flat station has not been damaged during transport.
IMPORTANT - Tightening of connections
Due to vibrations during transport all flange connections,
screw joints and electrical clamp and screw connections
must be checked and tightened before water is added to
the system. After water has been added to the system and
the system has been put into operation, re-tighten ALL
connections. Check that all hairpins in click connections
are completely pushed in.
All products of the EvoFlat series comply with the provisions of the REACH
regulation.
We are therefore obliged to inform our customers about the presence of substances according to the SVHC candidate list, if they are present. We hereby
inform you: This product contains brass parts containing lead (CAS 7439-92-1)
in a concentration above 1% (w/w).
Potential equalization / grounding
Equipotential bonding is understood as all measures for eliminating electrical potential differences (contact voltages), which can occur between eg
two pipelines. Equipotential bonding is an important measure for protection against electric shock. Equipotential bonding reduces corrosion in the
heat exchanger, instantaneous water heaters, district heating stations and
plumbing installations. Equipotential bonding should be in accordance with
the provisions 60364-4-41: 2007 and IEC 60364-5-54: 2011.

Connection to the household installation and district heating pipes
connections must be made using threaded, flanged or welded connections.
The internal connections of the flat station are made by click-fit connections.
Please notice
Use of packaging types other than that with which the
device is delivered will void the warranty.
The shut-off valves should be opened and the unit observed as it enters
service. Visual checking should confirm temperatures, pressures, acceptable
thermal expansion and absence of leakage.
If the heat exchanger operates in accordance with design, it can be put
to regular use.
After water has been added to the system and the system has been put
into operation, re-tighten ALL connections. Check that all hairpins in click
connections are completely pushed in.
Start-up, Heating with mixing loop
Start-up:
1: Pump speed
Set the pump to its highest speed of rotation before start-up. On radiator
systems, the selector switch is normally set in “Variable curve / Proportional
curve” setting, in “max. pos.”. For floor heating systems, the selector switch
is normally set in “Constant curve” setting, in “max. pos.”.
Re-thighten connections
After water has been added to the system and the system has been put into operation, re-tighten ALL connections.
Check that all hairpins in click connections are com-
pletely pushed in.
2: Start pump
Start the pump and heat through the system.
3: Open shut-off valves
The shut-off valves should then be opened and the unit observed as it
enters service. Visual checking should confirm temperatures, pressures,
acceptable thermal expansion and absence of leakage.
If the system operates in accordance with design, it can be put to regular
use, - always taking into account the conditions in the building.
4: Vent system
Switch off the pump and vent the installation after the system has been
warmed up. Please note that some pump types feature a built-in venting
function. For others the installation can be vented by using a vent valve
in the flat station or on the radiators, or, if appropriate, the air valve at the
highest point of the system – For additional information, please refers to
the enclosed pump and manual.
5: Adjust pump speed
Set the pump to the lowest possible position, depending on the heating
requirement for the building - taking into account aspects such as cooling
and power consumption.
If the heating requirement increases the pump setting can be changed
by means of the selector switch. Please refer to the enclosed instruction
manual for detailed information about setting ranges.
In the summer, you can switch off the power to the pump at the mains if
you want to save electricity by not heating your home. It should be ensured
that no inappropriate hydraulic situation will occur, when the power to
your pump is turned off.
For start-up and venting – see above and the enclosed pump manual.

4.6.1 EvoFlat Technical Parameters
Nominal pressure: PN10
Max. DH supply temperature: 95 °C
Min. DCW static pressure: 1,5 bar
Brazing material (HEX): Copper / Stainless steel
Multi-functional controller with integrated zone valve, air vent, differential
pressure and PWH temperature controller.
PWH temperature control
direction the temperature is increased, by turning it in (-/MIN) direction
the temperature is decreased.
Setting range 40-60°C.
PWH temperature should be adjusted to 50 °C, as this provides optimal
utilization of DH water.
For systems with circulation, the hot water temperature must be 60 ° C and
the circulation return temperature must not fall below 55 ° C. (valid for DE).
Note: Systems with DHW circulation generate significantly higher heating
return temperatures in circulation mode than in full load mode
Differential pressure controller
The differential pressure controller equalizes the high fluctuations in pressure arriving from the heat source, ensuring constant operating pressure
The following applies to all EvoFlat stations:
At the “HE” connection, the available differential pressure is - depending
on volume flow (40 - 645 l / h) - between 220 - 165 mbar.
Zone valve
The TPC multi-functional controller contains a zone valve.
The TWA-Q/NC actuator can be mounted on the zone valve.
The transport protection on the TWA-Z/NC actuator must be removed
before use.
5.3 Strainer
Strainers should be cleaned regularly by authorized personnel. The
frequency of cleaning would depend on operating conditions.
5.4Summer bypass
The bypass thermostat is designed to keep the supply line warm.
Setting range: 10-50°C.
Scale setting (indicative).
Factory setting 2,5.
The mixing loop creates a suitable temperature level e.g. for floor
heating
5.6 FTC control
The FTC controls the mixing loop HE supply temperature.
Setting range 15-50°C.
The setting values may vary depending on the operating conditions. It is important to set the supply temperature to the radiators
as low possible.
NB! For houses that are heated exclusively with floor heating.
ALWAYS refer to the instructions from the floor supplier.
Factory setting: 50°C.
5.7 Safety thermostat
The safety thermostat will shut the zone valve if the HE supply
temperature is above 55°C.
5.8 Safety valve
The purpose of the safety valve is to protect the flat station from
excessive pressure.
The blow-off pipe from the safety valve must not be closed. The
blow-off pipe outlet should be placed so that it discharges freely
and it is possible to observe any dripping from the safety valve.
It is recommended to check the operation of safety valves at intervals of 6 months. This is done by turning the valve head in direction
indicated.
The return limiter type FJVR automatically controls the return temperature from heating system.
The return temperature limiter should be set to the required maximum return temperature, in compliance with the local demands.
Factory setting: 3.
