  • To answer the question why is my cold water valve (or ECV) on my Sanden leaking a lot what is causing this? A few elements to consider.

    To protect your Sanden unit from excessive pressure there are three valves:

    Valve 1. The pressure reduction valve (PRV) which is located on the water inlet to your home and is set to 500kPa. This valve is designed to keep the pressure out of any tap in your house below 500 kPa.
     

    FAQ - The cold water valve (or ECV) on my Sanden is leaking a lot what is causing this

     

    Valve 2.  The expansion control valve (ECV) which is located on the cold water inlet to your Sanden and is set to 600 kPa. This valve is designed to relieve cold water instead of hot water during the heating cycle (which increases pressure in the tank) which saves you money and protects the final valve, the PTR.

    FAQ - The cold water valve (or ECV) on my Sanden is leaking a lot what is causing this

    Valve 3.  The Pressure and temperature relief valve (PTR) which is located on the hot water outlet to the Sanden and is set to 700 kPa.  This valve is designed to release hot water from your tank if the pressure gets too high or the water heating cut-off fails to work.

     

    FAQ - The cold water valve (or ECV) on my Sanden is leaking a lot what is causing this

     

    One of the main reasons ECV valves leak water excessively (apart from wear and tear or malfunction) is excessive water pressure in the mains supply which is not properly being reduced by a PRV as it enters your house to at or below 500 kPa; in many areas the mains water pressure is 850 kPa + this is to ensure fire fighters have enough pressure to use their fire hoses properly in the event of a fire. 

    Note: the Australian standard covering water pressure in the home (AS 3500.1:2018) mandates that water pressure in your home must be kept below 500 kPa as water pressure above 500 kPa  has the potential to damage valves, tap fittings, flexible hose fitting etc as the components are only rated to withstand pressures at or below 500 kPa. 

    So if you notice that the expansion control valve (valve 2 discussed earlier) on your Sanden is leaking excessively chances are you have excessive water pressure at your house and your PRV (valve 1) is either not present or not working.

    Either way you should get a plumber to check the water pressure in your house and make sure you have a functional PRV.  You can also buy a cheap pressure meter from a hardware shop if you want to check your household water pressure yourself:  Note your mains pressure is not constant it will change based on a number of factors including local water use, time of day, time of year or changes in your local area such as new housing being built etc.

  • If you have a Sanden Eco heat pump hot water system that is working but you find you're running out of hot water before your Sanden commences it's daily start up - this is most likely because you have a block out time period not suitable for your hot water load consumption.

    Rectification is to change the Bllockout timer setting on your Sanden Eco heat pump (condenser unit) to either of the below Scenarios:

    Most likely your current BO Timer is set up with a 5 hour period (e.g. "1611"- 11am to 4pm) - change this to either:

    Scenario 1: Amend your Blockout Timer with a longer time period e.g. 0211

    Keep the 'start' time of your Blockout Timer the same e.g. 11am to maximise rooftop solar PV production and change the 'end' time to e.g. 2am the next  morning.

    Your BO time on the control panel should read "0211" in this scenario.

    Scenario 2: Disable the Blockout Timer 

    Find you're still running out of hot water? Disable the blockout timer.

    Change the 'start' time of the Blockout Timer to "00" and change the 'end' time of the Blockout Timer to "00"

    Your BO time on the control panel should read "0000" in this scenario.

  • Getting access to block out timer mode

    Note:  After installation only 'maintenance mode' should be used for block out changes.  There is another procedure on page 16 of the installation manual related to the block out timer this only applies when the unit is first installed. 

    To set the block out timer for your Sanden unit you will need to access the 'clock control unit' (shown below in blue), to do this you will need to remove the four screws at the side of the top cover panel on your outdoor unit (shown below), which has a 10 mm lip around the entire unit, to access.

    Once you have access to the clock control unit you can set the block out (BO) timer by following the steps below, this will allow you to set your block out hours.  

    1 - Hold down "UP" and "DOWN" together - gets you to "HSE" mode

    2 - Press "UP" - gets you to outlet water temp setting mode

    3 - Press "UP" - gets you to BO mode

    4 - Press "ENTER" - gets you to EDIT BO mode (then enter the hours accordingly).

    For more information consult page (17-22) of your Sanden installation manual which can be found here

    Setting the hours you want to block out

    The block out time functions using four digits first two digits = off, second two digits = on so:

    To set the timer to run between 12 midday (AEST) and 6 pm set the blackout timer to 1812, which means off at 6 pm (18 in 24 hr clock terms) and on at 12 pm. 

    To set the black out timer to run off-peak you might choose 0722 which means on at 10 pm (in 24 hr notation) and off at 7 am. Ensure that the off-peak tariff supplies a minimum of 5 hours continuous power to the Sanden HPHW.

    If in doubt don't hesitate to contact us at  info@pure-electric.com.au and we can guide you through the process

  • If you purchase a Fronius GEN24 inverter, you have the ability to get installed a "PV Point".

    The Fronius PV Point is a basic backup power supply integrated into the Fronius GEN24 & GEN24 Plus series inverters. This innovative function makes it possible to reliably supply a socket or small consumer circuits with energy in the event of a power failure. PV Point provides up to 3 kW of continuous single-phase power, making it ideal for maintaining the power supply to important consumers or household appliances. 

    Key features include:

    Function: It provides power to a designated socket (up to 3kW) during a grid outage, using available PV or battery power. Automatic Switching: The inverter automatically switches to backup power, without needing additional components.   
    Installation: It requires a modification to the inverter's base shell, with predefined outputs for easy installation.
    Limitations: Some appliances with high starting currents (e.g., refrigerators) may not function properly. It cannot be used as an uninterruptible power supply for sensitive equipment like computers.

    A decisive advantage of PV Point is its simple installation and low installation costs. Unlike some other backup power solutions, PV Point does not require any additional switching components in the switch cabinet. 

    Another significant advantage of PV Point is its independence from batteries, provided that sufficient energy is generated by the PV modules. This means PV Point can operate in backup power mode without relying on a battery. This provides a cost-effective solution for maintaining the power supply if you already have a PV system installed. Of course, PV Point also works optimally in combination with a battery.

    (Normative settings from the country settings are not affected by the factory reset).

    Change behavior in case of emergency power overload. There is now a separate state code (1125) for ”Power too low in emergency power mode”. Previously, the general error 1175 ”Power too low” was triggered. The reconnection time in case of a state 1125 occurrence is 20 minutes now. This avoids the occurrence of a State 1177. (Too many inverter shutdowns in emergency power mode - confirmation required).

    Setups Thailand TH MEA and TH PEA have been added

    State 1197 is no longer triggered every 7 minutes in case of a switched-off DC disconnector and the device is supplied with AC.
