2.2 Intended use
The unit hydraulically balances and separates the primary
and secondary flow in the installation, in combination
with the (fully) automatic removal of air, gasses, and
(magnetic) dirt from water and water/glycol mixtures.
The unit is installed within a system. The system controls
the unit, so the unit does not operate on its own.
2.3 Operating conditions
The unit is suitable for use in systems filled with clean
water or mixtures of water and glycol up to 50%. The
unit can be used in combination with chemicals /
inhibitors approved according to local directives. Please
check that it is compatible with the materials used to
construct your installation. For more information contact
your supplier. Operation in combination with other fluids
may result in irreparable damage.
The unit should be used within the limits of the technical
specifications as given in chapter 3. In case of doubt,
always contact the supplier.
The unit is not suited for outdoor use.

5 INSTALLATION AND
COMMISSIONING
5.1 Installation conditions
•Install the unit on a frost-free, well-ventilated place.
•Install the unit in accordance with the local
guidelines and rules.
•Install the unit stress free and with the body in
vertical position.
•Do not use the unit as a support for pipework.
•Do not weld the unit to the pipework or other
external items.
•Do not modify the unit.
•Apply the separately supplied product labels if the
labels on the product are not visible; for instance
after the unit has been insulated.
•Make sure that there is enough space to replace the
dry pocket at the bottom (Xr). Refer to section 3.4.
•The lifting lugs may only be used during the
installation.
•The unit operates independent of the flow
direction.
•Do not obstruct the automatic air vent and make
sure that the automatic air vent is always easily
accessible.
•A tube can be fitted to the air vent to lead away the
released (smelly) air. Excessive dirt particles or foam
forming might cause a temporary leakage of the
automatic air vent.
•The unit (except DN50 and DN65) has a sensor port
(G½") at every branch. These sensor ports are
blinded. Sensors can be mounted by removing the
blind plug from the ports. Make sure there is
enough space for mounting a sensor. The sensor
can only be fitted leak-proof with a thread sealant.
•If a drain pipe is fitted, make sure that this pipe is
fitted stress and vibration free to the drain valve.
Preferably, a flexible pipe or pipe parts should be
used (e.g. a hose).
5.2 Unpack
The unit is delivered in a crate.
1. Open the crate.
2. Remove the plastic seal bag.
3. Check the unit for transport damage.
WARNING
•Installation and maintenance may only
be carried out by a qualified installer.
•When working on the unit, always
ensure there is no pressure in the
installation, let it cool down and remove
the water from the unit.
WARNING
Do not touch the unit or the pipework when
the system is in operation. The surfaces may
be hot and touching them may cause burns.
CAUTION
•Do not use the drain valve for (re)filling.
•Always install the unit vertically, with
the automatic air vent on top and the
dry pocket at the bottom.
WARNING
To prevent damage to the unit, do not hoist
the unpacked unit.

5.3 Lift the unit
1. Connect the safety hooks to the lifting lugs.
2. Make sure that the lifting chains (or straps) are
tight.
3. Lift the unit.
4. If it is necessary to temporarily put down the unit,
put blocks under the unit and make sure the unit
rests with the main body on the blocks.
5.4 Install the unit
5.4.1 Mount the unit
1. Lift the unit between the boiler/chiller (primary side)
and the system (secondary side).
2. Attach the pipework to the flanges.
3. Torque the fasteners to the correct torque value of
the pipework.
5.4.2 Install the drain valve
1. Remove the blind plug.
2. Install the drain valve. Torque the drain valve to the
correct torque value. Refer to section 3.5.
5.4.3 Finish the installation
1. Shut off the drain valve.
2. Install the safety plug.
3. Remove the protective tape from the dry pocket.
4. Attach the label with drain instructions to the dry
pocket, near the drain valve.
•Use approved lifting chains or straps
with safety hooks.
•Use lifting equipment that can carry the
weight of the unit (WLL). Refer to
section 3.1.
CAUTION
The hoist angle may not exceed 60°.
WARNING
Do not stand under the load.
CAUTION
Make sure that the unit can move freely.
CAUTION
Do not put the bottom of the unit on the
floor. The dry pocket may get damaged
when it rests on the floor. Use the blocks.
NOTE
•For heating installations, install the
pipes of the system flow line to the
upper flanges and the return line to
the lower flanges.
•For cooling installations, install the
pipes of the system flow line to the
lower flanges and the return line to
the upper flanges.
NOTE
Make sure that there is enough space to
operate the valve. If there is not enough
space, rotate the dry pocket. Refer to
section 7.3.

5.4.4 Test the system
1. If the installation is tested with compressed air,
temporarily shut off the automatic air vent with a
cap R½ (A, not supplied).
2. Do the test.
3. If a cap R½ is installed, remove the cap R½.
5.5 Commissioning
The system must be commissioned and running to verify
if the unit works properly.
At the first use, the automatic air vent might drip a bit of
moist, but that is not a problem.
When the system is running, do the checks as follows:
•Leak check
•Carefully pull and return the handle of the dry
pocket to see if the magnet can be pulled down and
return to its correct position
•Air check to see if air is released from the automatic
air vent
