GENERAL INFORMATION

1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

b

Check that the product is complete, undamaged and

as ordered as soon as you receive it. Report any dis­crepancies or damage to the B dealer who sold
it.

b

This product must be installed by a legally qualied
heating engineer. On completion of the installation,

the installer must issue the owner with a declaration

of conformity conrming that the installation has been

completed to the highest standards in compliance
with the instructions provided by

B in this instruc-

tion manual, and that it conforms to all applicable
laws and standards.

b

This product must only be used for the purpose

for which it is designed and made, as specied by

B. B declines all responsibility, contractual or

other, for damage to property or injury to persons or
animals caused by improper installation, adjustment,
maintenance or use.

b

The product must be serviced at least once a year.
Servicing must be arranged in advance with the

B Technical Assistance Centre.

b

All servicing and repairs must be performed by a

qualied heating engineer.

b

If water leaks from the storage cylinder, turn off the

water supply and contact B’s Technical Assis­tance Centre or a qualied heating engineer imme­diately.

b

If the product is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, contact the manufacturer’s Technical
Assistance Centre to have at least the following oper­ations performed:

- Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water
circuit

- Shut down the boiler connected to the storage cylin­der as instructed in its own manual

- Switch the storage cylinder OFF at the control panel

(if tted) and at the mains power switch

- Drain the central heating circuit and domestic hot

water circuit if there is any risk of freezing.

b

This instruction manual is an integral part of the prod­uct. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accom­pany the product, even if it is sold to another owner or
transferred to another user or to another installation.
If you lose this manual, order a replacement immedi­ately. Keep the product purchase documents to be
presented to the

B authorised Technical Assis-

tance Centre to request a service call under warranty.

b

Size the solar expansion tank so as to ensure com­plete absorption of the expansion of the uid con-

tained within the system, with reference to the prevail­ing regulations on the matter. In particular, consider
uid characteristics, considerable uctuation of ser­vice temperature and vapour that might be generated

during solar collector stagnation stage. Proper size
of expansion tank ensures setting off of all volume
changes of the heat transfer uid, avoiding excessive
pressure increase. Limited pressure changes avoid

reaching safety valve opening pressure and the con-

sequent uid drainage.

2 PRECAUTIONS

The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power
demands that a number of fundamental safety precautions
be respected. In particular:

a

Never attempt to install the system without using suit­able personal protection equipment and without fol-

lowing all applicable occupational safety standards.

a

It is forbidden to touch the device while barefoot or
with wet or moist body parts.

a

It is forbidden to perform any technical or cleaning
operations before having disconnected the device
from its electrical power supply, by setting the sys­tem's main switch to "off".

a

It is forbidden to pull, detach, or twist the electrical
cables protruding from the device, even if it is discon­nected from its electrical power supply.

a

Do not expose the storage cylinder to the elements. It
is not designed for use outdoors.

a

If solar plant pressure decreases, it is forbidden to

top up with only water as there is a danger of freezing

and overheating.

a

Do not use connections or safety devices or ttings

(expansion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not
specically designed and tested for use in solar wa­ter heating systems.

a

Do not allow children or inrm persons to operate the

system unsupervised.

a

Do not dispose of packaging material into the envi­ronment, or leave it within the reach of children, since
it can become a potential hazard. Dispose of packag­ing material in compliance with applicable legislation.

a

It is forbidden to use the pipes for handling.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE

APPLIANCE

B

IDRA DS FI

double-coil solar boilers, with pre-tted

solar station, are available in four different models, can be
integrated in solar systems for the production of domestic
hot water and can be easily used in solar systems where

B boilers or heating units serve as an integration.

The most important technical features of these solar stor­age cylinders are:

- the accurate study of tank and coil geometry

- internal glazing, bacteriologically inert, to ensure the
max. hygiene of treated water, reduce limescale de-

posits and make cleaning operations easier

- insulation made of expanded polyurethane free from

CFC (chlorouorocarbons)

- a ange for easy cleaning and maintenance of the
anti-corrosion magnesium anode

- solar station enclosed in an insulating casing in EPP
(Polypropylene foam), used also for solar system

washing, lling and emptying as well as for circulator

removal

The main components of the solar station are:

- high-efciency circulator with variable speed (al­ready hard-wired)

- solar regulator (already hard-wired), as indicated in
paragraph "Safety and control devices"

- shut-off valves as non-return valves

- thermometers

- pressure gauge

- tting for connection to a solar expansion tank

- suitable safety device, as indicated in paragraph "
Safety and control devices"

4 SAFETY AND CONTROL DEVICES

Equipment safety and setting are achieved thanks to:

- Safety valve with trigger pressure set at 6 bar;

- Solar Regulator for circulator management/adjust­ment. It manages 9 system diagrams that can be se-

lected. Refer to the specic manual for further details.
