11. Vulcan Installation
11.4 Quick Guide: Do-It-Yourself-Installation
Vulcan is especially designed so that the installation does not need to be
done by a specialized plumber. You can easily install Vulcan in approx.
10-15 minutes. The installation does not require any tools and there is
no need to cut the pipe.
11.4.1 Notes on the installation and examples
1. For optimal water treatment Vulcan is best installed near the water
meter or at the main water supply.
2. The impulse band windings can be placed on the left side, on the
right side or underneath the electronic device. Leave a safe distance
of at least 1 cm (min. ~
1
/

”) from the band pairs.
3. Vulcan can be installed vertically, horizontally or at any other angle.
If there is no space available on the pipe the device can also be wall-
mounted.
4. In case of limited space the windings can be placed partly on the
main pipe and partly on the distributor pipe.
All these different installations are possible because the treatment
impulses extend over several meters to either side of the pipes.
11.4.2 General information
1. Protect the power supply unit against exposure to direct water.
2. Use the included switching power supply unit only.
3. Do not cut the impulse bands nor the 24 V power cord of the
power supply unit.
4. Do not remove the end caps or the impulse band insulation.
5. The operating temperature of Vulcan ranges from –25° C to +50°C
(-13°F to 122°F).
6. Clean the device with water only.
7. Temperature peaks on heating element surfaces should not exceed
95°C (203°F).
11.4.3 Installation instructions for the Private Line
1. Put the two band holders through the fixing holes at the bottom of
the electronic device. Now place the device onto the pipe. Use the
band holders to latch the device to the pipe.
2. Connect one of the impulse bands to the device and use another
band holder to latch it to the pipe.
3. Wind the impulse bands around the pipe producing a coil. Make sure
you wind the band tightly to the pipe and place the windings close
to each other.
4. Latch the end of the band to the pipe using another band holder.
Now repeat the procedure with the second impulse band.
5. First plug the connector into the upper right in-jack of the device and
then connect the power supply unit with an electrical outlet.
6. The red pilot lights will illuminate as soon as the device starts to
operate. Vulcan works from now on maintenance free.
