STUDY THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
The boiler (as well as all its optional
accessories) complies with the
requirements of European Directive
90/396/EEC on gas-fuelled appliances
and European Directive 92/42/EEC
on ef
fi
ciency, the European Directive
2006/95/EC on electrical means of
operation for use in certain voltage ranges
and the European Directive 89/336/EEC
on electromagnetic compatibility.
The appliance is also approved according
to the European norms EN 677, EN 625,
EN 60335-01, EN 50165, EN 55014, EN
61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3.
In order to operate and handle the boiler
in accordance with the purpose for which
it is designed in actual conditions of use
(hereafter referred to only as use), it is
necessary to abide also by additional
conditions – the most essential of which
(i.e. those which must not be omitted)
are found in the following regulatory
documents:
- in the design area: STN 06 0310 and
STN 06 0830;
- in the
fi
re safety area: STN 92 0300;
- for installation and
fi
tting (and repairs):
STN EN 1755 or STN 38 6460, as
applicable STN 38 6462, Decree no.
48/1982 Coll. (as amended by the
later prescriptions) and the binding
occupational health regulations;
- in time of running and operation: STN 38
6405;
- in the area of discharge of combustion
gases and air in
fl
ow STN EN 483,
company material – “catalogue of dual
piping for discharge of combustion gases
and in
fl
ow of combustion air designated
for type C gas appliances, i.e. in closed
“TURBO” version.
The boiler is designated for operation
within the normal AA5/AB5 environment in
compliance with STN 33 2000-3 and STN
33 2000-5-51 (i.e. a temperature range of
5 – 40°C, temperature-dependent humidity
to a max. of 85%).
GEPARD boilers are suitable for the
conditions of zones 1, 2 and 3, in rooms
with a bath or shower and in washing
areas as set out in STN 33 2000-7-701;
they may not be installed in zone 0 (Fig.8).
Before installation in the areas mentioned,
protection against electric shocks must be
provided for according to the same norms.
The boiler complies with Ministry of Health
Decree No 13/1977 Coll., i.e. on noise, for
installation in residential and public areas.
The boilers are built to operate with
heating water, in compliance with STN 07
7401. (Above all, the water must never
be acidic, i.e. its pH must be higher than
7 and it should have minimal carbonate
hardness.)
The requirements regarding the
characteristics of domestic water are
set out in STN 83 0616 (potable water
STN 75 7111). With regards to water with
total material concentrations of calcium
and magnesium greater than 1.8 mmol/l,
further “non-chemical“ measures against
scale deposits (e.g. operation of magnetic
water treatments in combination with
settling equipment) are advisable.
Silting up of the boiler with contaminants
from the heating system or the settling of
boiler scale on these disturbances, or on
induced disturbances (e.g. silting up of the
exchanger, pump breakdowns) are not
covered by the boiler warranty.
The distance from
fl
ammable materials
(e.g. PVC,
fi
breboard, polyurethane,
synthetic
fi
bres, rubber etc.) must be
