Start-Up / Operation 

 

2.0.1 

Start-up check list 

 

 
a) 

Water supply and Drain Connections

these should be connected as indicated 
under Plumbing and in accordance with the 
relevant local regulations.  An isolation valve 
should be adjacent to the unit. The 
connecting metal plumbing must be 
grounded close to the unit. 

b) 

Steam Line:

 This must be connected 

according to the installation instructions with 
adequate slope and support. 

c) 

Power supply:

  Wiring to the Vapanet unit 

Should be by a qualified electrician and 
comply with the relevant regulations using 
appropriately sized cable and cable glands, 
with disconnect and fuses to suit the 
maximum fuse rating of the unit at the supply 
Voltage.  The disconnect/fuses should be 
adjacent to the unit or within easy reach and 
readily accessible. 

d) 

Control Connections:

  Ensure the control 

signal and security circuit are       
correctly connected according to the relevant 
instructions/diagrams. 

e) 

VAPANET 24v / 9V Control Circuit 

Transformer: 

The 

standard 

24V             

transformer used in the units has primary 
winging for 200V, 220/240V, 380V, 415V, & 
440v 50/60Hz connection derived from the 
local electrical supply. 
Note:  60Hz connection must be specified 
with order as 230V 60Hz pump is required. 

f) 

The maximum output & kW  rating of the unit 
is determined by the number and electrical 
rating of the heater elements fitted in the 
cylinder.  It is not possible to “de-rate” the 
unit. 

g) 

Unit Configuration Plug (U.C.P.). Provides 
the Vapanet control PCB with information 
regarding the “system hardware” i.e. the size 
of the cylinder and whether the unit is an 
“On/Off” (“LR”) or “Proportional” (“LRP”) 
model. It is fitted directly onto the control 
P.C.B.  If a display is fitted only one resistor 
is fitted to the UCP, but if no display is 
present additional resistors need to be 
present to provide sufficient information for 
the unit to operate. If insufficient information 
is available the unit will remain in the 
“not_config” state until the information is 
supplied. This additional information is 
provided via the keypad – when the display 
is fitted. 

  

 
 
 

A brass earth stud is fitted behind the transformer 
cover to enable this to be easily completed. 

 

 
 

 
 
See Page 7 / Appendix 1. 
 
 
See Page 10/11. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
See Page 13. 
 
 
 
This is fitted below the stainless steel drain tray. To 
gain access, open the front access door, remove the 
two M4 screws and remove the transformer cover by 
sliding it forward. 
 

 

Above:

 UCP1 fitted to Control PCB as if a display is 

fitted to the unit. 

 

Right: 

UCP’s fitted to Configuration PCB Part number 1150634, 

as if a display is not fitted to the unit.  
 
Thermistor input from control terminals 1 & 2 (Not shown) are 
connected to Configuration PCB CR1.  
 
The Jumper plugs (

J1

) should be used to select the site demand 

signal type (from the following options: 0-5V; 0-10V; 2-10V; 1-18V; 
0-20V; 4-20mA 

[jumper J1 on main PCB should also be made – see 

page 13]

 Pot.; Full O/P; Network or Slave.) and (

J2

) the site water 

quality (from the following options: De-min; De-ion; softened, Pot. 
Low; Pot. Medium; Pot. High).
