3 Notes for operating a heating system
Carrying out modifications to the system and changing or disabling safety equipment
is prohibited.
Always comply with all fire, building and electrical regulations when installing or
operating the system, in addition to following the operating instructions and mandatory
regulations that apply in the country in which the tank is operated.
3.1 Installation and approval of the heating system
The boiler should be operated in a closed heating system. The following standards
govern the installation:
EN 12828 - Heating Systems in Buildings
NOTICE! Each heating system must be officially approved.
The appropriate supervisory authority (inspection agency) must always be informed
when installing or modifying a heating system, and authorisation must be obtained
from the building authorities:
Austria: report to the construction authorities of the community or magistrate
Germany: report new installations to an approved chimney sweep / the building
authorities.
3.2 General information for installation room (boiler room)
Boiler room characteristics
▪ The floor must be even, clean and dry and have an adequate load-bearing
capacity.
▪ There must not be a potentially explosive atmosphere in the boiler room as the
boiler is not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
▪ The boiler room must be frost-free.
▪ The boiler does not provide any light, so the customer must ensure sufficient
lighting in the boiler room in accordance with national workplace design
regulations.
▪ When using the boiler above 2000 metres above sea level you should consult the
manufacturer.
▪ Danger of fire due to flammable materials.
The floor of the boiler room must not be flammable. No flammable materials
should be stored near the boiler. Flammable objects (e.g. clothing) must not be put
on the boiler to dry.
▪ Damage due to impurities in combustion air.
Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents containing chlorine and hydrogen
halides in the room where the boiler is installed (e.g. chlorination units for
swimming pools).
▪ Keep the air suction opening of the boiler free of dust.
