Description of the appliance

CLAGE DSX Touch E-convenience instant water
heater-featured

The E-convenience instant water heater DSX Touch is a fully electronically controlled instantaneous water heater with touch display and remote control for a convenient and efficient water supply to one or more tap outlets.
Its electronic control regulates the power consumption depending on the selected outlet temperature, the respective inlet temperature and the flow rate, thus reaching the set temperature exactly to the degree and keeping it constant in case of pressure fluctuations. The required outlet temperature can be entered on the touch-sensitive display within a range between 20 °C and 60 °C and can be read off that digital display. Alternatively, the appliance can be conveniently controlled via the Bluetooth® remote control or via the CLAGE app with a smartphone or tablet.
The DSX Touch has an intuitive menu guide where different user profiles can be set up and where collected data can be read out
The inlet temperature can be up to 70 °C so that operation in connection with reheat-ing, e.g. in solar systems, is possible.
It is possible to use the instantaneous water heater in combination with an external load shedding relay for electronically controlled instantaneous water heaters (refer to installing instructions).
As soon as you open the hot water tap, the instantaneous water heater switches on auto ma ti cally. When the tap is closed, the appliance automatically switches off. The water heater is operated at the device itself, with the wireless remote control or via the CLAGE app with a smartphone or tablet.

Temperature display

The coloured scale ring fills up as the temperature setting is increased and the colour changes from blue when the temperature is low to red when the temperature is high. In addition, the target temperature is displayed in °C as a figure in the middle of the display.
Temperature setting
The desired temperature can be selected by tapping on and for the fine setting or by dragging along the coloured scale ring for a quick selection within a range of 20 °C to 60 °C. Tapping or once changes the temperature by 1 °C, in the comfort range between 35 and 43 °C by 0.5 °C. If the temperature is set below 20 °C,  the symbol appears in the temperature display and the appliance switches off the  heating function.
User selection
Up to eight user profiles can be created. Every user has the option to save his desired temperatures for the different uses in a profile. The user profiles can be selected by tap-ping on the profile image and the temperatures saved in the profile are set (to create a profile, see Section “User”).
Applications
Preset applications can be selected here. Simply tap on the desired symbol.
The temperatures set at the factory ( handwash = 35 °C, shower = 38 °C,
bath = 42 °C, hot water = 48 °C) can be changed for each application via the temperature setting. If you touch the temperature value in the temperature display or the application symbol for 3 seconds, the temperature is saved for the selected applica-tion. The temperature display flashes once for confirmation. Application temperatures saved in the user profile can be called up at any time by tapping on the corresponding symbol.

  • Maintenance: Tap the symbol to open a status message with additional informa-tion.
  • Maximum temperature reached: The temperature cannot be increased any fur-ther since the set temperature limit has been reached. The temperature limit can be changed in the main menu under “Settings”.

Drawing mode If heated water is drawn from a tap, the main control changes to drawing mode and, depending on the set outlet temperature, changes the background colour from blue for low temperatures to red for high temperatures. In this mode the scale ring displays the actual power consumption of the appliance.
Main menu All function menus and saved values of the appliance can be selected from here. Tap on the symbol to go back to the main control.
Automatic In this menu, two functions can be selected. Automatic either measures the time in seconds via the function “Duration” or the flow of heated water in liters via the function “Fill-Up”. Cold water added at the tap cannot be recorded by the appliance. In order to use the Automatic function correctly according to the fill quantity, it is therefore necessary to set the desired temperature on the appliance and only turn on the hot water tap.
For each function per user profile, the last set start value is saved and can be activated at any time.
Note: In Automatic mode, the operating functions are limited. When selecting a limited function, an instruction window appears. Tap on “OK” to deactivate Automatic mode and all functions are freely available again. Tap on “Cancel” to close the instruction win-dow and Automatic mode remains active.

The view changes to the main control where the set time is displayed directly below the temperature display. Tap on the time or turn on the hot water tap to start the function and the time starts to count down as seconds. Tap on the time again to pause and restart the function at any time. Turning off the tap does not pause the function. If hot water is already flowing whilst the function is activated, it starts immediately.
To cancel the function, touch the time for three seconds. When the time has elapsed, “00:00” flashes briefly. In addition, the flow quantity, if it is being drawn, is reduced for around 10 seconds and then increased again. A short acoustic signal is heard.
Fill-Up: Under “Fill-Up” tap on or to set the desired water quantity and then tap on “START” to activate Automatic mode. The view changes to the main control where the set quantity is displayed directly below the temperature display. Turning on the hot water tap starts the function and the set fill quantity counts down in litre increments according to the flow measurement. Continued turning off and on of the tap pauses and restarts the function. If hot water is already flowing whilst the function is activated, it starts immediately. To cancel the function, touch the fill quantity for three seconds or turn off the water flow for a minute.When the fill quantity is reached, “0 l” flashes briefly on the display and the appliance stops the water flow by closing the motor valve. A long acoustic signal can also be heard and an instruction message appears on the display. The motor valve stay closed until the message is confirmed at the appliance or via app.
Turning off the tap is always necessary, the function must therefore not be used unsupervised.
Before using the bath, make sure that the water temperature is what you want it to be.
Hint: The water amount of the last draw-off is stored in the “Statistics” menu. To determine the necessary amount of water for your bathtub, fill it with warm water, then select “Statistics” in the main menu and read out the value of this last drawing. Enter this value in the automatic function “Fill- Up” to use it for the next bathtub filling.
Note: In the event of a power cut whilst the automatic is running according to the fill quantity, the water flow is stopped by the motor valve. After power is restored the valve remains closed a prompt appears on the display and an alarm signal can be heard until the prompt is acknowledged by tapping on “OK”.

Info
The current status and appliance data is listed here. By wiping you can scroll through the different information values.
Power limit
If the full output of the instantaneous water heater DSX Touch does not suffice to heat the tapped quantity of water, the control valve automatically reduces the flow rate so that the set temperature is reached.
Top-up heating
When operating with preheated water (e.g. with solar systems), you must ensure that the inlet temperature does not exceed 70 °C.
If the inlet temperature exceeds the setpoint, the appliance is not providing any output. The symbol is displayed in the main screen
How to save energy
Set the exact temperature you need on the appliance and open the hot water tap. Once you feel that the water is too hot, do not add any cold water and, instead, enter a lower temperature on the appliance. If you were to add cold water, the water already heated would cool down again and valuable energy would be wasted. Moreover, the cold water added in the tap is not covered by the control range of the electronic circuitry, with the result that temperature constancy is no longer guaranteed.

Venting after maintenance work

This instantaneous water heater features automatic air bubble protection to prevent it from inadvertently running dry. Nevertheless, the appliance must be vented before using it for the first time. Each time the appliance is emptied (e.g. after work on the plumbing system, if there is a risk of frost or following repair work), the appliance must be re-vented before it is used again.

  1. Disconnect the instantaneous water heater from the mains (e.g. via deactivating the fuses).
  2. Unscrew the jet regulator on the outlet fitting and open the cold water tap valve to rinse out the water pipe and avoid contaminating the appliance or the jet regulator.
  3. Open and close the hot water tap until no more air emerges from the pipe and all air has been eliminated from the water heater.
  4. Only then should you re-connect the power supply again (e.g. via activating the fuses) to the instantaneous water heater and screw the jet regulator back in.
  5. The appliance activates the heater after approx. 10 seconds of continuous water flow.
Cleaning and maintenance
  • Plastic surfaces and fittings should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or chlorine-based cleaning agents or solvents.
  • for a good water supply, the outlet fittings (e.g. jet regulators and shower heads) should be unscrewed and cleaned at regular intervals. Every three years, the electrical and plumbing components should be inspected by an authorized professional in order to ensure the proper functioning and operational safety at all times.
