Residential Installation

Installation 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 ½” (1 cm) between the bands.

3. Vulcan can be installed vertically, horizontally or at any other angle. If there is no space available on the pipe the electronic block 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. 

Installation Notes

1. Protect the electronic unit and the power supply against direct water. Only specific Vulcan units (produced on demand) can run under water.

2. Use the provided electronic switching adaptor only.

3. Do not cut the impulse bands nor the 36 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 -13°F to 122°F (–25°C to +50°C).

6. Clean the device with water only.

7. Temperature peaks on heating element surfaces should not exceed ~203°F (~95°C). 

 

Installation Instructions

Residential Application

1. Put the two cable ties through the fixing holes at the bottom of the electronic device. Now place the device onto the pipe. Use the cable ties to latch the device to the pipe.

2. Connect one of the impulse bands to the device and use another cable tie 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 impulse band to the pipe using another cable tie. Now repeat the procedure with the second impulse band.

5. First plug the connector into the upper right injack 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.

It only takes 10 minutes to install a Vulcan 5000.
No tools needed!

Commercial and Industrial Installations

Installation Instructions

1. Put the two cable ties through the fixing holes at the bottom of the electronic device. Now place the device onto the pipe. Use the cable ties to latch the device to the pipe.

2. Plug one of the impulse bands into the bottom impulse band in-jack and latch it to the pipe using another cable tie.

3. Wind the impulse band 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 cable tie. Now plug another impulse band into the in-jack on the opposite side and repeat the procedure.

5. Plug another impulse band into the next impulse band in-jack and, according to the device type, repeat steps 2 – 4 until all impulse bands are in use. All impulse bands must be wound tightly around the pipe and fastened with cable ties.

6. First plug the connector into the upper right injack of the device and then connect the power supply unit with an electrical outlet.

7. Programming: Set the program by touching the twin metal sensors on the left side simultaneously.

Installation Instructions — X-Pro Line

Put the cable ties through the fixing holes at the bottom of the electronic device. Now place the device onto the pipe. Use the cable ties to fix the device to the pipe.

2. Plug now impulse band A into the bottom impulse band in-jack A and latch it to the pipe with the fixing tape.

3. Wind the impulse band 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 with the fixing tape. 4.2. Only for Vulcan X-Pro 2 Connect the end plug of impulse band A with the plug of impulse band A.2 and wind this impulse band A.2 directly next to the impulse band A and fix it with the fixing tape.

5. Plug the other impulse band A into the in-jack on the opposite side and repeat the procedure 2. to 4.

6. Plug impulse band B into the next impulse band in-jack B and repeat step 2 – 5 until all impulse bands are in use. All impulse bands must be wound tightly around the pipe and fixed with the fixing tape.

7. First plug the connector into the upper right in-jack of the device and then connect the power supply unit with an electrical outlet.

8. Programming: Set the program by touching the twin metal sensors on the left side simultaneously.
