6.5 STRAINER INSPECTION AND CLEANING

Every 6 months, check and clean the Strainers in both the Boiler Water and Domestic Water

piping of the SmartPlate Water Heater. Perform the following steps for each Strainer:

1. Attach a hose to the blow-down valve at the base of the Strainer. Cycle the blow-down

valve open and closed 6 times.

2. If the Strainer cannot be cleared using the procedure described above, refer to Chapter 8

– Corrective Maintenance, paragraph 8.5.

6.6 CONTROL VALVE OPERATIONAL CHECK

Refer to Chapter 4, paragraph 4.2 and recalibrate the Control Valve. Also, check the LED

indicator to ensure the Valve is functioning correctly.

NOTE

To avoid repeated draining of the Heater, perform the annual

scheduled maintenance checks specified in paragraphs 6.7 and

6.8 at the same time.

6.7 TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECKS

The SmartPlate Water Heater contains a Feed-Forward Temperature Sensor in the Mixed

Water Manifold and a Dual Temperature Sensor in the DHW Outlet Port. Once each year,

these Sensors should be checked to ensure there is no scale build-up.

1. Turn OFF the POWER switch on the side of the ECS/SP Control Box to disconnect AC

power from the Heater.

2. Close the Inlet and Outlet Isolation Valves on the Boiler Water and DHW lines of the

Heater.

3. Connect a hose to the Drain Valve and run it to a convenient floor drain. Open the Drain

Valve near the DHW Outlet to drain the water from the pipes and Heat Exchanger.

4. Disconnect and remove the Single Feed-Forward Sensor from the Manifold and the Dual

Outlet Temperature Sensor from the DHW Outlet Port (Figure 6-1).

5. Inspect the Sensors for evidence of scale build-up on the stainless-steel sleeve of the

Sensors. If necessary, clean the Sensors using a wire brush.

6. In addition to the immersion Sensors mentioned above, check the attachment of the

surface-mount Sensors on the Boiler Water Inlet and Outlet piping.

6.8 RECIRCULATION PUMP CHECK

The Recirculation Pump is installed between the DHW inlet and outlet pipes beneath the Mixed

Water Manifold.
