Sample calculation
The following example corresponds to a temperature and pressure relief valve G1/2 with a drain pipe (D2) with four 22 mm elbows and a length of 7 m from the tundish to the drainage point. According to the table, the maximum permissible resistance for a straight length of a 22-mm-thick copper discharge pipe (D2) of a thermal expansion relief valve G1/2 is 9.0 m. The resistance of the four 22 mm elbows, which are each 0.8 m in length, must be subtracted from this, i.e. a total of 3.2 m. The maximum permitted length is accordingly 5.8 m and is therefore below the current length of 7 m. The calculation must therefore be performed using the second largest size. The maximum permissible resistance for a straight length of a 28-mm-thick pipe (D2) of a thermal expansion relief valve G1/2 is 18 m.

The resistance of the four 28 mm elbows, which are each 1.0 m in length, must be subtracted from this, i.e. a total of 4.0 m. The maximum permitted length is accordingly 14 m. As the current length is 7 m, a 28 mm copper pipe (D2) should be selected. A suitable location for the drain pipe terminal is, for example, beneath a fixed mesh above the odour trap in a soakaway with a siphon. Low drain pipework, for example up to 100 mm above external surfaces (car parks, meadows, etc.) can be used provided that it is protected by a wire fence or something similar to prevent children from coming into contact with the waste water and provided that the system is not visible. Do not install any valves or stopcocks on the drain pipework. Make sure that the drain pipe from the tundish to the drain has a constant downward gradient of at least 1:200. The drain pipe for the heat generator expansion relief valve can be connected to the horizontal drain pipe for the cylinder behind the tundish using a T-piece.

Note
The temperature and pressure relief valve is preinstalled with a seal. If this seal is displaced, there is a risk that it will tear. In this case, replace the defective seal with a suitable seal.

Drain pipe

1. Temperature and pressure relief valve
2. Tundish

High-level drain
Installing the highest drain is permitted as long as this does not present a danger to anyone in or outside the building at the drain point. Examples of points to consider when deciding whether a location is suitable for the highest drain:

• The possibility (taking the wind into account) that a person might stay in the area where the water is drained for a prolonged period of time, and, if this is the case, whether the water is sufficiently cooled by that point to pose no danger. The thermal conductivity of the material surfaces, the climatic conditions, the installation location and the drain pipework direction can, to different extents, contribute to reducing the temperature of the water that is being drained.
• The position of the windows and other openings.
• The probability of prams being under the drain opening.
• The resistance of the surface to hot water.
• The possibility of ice forming if water drains onto access paths.

thermostatic valve
A thermostatic mixer tap may be required in order to limit the product’s outlet temperature.

• Install the thermostatic valve in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Ensure that no part of the safety assembly is insulated and that the thermostatic mixer tap is therefore connected in accordance with the cold water inlet’s safety assembly.

Insulating lines
We recommend providing the domestic hot water pipe on the product’s outlet with heat insulation in order to reducethe energy demand for the domestic hot water generation. Furthermore, all other exposed lines, from the temperature and pressure relief valve to the tundish, the flow and return of the cylinder heat exchanger, and the cold water supply lines, should also be provided with heat insulation.

Electrical installation
Only qualified electricians are allowed to carry out the electrical installation.

Danger!
Risk of death from electric shock! The mains connection terminals L and N remain live even if the product is switched off.

• Switch off the power supply.
• Secure the power supply against being switched on again

Danger!
Risk of death from electric shock! The condensers are still charged even hours after the power supply was disconnected. Wait until the condensers have discharged The product’s power supply must not be interrupted by a timer.

Electrical connection

1. Ensure that the power supply complies with the regulations for the country of installation and the IEE Wiring Regulations.
2. Install a fixed separator using which the insulation can be guaranteed to comply with the installation requirements in accordance with the conditions of overvoltage category III.
3. Protect the product by installing the following elements.
4. Electrical partition, 8 A, with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
5. Residual-current circuit breaker, 30 mA, to protect the electrical partition, 8 A.
6. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a competent person or electrician.

Carrying out the wiring

1. Guide the extra-low and low-voltage cables through different grommets on the rear of the product.

2. Ensure that the inner conductors’ insulation is not damaged when stripping the outer sheathing.

3. Remove max. 20 mm of insulation from the cables.
   Note
   If cables are stripped by more than 20 mm, you must secure them using cable ties.

4. Fit the stripped ends of the conductors with crimp pin terminals to ensure a secure connection that is free from loose strands and to thus prevent short circuits.

Start-up

Checking and preparing the cold water supply

• To guarantee that the product operates safely and to a satisfactory standard, ensure that the water supply meets the following criteria:
  • Minimum flow pressure: 150 kPa (1,500 mbar)
  • Maximum inlet supply pressure : 1,200 kPa (12,000 mbar)
  • Minimum water flow : 15 l/min
  • Maximum chlorine content : 250 mg/l
  • Maximum water hardness : 200 mg/l
• Ensure that the product’s cold water supply comes directly from the cold water network downstream of the main stopcock.
• Ensure that the cold water supply line has an internal diameter of at least 19 mm, and comply with the requirements of the water regulations for supplying hygienically safe potable water

If required, precautions can be taken to minimise the effects of the water hardness, for example by installing a water conditioner or a water softener. These devices must be installed in areas with hard water, in which high water cylinder temperatures above 60 °C are required, particularly at a water hardness above 200 ppm. If the product needs to be descaled, this must be carried out by a competent person.

Filling the domestic hot water circuit

Note
The cylinder must always be filled with water before the heating coil is activated. Otherwise, the component will be damaged and the guarantee will be voided.

1. Disconnect the product from the power grid.
2. Open the highest domestic hot water draw-off point in the installation.
3. Open the stopcock upstream of the safety assembly on the cold water inlet.
4. Fill the domestic hot water cylinder until water escapes at the highest draw-off point.
5. Close the domestic hot water draw-off point

Switching on the product

1. Before starting up the product, ensure that the plugs (1) have been removed from the condensate discharge connection.
2. Ensure that the stopcock upstream of the safety as-sembly at the cold water inlet is open.
3. Before switching on the power supply, ensure that the domestic hot water cylinder is full.
4. Ensure that the product has been connected to the power supply.

F Maximum water temperature

• A Air temperature (°C)
• B Water temperature that can be reached in heat pump mode P106 (°C)

The maximum temperature of the domestic hot water using only the heat pump depends on the air temperature. At an air temperature of 35 °C, the maximum water temperature that can be reached is 60 °C. At 45 °C, the maximum temperature is reduced to 55 °C. The water temperature is reduced by 1 °C for every 2 °C air temperature. The temperature difference between the set value and the maximum value that can be reached in the heat pump mode is regulated by the immersion heater.
