17. Plastic pipes at the inlet and outlet may be used to connect the water heater, and in the case of the outlet pipes, their strength shall be at least 20 bar at 70°C.
18. Make sure that the heater is not emptied of water, which may occur if there is no water in the supply network.
19. Failure to install the magnetic filter on the water supply pipe can cause unit damage.
20. Lime scale built-up on the heater’s elements may limit water flow and lead to heater damage. Such damages are not subjected to warranty rights. Water heater and sanitary fittings should be periodically descaled, whereas, the frequency of this process should be adjusted to water hardness in given installation. Lime scale built-up may be partially limited by the usage of magnetic descalers installed on the cold water inlet pipe.
21. Appropriate precautions must be taken when using hot water. The temperature of water over 40°C may cause hot feeling and can be dangerous for children, whereas, temperature above 50°C may lead to first-degree burns (especially amongst small children).

DIMENSION

While mounting the room thermostat make sure there is no voltage on its entry!
Do not connect any voltage into RT, NA, Tos entries. This can result in permanent controller damage.

1. Hang the boiler up in a vertical position on fixing screws with the inlet and outlet pipes to the bottom, maintaining clearance from the walls and the ceiling.
2. Connect the boiler to the central heating system equipped with cutoff valves.
3. Fill the central heating system with treated water or non-freezing liquid.
4. Connect the water heater to the water system.
5. Vent the central heating system.
6. Open the cold water supply valve and check the tightness of the water connections.
7. Vent the DHW system according to the ” DHW system venting” section.
8. Connect the device to the electric system.
9. Mount the room thermostat in accordance with the device’s manual.
10. Connect the room thermostat (by using two wires 2 x 0,35 mm2) to the terminal of the control panel (RT entry).
11. Once you have finished the above procedures, you can start the boiler. See the „Start-up” section.

Boiler connection to the CH system

• ZK – cut-off valve
• ZT – thermostatic valve
• ZP – passage valve
• F – magnetic filter
• G – radiator
• RT – room temperature thermostat
• Tos – outside temp. sensor WE-027
• Z – drain valve

Connection of external appliances

• Room thermostat (RT entry) – when the voltage free contact gets opened the boiler will stop heating. The entry is responsible for boiler’s control depending on the room temperature (room thermostat connection details – section ‘Installation ‘, sub clause 10).
• Master appliance (MA entry) – you can limit the power used, i.e. the boiler can be switched off while another appliance consumes electricity. To do it, an electrician should install in line an extra open contact to the MA entry (voltage free entry), so that when a master appliance gets on, the contact will be opened and the boiler will be switched off. When the MA contact gets opened, heating will be turned off and the pump will be stopped. If the device works as a secondary heat source, the master boiler stops the heating by opening the MA contact.
• WE-027 outside temperature sensor (Tos entry) – for connection details please, refer to the figure. If there is need to extend the wire- it is necessary to make it as short as possible. The wires should not run close to mains cables and they must not go around other electric wires. It is recommended to mount the sensor on the northern or north-west facade of the building away from windows and exhaust fans.
• Note! If outside temperature sensor hasn’t been connected then it is necessary to switch off the weather compesation in the advanced settings section.

DHW system venting

1. Shut off the heater’s electric supply.
2. Turn the flow on (turn the hot water tap on) in order to vent the water installation (for about 15-30 seconds), until the flow of water becomes constant and even.
3. Switch on the electric supply.

Start up – CH system

1. Check if the required pressure has been reached within the installation (see section “Technical Data”). In order to check it use or button when the control panel is „on’’.
   Flashing A symbol (see section “Failures”) indicates too low installation pressure. The above description does not apply to open-type installations.

2. Set the pump at constant mode (see section “Advanced settings”).

3. Switch the boiler on (press the button).

4. Check if the appropriate medium flow rate has been reached (the „H” indicator is on with a constant light). The pump should auto-vent itself after a short working time, however, if necessary, vent the pump in the following way:

5. close the cut-off valve on the outlet,

6. let the boiler with the pump on run for 15-30 s.

7. open the cut-off valve.

8. Switch the boiler off (press and hold button for 3 seconds).

9. Set the pump at automatic mode (see section “Advanced settings”).

10. Connect the room thermostat.

11. Switch the boiler on (press ).

12. Set parameters of heating curve adjusted to the building (heating curve coefficient and offset) – see section “Advanced settings”. Reset of the curve’s slope switches off weather compensation and starts boiler’s operation in accordance with manual adjustments of the installation
