1.2 Safety instructions
Read all instructions before installing. Perform the steps in the indicated sequence. Has the DHW tank been inspected by a trained service technician at least once every year? Failure to comply with these instructions can result in severe, possibly fatal, personal injury as well as damage to property and equipment.

Installation and servicing
▶ Risk of fire from soldering and brazing!
Take appropriate safety measures when soldering and brazing as the thermal insulation are flammable.
▶ Ensure that only a licensed contractor installs or services the DHW tank.
▶ Use installation material with adequate temperature stability.
Forbidden:
Connection of the potentiostat for an impressed current anode to the magnesium anode installed in a storage tank is absolutely forbidden!
This would destroy the tank! The warranty would be voided.
Installation and commissioning
▶ Have an electrician connect the electrical system. The wiring diagram must be followed.
▶ Do not install this device in rooms with a high moisture level (e.g. bathrooms, saunas).

Function
▶ To ensure that the tank functions properly, heed these installation and maintenance instructions.
▶ Never close the blow-off line of the T&P safety valve.
For safety reasons, water may escape during heating.
Danger from electric shock
▶ Only electricians may work on the electrical system.
▶ Before performing electrical work, disconnect the power cable and secure the unit against unintentional reconnection.
▶ Ensure the system has been disconnected from the power supply.
Risk of scalding at the hot water draw-off point
▶ When the DHW tank is in operation, temperatures in excess of 122 °F (50 °C) can occur. To limit the temperature at the tap, install a thermostatic DHW mixing valve.
▶ Water heated for washing the laundry, dishes, and for other cleaning purposes can cause scalding and permanent injuries.
▶ Children, elderly, and mentally impaired persons are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water. Never leave such individuals in the tub or shower unattended under any circumstances. Children must not be allowed to operate hot water faucets themselves or to fill a bathtub.
▶ If the building has occupants in the above groups who operate hot water faucets, or state laws / local ordinances stipulate specific water temperatures, take the following  precautions:
– Use the lowest possible temperature setting.
– To prevent scalding, install a tempering device, such as an automatic mixing valve, at a hot water tap or water heater. Select and install the automatic mixing valve in accordance with the valve manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions.
▶ Water exiting from drain valves can be extremely hot. To avoid injuries:
– Check that all connections are tight.
– Direct exiting water away from people.
▶ Measures must be taken to protect against excessive temperature and pressure! Installation of a T&P safety valve is required.
The chart below shows the relationship between water temperature and time until there is a risk of scalding. It can be used as the basis for determining the safest water temperature for your application.

[4] Magnesium anode
▶ Unscrew the hex bolts (→Fig. 16 [1]) from the handhole cover [2].
▶ Remove the handhole cover together with the handhole cover gasket [3] and the magnesium anode [4] from the DHW tank.

9.2 Descaling/cleaning the tank
▶ Check the DHW tank interior for scale deposits (calcium).
NOTICE: Risk of tank damage due to damaged enamel.
▶ Never use hard objects or tools with sharp edges to clean the interior of the tank

If scale deposits have formed in the DHW tank:
▶ Hose down the interior of the tank with a “high-pressure” (~ 58…72.5 psi (~ 4…5 bar)) a jet of cold water (→ Fig. 17).

You can increase the cleaning effect by heating up the heat exchanger in the drained tank before spraying it out.
The thermal shock effect releases scale deposits more easily from the coil- type heat exchanger.
▶ Use a wet/dry vacuum with a plastic suction pipe to remove any residues.
If extremely encrusted scale deposits have formed in the DHW tank:
▶ Hire someone to perform the chemical cleaning.

WARNING: Danger from improper use of the cleanser.
▶ Have a qualified contractor carry out the chemical cleaning operation.

NOTICE: The enamel layer may be damaged if the acid is too strong.
▶ Have a qualified contractor carry out the chemical cleaning operation.

9.3 Checking the magnesium anode
The magnesium anode is a sacrificial anode that is consumed during the operation of the DHW tank.

If the magnesium anode is not serviced properly, the warranty is void.
Annual service records must be kept in a safe location and submitted together with the original purchase receipt in the event of a warranty claim.

To determine whether the magnesium anode must be replaced:
▶ Check the magnesium anode annually.
The surface of the magnesium anode must be free of deposits. The magnesium anode must be replaced when:

• Deposits have formed

• The surface area has increased as the result of deposits

• Diameter is reduced to < 5/8″ (15 mm)
  Certain installations may require more frequent replacement of the magnesium anode rod:

•  Recirculation connection

• Poor water quality

• Galvanic/electrolytic corrosion

• High flow rate
  In the event of poor water quality, it is recommended that a water treatment professional be consulted for water treatment options.

Never bring the magnesium anode surface in contact with oil or grease.
▶ Keep everything clean.

9.3.1 Testing with the anode tester
We recommend that the protection current be measured annually with the aid of an anode tester. The anode tester is available as an accessory.

Follow the operating instructions for the anode tester.

Insulated installation of the magnesium anode is a prerequisite for use of an anode tester to measure the protection current (→Fig. 18).
The protection current can be measured only with a water-filled storage tank.
▶ Ensure proper contact of the connecting terminals.
▶ Connect terminals to shiny metal surfaces only.
▶ Loosen the ground wire [6] (contact cable between the sacrificial anode and storage tank) at one of the two connection points.
▶ Attach red cable [1] to the sacrificial anode.
▶ Attach black cable [7] to the storage tank.
▶ If the ground wire has a plug: Attach red cable [1] to the threads of the magnesium anode [5]. Remove the ground wire [6] for the measurement.
▶ Replace magnesium anode if the anode current is < 0.3 mA.
▶ After every test, it is essential that the ground wire [6] always be reattached properly.

9.4 Startup after maintenance

NOTICE: Risk of system damage from faulty gasket!
To prevent leaks on the DHW tank:
▶ Use a new handhole cover gasket [4] after every maintenance.

▶ Refit handhole cover (→Fig. 20 [3]) with a new handhole cover gasket [4].
▶ Attach the eyelet of the ground wire [2] with a hex bolt [1] and a serrated washer.

NOTICE: Risk of system damage from corrosion.
To ensure that the magnesium anode functions properly:
▶ Fasten the eyelet of the ground wire to the handhole cover with a hex bolt to ensure good electrical conductivity.
▶ Thread hex bolts [1] into handhole cover [3] “hand-tight”.
▶ Then use a torque wrench to tighten the hex bolts [1] to 18-22 ft-lbs/25-30 Nm.
▶ Fill the DHW tank and restart the heating system.
▶ Check all connections and the handhole cover for leaks.
