Installation instructions
for qualified personnel
General installation
■ The heating element and the sensor
protection tube must be adequately
covered with water on all sides.
■ The thermal water flow may not be
inhibited.
■ The units are equipped with a safety
temperature limiter which stops the
heating of the unit at a temperature
of max. 130°C. The choice of
connection components (connecting
pieces, circulation, safety valve
combination, etc.) must be such
that, in the event of a malfunction
of the temperature control, the
connection components will maintain
temperatures of 130°C, avoiding
possible damage.
■ The heating cartridges are designed
with
insulated heating elements in
connection with a current discharge
resistor protection for the installation
in enamelled storage tanks.
■ A space – installation length + 100 mm
– for installation etc. must be kept free
upstream from the boiler flange.
■ Lime deposits inhibit the flange heating
cartridge's function. Appropriate
precautions must be taken if lime
concentrations in the water are too
high: e.g. reducing the temperature,
installing a water softening device,
removing the lime deposits.
■ Possible electrochemical processes must
be taken into account in accordance
with good engineering practice (mixed
installations!) when selecting the
materials used in the system or the
order in which they are used.
