6. StarPro Max & B-Max Condensate Removal (HX Models only)
All StarPro Max (HX models) have a condensate drain outlet. A fitting and clamp are provided for connection to
the drain (see diagram below).
• For External models, the outlet is located in the bottom corner below the gas supply connection point.
• For Internal models, the outlet is located in the bottom corner of the supply air pop hole panel.
• The condensate is mildly acidic, and should be run via a PVC pressure pipe (to AS 1477), with an
outside diameter of approximately 27 mm, away from the heater to a suitable area (e.g. drain, sewer, pit).
• Use PVC cement on all joints to prevent any condensate leakage.
• Do not connect the condensate drain directly to the sewer or storm water drain. A blockage in the drain
system would cause the heater’s condensate tank to flood with water and shut down. Check for any additional
local drainage codes which may apply.
• Under no circumstances should it be allowed to run onto electrical connections, earth stakes, copper pipes or
concrete paths. It should also not discharge onto metallic roofs or guttering, however the condensate drain
may terminate into the vertical section of a downpipe.
• Tube length should be minimised and a continuous fall created. Maximum equivalent tube length of 12m is
recommended (or increase diameter size).
• Under no circumstances should any part of the tube run up hill.
• Special consideration is required for installation in sub zero temperature as condensate could freeze in the
drain. In these cases, larger diameter drainage piping is required.
• Approximately 2 to 3 litres per hour of condensate may be produced under continuous running conditions,
depending on the size of the heater.

Zoning & Add-on Air Conditioning
StarPro Max/Plus & B-Max heaters can be configured for zoning and/or Add-On Refrigerative Air Conditioning.
There are three 24 Vac relays on the heater’s control module, which can be configured for either three zone
motors, or two zone motors and Add-on refrigerative air-conditioning control as shown in the diagram below. For
additional zone requirements; or ‘Brivis Network 516 module’ (Part No. B023178) is required, which can then
allow for control of up to four zone dampers and a refrigeration relay. Brivis ICE Add-on Cooling sizing
information is provided on page 24.
Note:
Refer to Brivis Network 516 module installation instructions for further information.
Refer to Brivis Networker Advanced Programming manual for zone setup on the Brivis Networker Thermostat.
Refer to Brivis ICE Add-On Cooling brochure for further information.
Note:
Brivis Network 516 modules can only be used on heaters manufactured after 1 Mar 2010.
Note:
It is important that the above guidelines are adhered to as incorrect drainage may cause serious
damage to the heater or surroundings.
Note:
Always use the correct PVC cement to bond the field supplied
PVC pressure pipe to the barbed connector, following the instructions
as detailed for the PVC cement for proper bonding and curing.
