2 Device description

The drainage valve of the pressure cylinder is switched several times at
the beginning of the initialization phase. The pressure cylinder is also drai-
ned every 3 hours when switched on. This results in a certain noise level
following a series-connected reminder signal.

Switching off the device

If it is not going to be used for an extended period, the device should

be depressurized via the switch-off routine using the

key. This

guarantees a long service life of the device (see Section 3.1.3).

The switch-off routine ensures that the system is dewatered and deaired
correctly. Do not disconnect the device from the mains supply until
dewatering and deairing have taken place. If only the mains switch is
actuated, the existing pressure remains in the system.
