Maintenance of the unit
The functional safety of the safety valve and the pressure
reducer, if integrated in the system (to be provided
on site) must be checked at regular intervals. We also
recommend annual cleaning / servicing of the tank by a
specialist firm.
CAUTION!
ACCESSORIES
CAUTION.
Use only original accessories

NOTE
Descale electric heating elements (if installed)
annually, or at shorter intervals depending on
the hardness of the water. Carry out a functional
check at the same time.
the
Use of electric heating elements is only allowed up to
14°dH
Type
Have the magnesium anode checked and if
necessary renewed by the customer service
for the first time after 2 years and then at
appropriate intervals.
Renew anode if protective current lower than
0.3 mA. After replacing the anode, re-install
earthing cable between anode and storage tank

We reserve the right to make technical changes
NOTE
Install the storage tank as close as possible to
the heat generator, to keep the heat losses as
low as possible. Ensure the shortest possible
pipe lengths to the load.
CAUTION!
The floor or ground at the place of installation
must be dry, firm and able to safely support the
weight of the tank.
For the weight of the tank, please refer to the
dimensioned drawing for the respective model.

TRANSPORT TO INSTALLATION LOCATION
NOTE
Close off any connections not required with
appropriate plugs.
To avoid damage during transport, transport the
storage tank (secured on the wooden pallet) to its final
installation location using a lifting truck.
For position of the connections, please refer
to the dimensioned drawing for the respective
model.
WARNING!
The unit can tip over when being removed
from the wooden pallet and during
transport with a hand truck or lift truck.
This can result in personal injuries and
damage.
– Take suitable precautions to prevent
the tipping hazard.
CAUTION!
Always integrate the tank in the system
according to the connection instructions.
Connection instructions from page 10.
NOTE
The storage tank is delivered fully insulated.
Dispose of the transport and packaging materials
properly and under ecological aspects.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF THE SENSOR FOR THE HEATING AND
HEAT PUMP REGULATOR
Depending on the unit model, you must install the sensor
included in the scope of supply for the heating and
heat pump controller on site in of the sensor pockets
provided for this purpose. (In some models this sensor is
installed in the factory).
When installing the tank, ensure sufficient clearance
from walls and other objects to enable the connection
pipes to be fitted.
For item, see dimensioned drawing for respective
model.
Insulation of the connections
and the storage tank
Installation
NOTE.
Always comply with the applicable local accident
prevention regulations, statutory regulations,
ordinances, guidelines and directives.
NOTE.
Insulate in accordance with applicable local
standards and guidelines/directives.
Check all hydraulic connections for leaks. Perform
leak test…
NOTE.
To level out pressure fluctuations or water
hammer in the cold water network and to
avoid unnecessary water loss, we recommend
installation of a suitable expansion vessel with
flow fittings.
Insulate all connections and pipes.
Commissioning
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the operating pressures
specified on the rating plate. If necessary,
install a pressure reducer.
Check whether the water supply is open and the
tank is full…
Check the safety valve is working properly (and if
applicable the pressure reducer).
