•
Loading tube
•
Thermostat for circulator control (excluded for systems with natural circulation)
•
Circulation system (excluded for systems with natural circulation)
•
Device for acoustic alarm activation

Pressure indicator
•
Automatic cut-out switch (cut-out thermostat)
The temperature safety sensors must be on-board the heat generator or at a distance no greater than 30 cm
from the delivery connection.
If the heat generators are not equipped with all the devices, the missing ones can be installed on the
delivery piping of the generator, at a distance of no more than 1 m from it.

•
Temperature indicator
•
Pressure indicator
•
Acoustic alarm
•
Automatic thermal adjustment switch
•
Automatic thermal cut-out switch (cut-out thermostat)
•
Circulation system
•
Expansion system
•
Safety dissipation system incorporated into the generator with the blowdown valve (self-operated),
if the appliance is not equipped with a self-regulating temperature system
The temperature safety sensors must be on-board the heat generator or at a distance no greater than 30 cm
from the delivery connection.
If the generators are not equipped with all the devices, the missing ones can be installed on the delivery
piping of the generator, at a distance of no more than 1 m from the machine.
