation and user manual.
Please contact our Technical Service department on 0203 321 5929 to find out how to acquire
the safety fittings.
3. General requirements
3.1. Building regulations
The domestic hot water cylinder MUST be installed by a competent person in accordance with
section G3 of the current Building Regulations.
3.2. Important
It is important that the installer reads and understands these instructions and unpacks and
familiarises themselves with the equipment before commencing the installation. Failure to observe
these installation instructions could invalidate the guarantee.
3.3. Water supply
The water supply to the cylinder should be potable water direct from a public mains water supply with
any water treatment equipment functioning correctly.
For optimum performance the unit should be fed via a 15 mm or 22 mm diameter supply pipe direct
from the mains water entry point to the property and supplies a maximum pressure of 0.9 MPa. The
unit can operate with a minimum supply pressure of 0.15 MPa and a flow rate of at least 20 litres per
minute, but flow from the outlets will be low if several outlets are used simultaneously. The cylinder
control equipment is factory set to limit the system operating pressure to 0.3 MPa. The maximum
supply pressure into the pressure-reducing valve is 0.9 MPa.
3.4. Taps and fittings
All taps and fittings incorporated in the unvented system should have a rated operating pressure of
0.7 MPa or above.

5
SIENA
Digital electronic water heater
3.5. Location
The unit is designed to be vertically wall mounted, indoors, in a frost-free environment. When choosing
a suitable location for the cylinder, consideration should be given to the routing of the discharge
pipe to a convenient point and also the availability of an adequate power supply for connecting the
sheathed heating elements.
The wall onto which the cylinder is mounted should be of good sound masonry construction capable
of holding the weight of the cylinder when full of water (see Technical Specifications on page 36 for
weights).
The position of the cylinder should provide easy access for servicing the controls and replacing the
sheathed heating element should the need arise.
Pipe runs should be made as short as possible and lagged to prevent heat loss.
To allow for servicing and repairs, the product must be mounted at least 540 mm above any surface
or object, so that access can be gained to electric connectors and the heating elements may be
removed (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Mounting
The unit should be mounted close to an external wall so that the discharge pipe D2 (see Figure 2,
page 7) can be routed to a safe visible place.
The tundish should be mounted in a visible location so that it may easily be inspected.

SIENA
Digital electronic water heater
3.6. Storage and handling
If the cylinder is not being installed immediately, it should remain in its original box with all pipe end
protective caps in situ to prevent damage. We recommend that the cylinder be transported to its
installation position with the outer box in place.
4. Plumbing installation
4.1. Connections
All pipework connections to the cylinder MUST be made in accordance with Figure 1 (page 5) and
Figure 2 (page 7). A drain cock (not supplied) should be fitted in the position shown in Figure 2 (page 7)
to facilitate draining of the cylinder.
4.2. Electrical fittings
The electrical fittings (Figure 2, page 7) must be fitted to the product. If not, the guarantee will be null
and void. Check the T/P Relief Valve (Figure 2, page 7) to ensure it is connected with the electrical
fittings. If not, please contact us by telephoning 0203 321 5929.
4.3. Cold water supply
For best results, the cylinder should be fed by an uninterrupted supply pipe into the pressure reducing
valve (PRV) (Figure 2, page 7) with a maximum supply pressure of 0.9 MPa. The cylinder should not
be used on any system with a supply pressure below 0.15 MPa and a flow rate of less than 20 litres
per minute.
4.4. Temperature and pressure relief valve
The temperature and pressure relief valve (T/P Valve) is supplied (Figure 2, page 7). Once the T/P
valve is fitted it should not be removed from the cylinder or tampered with in any way. The valve is pre
calibrated to lift at 0.7 MPa or 90oC and any attempt to adjust it will render the guarantee null and void
and could affect the safety performance of the unit.
The outlet of the T/P valve should be routed in 15 mm copper piping in a downward direction alongside
the product to the tundish in a frost-free environment. The outlet of the expansion relief valve must be
T’d into this pipe before the tundish so that any water exiting either valve can be seen draining through
the tundish – see Figure 2 (page 7) and Figure 3 (page 9).

4.5. Pressure reducing valve
The pressure reducing valve (Figure 2, page 7) should be installed in the cold water supply to the
water heating unit with the arrow pointing in the direction of water flow as shown in Figure 2 (page 7).
This can be connected to a maximum supply pressure of 0.9 MPa.
4.6. Expansion relief valve
This must be installed between the pressure reducing valve and the water heating unit in accordance
with Figure 2 (page 7). No other valve should be fitted between this valve and the cylinder. The
expansion relief valve contains a non return valve.
4.7. Expansion vessel
A suitable expansion vessel (Figure 2, page 7) with a pre-charge pressure of 0.15 or 0.3 MPa is
available in an optional kit for fitting to all water heating units in the range. The expansion vessel
MUST be fitted to the safety group. The expansion vessel MUST be positioned with the entry point at
the bottom – see Figure 2 above.
IMPORTANT: Regular checks must be carried out to ensure that the expansion vessel is correctly
pressurised to 0.15 or 0.3 MPa at all times. – see Figure 2 (page 7).

4.8. Tundish
The tundish (Figure 2, page 7) must not be positioned above or in close proximity to any electrical
current carrying devices or wiring. The installation should conform with the requirements of section
4.9 below.
4.9. Discharge arrangement
The tundish (Figure 2, page 7) must be installed in a position so that it is clearly visible by the user. In
addition, the discharge pipe (Figure 2, page 7) from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where
there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the discharge, be of metal and:
A) Be at least one pipe size larger than the normal outlet size of the safety device unless its total
equipment hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long, i.e. discharge pipes between
9m and 18m equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger then the normal outlet
size of the safety device, between 18m and 27m at least three sizes larger and so on. Bends must be
taken into account in calculating the flow resistance. Refer to Figure 3 (page 9), Table 1 (page 10) and
Calculated Example 1 (page 10).
B) Have a vertical section of pipe at least 300 mm long below the tundish before any elbows or bends
in the pipework.
C) Be installed with a continuous fall.
D) Have discharges visible at both tundish and the final point of discharge, but where this is not
possible or practically difficult, examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are:
• Ideally below a fixed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gully.
• External surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed areas, etc.) are acceptable
providing that where children play or otherwise come into contact with discharges, a wire cage
or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact whilst maintaining visibility.
• Discharge at high level, e.g. into a metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the
discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high
temperature discharges of water and 3 m from any plastic guttering system that would collect
such discharges (tundish visible).
• Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges such as in blocks of flats, the number served
should be limited to not more than six systems so that any installation discharging can be traced
reasonably easily. The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size larger than
the largest individual discharge pipe to be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are
installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent (i.e. in dwellings occupied
by blind, or disabled people), consideration should be given to the installation of an electrically
operated device to warn when discharge takes place.

Calculated Example 1
The example below is for a 1/2” diameter temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4
22mm elbows and a length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge.
The maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a
1/2” diameter temperature relief valve is 9.0m.
Subtract the resistance for 4 x no 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m.
Therefore, the maximum permitted length equates to: 5.8m.
5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m, therefore, calculate the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from a 1/2” diameter temperature
relief valve equates to: 18m.
Subtract the resistance for 4 No 28mm elbows at 1.0 each = 4m.
Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 14m.
As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm diameter copper pipe will be satisfactory.
5. Electrical installation
WARNING - This equipment and pipework must be earthed. All electrical wiring must be carried out
by a competent person and in accordance with the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.
5.1. The sheathed heating elements
Two parallel 1.2kW 230v 50Hz sheathed heating elements are pre fitted to the cylinder at the factory.
They are wired in accordance with the instructions given in Figure 4.
5.2. Wiring diagram
The power supply to the product must be via a double pole isolator switch or controller, having
contact separation of at least 3 mm, to comply with BS 6141 and must be fully earthed. In case of an
electric problem, check that the wiring as follows:
A) The earth wire is connected to the terminal on the cylinder marked with the earth symbol.

WARNING - Do not switch on the electricity supply until instructed to do so in the commissioning
procedure and once the product is full of water.
6. Filling and commissioning
• Check that the expansion vessel charge pressure is 0.15 or 0.3 MPa.
• Check that all water and electric connections are correctly configured.
• Open the main stopcock and fill the unit. Open successive hot taps starting with the tap furthest
from the product. Leave each tap open for a few moments to allow all air and debris from the
system to exit. Close all of the taps.
• Turn off the mains water supply to the cylinder and drain the system through the drain cock.
• Refill the cylinder with hot taps open and close when water flows freely.
• Manually lift (by rotating the knob) both the expansion relief and the temperature and pressure
relief valves for a short period to remove trapped air from behind the valve seating and to check
the correct function of the discharge arrangement.
• Check all joints for leaks and rectify as necessary.
• With the product full of water, switch on the electricity supply. Check that the cylinder heats the
water and the thermostat operates. Turn on the hot taps to check that warm water is delivered.
• Check that while the unit is heating up, no water exits from either the expansion relief valve or the
temperature and pressure relief valve. If water does exit through the valves check the expansion
vessel pressure and installation.
• Increase the temperature to maximum and allow the unit to heat and the temperature to stabilise.
Check that no water discharges from the valves. Turn on the hot taps to drain the product of hot
water. Set the thermostat to the required temperature and allow the product to reheat ready for use.
