Installation
A Scale Manager 2 kit comprises of the following:
- One
electronic descaler
- One
voltage transformer (240v -15v AC)
- Antenna
cable with red plug
- Antenna
cable with black plug
- Five
plastic cable ties (1 spare)
- One
attachable Black antenna plug
- One
attachable Red antenna plug
Please
Note: - Ensure antennae cables do not
come into contact with each other
- Ideally
a 125mm +(5"+) straight run of pipe is required for each antenna
coil
- Direction
of Water Flow is immaterial
- Connect
red plugs to red sockets and black to black
- Scale
Manager II is effective on all pipes (copper, plastic, lead, steel etc)
- Performance
is not impaired if the pipe is painted
- The
Control Unit can be fitted at any angle or plane
- A
13-amp socket is required for the transformer
The ideal
location to install Scale Manager 2 is near the entry point of the rising main,
before any junctions. The antennae coils operate independently, and can
be positioned on separate pipes should you not have an uninterrupted pipe run
of 250mm (10"). Should the inlet pipe T off within 125mm of the stopcock,
position the coils as fig 1. If the inlet pipe available is over 125mm
(5") but under 250mm (10") position as fig 2 (one coil in the centre before the
T, and the other on the pipe with the highest consumption).
The antennae coils require a minimum
gap between them of 50mm (2"). It
is also necessary that the coils are at least 40mm (1½")
from elbows, joints or junctions
Fitting:- The diagram below may be of assistance.
- Position
the Scale Manager 2 control unit close to the water inlet pipe, allowing sufficient
space to connect the antennae and power plugs.
- Connect
the RED plugged antenna to a RED socket marked OUT Red
- Pass
the antenna cable over the front of the pipe
- Attach
using a cable tie
- Closely
coil the wire around the pipe 12 times in the direction of the arrows
- Tighten
the coil and secure with a cable tie.
- Leave
sufficient wire to reach the remaining RED socket - trim off the excess. Connect
the lose RED antenna plug to the cable by pulling off the plastic insulation
cover (pliers may be needed) - thread wire through the insulation cover - trim
off 5mm (¼") of insulation from the wire - connect to the plug via
the screw terminal - replace the insulation cover - connect to the RED socket
on the control unit.
- Repeat
the above with the BLACK plugged antenna starting at 2. (Connect the BLACK plugged
antenna to the BLACK socket marked OUT Black)
- Plug
the transformer into a 13-amp socket, connect to the socket on the control unit
and switch on.
The power LED will illuminate pulsing
for 7 seconds whilst carrying out a self-diagnostic routine. The R.F. & D.I.C
de-scaling bar graph LED's will then illuminate showing de-scaling is in progress,
and will cycle at a rate of 1.26 seconds. Each LED represents 650 magnetic
pulses, totalling 6,500 per second through each of the antenna coils.
