1. GENERAL

1.1 Description of the heater

Construction of the heater is in accordance with the European standard for water heaters

or sanitary use. The heaters are suitable for use with a working pressure of up to 7 bar.

The cylindrical tank is made from sheet steel. For protection against corrosion, the inside

of the tank is glass-lined. The tank is also fitted with magnesium anodes for extra

protection against corrosion. A thick, replaceable insulation jacket minimizes heat loss.

1.2 Controls.

ST models are supplied without controls.

2. FOR THE INSTALLER

2.1 Installation

A qualified, competent installer must install the hot water storage tanks in accordance

with local valid regulations and codes.

Location needs to be chosen to prevent damage in case of tank leakage (e.g. place tank in

a drain pan or near a floor drain of sufficient capacity). For mounting of the jacket see

separate attached Kit installation sheet.

2.2 Water connections

The water heater is suitable for connection to vented, un-vented and pumped pressurized

systems. In each case appropriate valves and fittings should be used to ensure the system

complies with the governing codes and appropriate building requirements. The maximum

working pressure is 7 bars. A typical installation diagram for an un-vented installation is

as follows:

Back-up

element

1 = drain (on small tanks only)

2 = valve

3 = check valve

4 = pressure relive valve

5 = circulation pump sanitary water

6 = temperature sensor for boiler three way valve

A = circulation line

B = warm water

C = cold water

E = boiler water hot

F = boiler water return

Optional backup elements are available for field installation up to 6 kW input. Models with fixed internal heat exchanger

are also available.

2.3 Commissioning

2.3.1 Filling the tank

1. Check if any installed drain valve is closed.

2. Open the cold-water supply valve to the heater

3. Open all hot-water outlets in order to bleed all air from the system. The heater is

filled when cold water runs out of all outlets.

4. Close all hot water taps

2.3.2 Start up

Check if the heater is filled with water and that the primary system is ready. Open water

supply and return valves.

2.4 Shutting down

For longer periods:

1. Close the cold-water tap.

1. If there is any risk of frost damage, drain the tank completely.

2.5 Maintenance

The heater must be checked and cleaned regularly (at least once a year) by an accredited

installer, so that correct operation is guaranteed.

2.5.1 Anodes

The life of the anode is determined by the quality and quantity of the water flowing

through the heater. Therefore, we recommend the anodes to be checked regularly –

preferably simultaneously with an internal inspection of the glass-lined tank. In order to

determine the frequency of replacement of the anode, the waterside of the boiler must be

checked three months after installation. The anodes must be replaced, if more than 60%

has dissolved at any point on their length.

Procedure:

1. Close the cold-water inlet tap.

2. Relieve pressure from the heater completely by opening a hot water tap.

3. Remove the insulation package.

4. Unscrew and inspect the anode. Replace when used for more than 60 %.

5. Replace the anode. Attention: the anode must be in contact with the metal tank. If

the tank and the anode are electrically isolated, the anode cannot function. This

could have a negative effect on the life of the tank.

6. Assemble everything in reverse order.

7. Fill the heater as described in par. 2.2.1.

2.5.2 Descaling

Calcium precipitation depends on the water properties and the hot water demand. In

addition, calcium precipitation in the tanks increases at high water temperatures. A clean

out opening is located at the front for inspecting and descaling the tank. The clean out

opening can be reached via the cover plate on the outer jacket of the tank. Empty the tank

before opening the clean out opening. Descaling must be carried out with suitable

descaling agents, which can be ordered form A.O. Smith distributors.

To ensure that the clean out cover is watertight, the flange gasket should be replaced after

every inspection.

2.6 Spare parts

It is important to mention the tank type, model and full serial number when

ordering spare parts. The spare parts can be determined on the basis of these

numbers.

3. FOR THE END USER.

Warning

An accredited installer must install the tank and perform start up of the system.

3.1 Filling the tank

1. Check if drain valve is closed (if mounted).

2. Open the cold-water tap to the heater and all hot-water outlets in order to bleed all air

from the system. The heater is filled when cold water runs out of all outlets.

3. Close all taps at the hot-water outlet points. The tank is now under (water mains)

pressure. At this pressure the pressure relief valve must not release any water.

3.2 Start up of the system.

1. Check if the heater is filled with water and that the primary system is ready.

2. Set the controls on the primary circuit t of the boiler to the required sanitary water

temperature.

3. Open boiler supply and return valves (if installed)

3.3 Shutting down

For longer periods

1. Close the cold-water tap.

2. If there is any risk of frost damage, drain the tank completely.

3.4 Maintenance

The pressure relieve valve must be tested regularly by opening test lever for some

seconds. The water must run out in a full jet. Close lever again, making sure it sets

properly and the valve is not leaking. Check if the drainpipe is open. It is recommended

to arrange for a maintenance contract with the installer.

4. WARRANTY

4.1 Warranty in general

If within one year of the original installation date of the tank supplied by A.O. Smith any

part or component other than the tank shall prove upon examination by A.O. Smith, and

in the exclusive opinion of the latter, to be defective in material and/or

workmanship, A.O. Smith will exchange or repair such part or component.

4.2 Warranty of the tank

If within 5 years of the original installation date of the tank supplied by A.O. Smith, the

tank shall prove upon examination by A.O. Smith, and in the exclusive opinion of the

latter, to be leaking due to rust or corrosion from the waterside, A.O. Smith will supply a

complete new tank of equivalent size and quality on ex factory basis. On the replacement

tank a warranty will be granted sufficient to cover the not expired portion of the original

5 year warranty of the originally installed water heater.

WARNING: the warranty period will be reduced to 1 year from the original installation

date, if unfiltered or water softened to less than 70 ppm flows through or remains in the

tank.

4.3 Conditions for installation and use

The warranty ensuing from sections 4.1 and 4.2 will only be valid, if the following
