Remote Monitoring Facility
A volt-free normally-open contact closure is provided by the unit connection with a BMS
(Business Management System) computer, to monitor that the unit is operating correctly.
Connection to the BMS output is made via the junction box. A suitable 5 core approved
cable must be used in order to make connection to the mains input and the BMS output.

Electrical Connection
The user must connect the electrical supply to the junction box in accordance with the on-
site ruling safety legislation at the time of installation. This is the sole responsibility of the
user and the site safety officer must be consulted before installation is undertaken.

 The i Range unit can provide a range of benefits, including protection against
limescale, treatment of biofouling and flocculation of particles. The most effective
location for the unit depends on the result desired.

•For protection against Limescale due to heating, the unit should be fitted on the
cold feed to where the water is heated.

•For protection against limescale, the unit should be fitted after any pumps or filters
as these can degrade the conditioning effect.

•To enhance flocculation, the ideal location is before the pump feeding a filter.
