3. OPERATION AND SERVICE
3.1 Start-up
The hydronic back-up boiler (see Figure 5) and solar storage
tank (see Figures 4 & 5), constitute a functional unit. Hot water is
generated throughout the year by the solar collectors (see Figure 4).
Supplemental heat is provided by the back-up boiler when there is
insuffi cient solar energy available (see Figure 5).
The entire heater and hot water system must be fi lled with water
and have adaquate air ventilation. Please refer to the solar
collector’s and the boiler’s installation instructions.
4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Routine care and maintenance extends the life expectancy and
operating safety of the hot water storage unit. The outer casing
should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and commercially
available neutral cleaning agent. This should be done on a regular
basis.
4.1 Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve
WARNING: THE T&P RELIEF VALVE IS DESIGNED TO RELIEVE BUILT
UP PRESSURE IN THE WATER HEATER. FLUID MAY BE DISCHARGED
AT HIGH TEMPERATURE AND/OR PRESSURE. SCALDING HOT WATER
INJURIES CAN OCCUR.
NOTICE: THE WATER HEATER AND T&P RELIEF VALVE SHOULD BE
INSTALLED AND PIPED IN AND TO AN AREA WHERE WATER DISCHARGE
AND LEAKING WILL NOT CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The proper function of the Temperature / Pressure (“T&P”) relief
valve is required to prevent damage to the hot water storage unit.
The T&P valve needs to be open during cold-water addition. The
water has to fl ow from the relief line at full stream.
4.3 Replacement of the Sacrifi cial Anode
Depending on the composition of the tap water, an inspection
of the sacrifi cial anode (Pos. 1, Figure 1) at timely intervals is
recommended. With heavy wear, an original equipment replacement
anode must be installed to protect the inner container from
corrosion. An inspection should be performed at least once a year.
4.2 Decalcifi cation
With hard tap water, a deposit of scale will form on the inside of
the storage unit. Based on professional experience, it is necessary
to decalcify with commercially available solvents at timely intervals.
Follow the manufacturers instructions for solvent use. The hot water
storage unit needs to be emptied. The inspection cover must be
removed and sediments on the tank bottom must be fl ushed.

WATER LEAKAGE FROM THE UNIT OR ANY CONNECTIONS WILL NOT
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AREA SURROUNDING THE UNIT.
DANGER: THE UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUID
SUCH AS GASOLINE, ADHESIVES, SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNERS, BUTANE,
LIQUIFIED PROPANE, ETC. AS THE CONTROLS OF THIS APPLIANCE COULD
IGNITE VAPORS CAUSING AN EXPLOSION.
Inspect the packaging for damage and remove packaging at the
installation site. Verify presence of six brass thread to sweat fi ttings.
The installation site must be structurally capable of supporting the
weight of the tank when fi lled. The location has to be above freezing.
The water drainage pipe must be freeze proof.
8.2 Connection
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
8.3 Heater Installation
8.4.3 Cold Water Supply Safety Components
All safety components must be installed into the cold water supply
(Fill & drail valve, Check valve, isolating ball valve & pressure
regulator, see Figures 4 & 5). The order of the individual fi ttings must
be in accordance to local regulations.
8.4.4 Pressure Regulator Settings
The pressure regulator has to be set to 150 PSI (10 bar). It can
only be installed into the cold water supply. The supply has to be
thoroughly inspected prior to installation. Installation of dirt fi lters
or any other narrowing of the supply line to the pressure relief valve
is forbidden.
The temperature & pressure relief valve has to be easily accessible.
Expansion water generated during the heating has to fl ow visibly to
a drain. The drainage pipe must be large enough to accommodate
water drainage with a fully opened T & P valve. The drainage pipe
must be protected from freezing and must not lead outdoors.
The pressure regulator (Figures 4 & 5) has to be set so no water
drips from the T & P valve.
Heavy dripping of the T & P valve can be caused by dirt in the valve
seat or water pressure. Water pressure needs to re regulated below
150 PSI.
The installation of the hydronic loop is shown in Figures 4 & 5. The
circuit must include a Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve, and airvent, a check valve, and an expansion tank.
8.4 Hot Water Installation

with the appliance design, especially that the maximum working
excess pressure of 150 PSI (10 bar.) is not exceeded.
8.4.2 Required Pipe Combinations
A steel or a copper pipe with insulation can be used for the hot
water connectors. Copper pipe with insulation is especially suitable
due to its low heat loss.
Required combinations:
Cold water pipeline Hot water pipeline
Copper pipe Copper pipe
Steel pipe Steel or copper pipe
Plastic pipe Steel or copper pipe
8.4.5 Before Filling
Prior to fi lling all screws must be tight.
8.4.6 Drainage and Re-circulation
