connections onto the heater terminal block. Brown to Brown, 
Blue to Blue (Fig. 2d).

SAFETY: It could be possible to mis-locate the heater  
crimps on to the heater terminal block tags. Ensure that 
the heater crimps are properly located onto the heater 
terminal block tags and fully locked on. Attempt to pull 
the crimps off the tags to ensure full attachment.

31. Refit the end plate and lid.

32. Move the unit to its working location. Ensure a space of at least 

50cm to the right of the unit to allow access.

33. Connect the cold water supply to the mains water inlet. The 

tubing selected should have a safe working pressure of at 
least equal to the pressure of the water supply and should be 
adequately secured with hose clips.

 

DO NOT TURN ON WATER SUPPLY

34. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED!

 

Carry out the electrical installation. This should only be carried 
out by a suitably qualified electrician.

 

The A4000D is classed as permanently connected equipment. 
The earth spigots should pass a high current (ie. >200mA).

 

The equipment is supplied with 1.5m of flexible, triple 
core, circular cable to the following specification:                                                                           
4.0mm², to BS 6500 or equivalent and <HAR> or BASEC 
approved.

 

Connection to the mains electrical supply should be via a 
double pole 30mA Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent 
protection (RCBO) isolating circuit breaker switch with a 
continuous current carrying capacity of 30A at 250V and 
overcurrent of 30A.

 

These devices should be sited near to the equipment and clearly 
marked ‘Disconnect device for Aquatron water still’

 

DO NOT SWITCH ON ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

35. Connect the reservoir water level sensor WLS (Fig. 2, item 14) to 

the A4000D and secure with a tie wrap. Place the glass pressure 
bell in the collection reservoir, following the instructions given 
on page 19.

36. Operate the A4000D Waterstill as per Operating Instructions 

and check for leaks.

37. Fit the Perspex viewing screen.

20. Take the 16mm earth spigot and place the 16mm tubing part of 

it into a beaker of hot water for approximately 20 – 30 seconds; 
this will make the tubing more supple. Connect the 16mm 
tubing to the front boiler level control drain connection (below 
the Rotaflo stopcock). Secure with a tie wrap.

21. Take the 1m length of 16mm hose from hose kit I/WH48/3/B. 

Place one end into a beaker of hot water for approximately 
20 – 30 seconds. Thread the tube through the hole (Fig. 2, item 
18) until approximately 300mm of tubing is inside the cabinet. 
Connect to the 16mm earth spigot and secure with a tie wrap.

22. Pull the 16mm hose back out of the cabinet until a gap of 

approximately 5mm exists between the boiler level control and 
the boiler connection.

23. Place the boiler plastic coupling split nut and central part 

onto the boiler connection. Connect the boiler level control to 
the boiler, ensuring that the internal seal of the boiler plastic 
coupling is fitted inside the boiler connection  and the boiler 
level control connection. Tighten the boiler plastic coupling. 

24. Locate the tube assemblies inside the cabinet and connect the 

numbered connectors as follows:

 

1 – Bottom connection of rear condenser.

 

2 – Bottom connection of front condenser.

 

3 – Top connection of rear condenser.

 

4 – Top connection of front condenser.

 

5 – Front Boiler Level Control.

25. Pass the remaining length of 8mm tubing through hole (Fig. 2, 

item 17).

26. Loosen the black cap on the boiler level control. Fit the funnel 

into the top of the boiler level control and tighten the black 
cap.

27. Remove the heater black cap and rubber ring from the rear 

boiler. Place the black cap onto one of the heaters until it is 
approximately 25mm from the electrical connectors end. Push 
the rubber ring onto the heater and into the black cap.

28. Fit the heater into the boiler and screw on the black cap. When 

the black cap is tight push the heater through the black cap 
until the end of the heater sits in the nodule at the end of the 
boiler.

 

Do not overtighten the screw caps as this may cause the 
boiler to break, or push the heaters in too far as this may 
break the nodule.

29. Repeat steps 27 & 28 for front heater.

30. Pass the electrical cables of the heaters up into the electrical 

control compartment via the two orifices. Push the spade
