Installation conditions
6.1.1
Incoming inspection
Prior to shipping, this device was carefully inspected and packed. Damages
during transport cannot be excluded.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Upon receipt of the goods, check the shipment for
•
completeness and
•

2.
Document any damage.
3.
Contact the forwarding agent to register your complaint.
6.2
Preparatory work
Preparing the device installation:
•
Frost-free, well-ventilated room.
–
Room temperature range: 0 °C to 45 °C.
•
Filling connection.
–
If necessary, provide a DN 15 filling connection according to
DIN 1988 T 4.
•
Electric connection: 230 V~, 50 Hz, 16 A with upstream ELCB: Tripping
current 0.03 A.
6.3
Execution
ATTENTION
Damage due to improper installation
Additional device stresses may arise due to the connection of pipes or system
equipment.
•
Ensure that pipes are connected from the device to the system without
them being stressed or strained.
•
If necessary, provide support structures for the pipes or equipment.
Note!
Starting up of the pump causes vibration in the device. This transfers
loud noises into the system pipes.
–
Connect the pipes to the device using flexible connections.
In systems with a diaphragm expansion tank, the device must be installed in the
vicinity of the tank. To ensure that the required filling pressure for water make-
up is recorded by the pressure transducer in the device. The filling pressure
depends on the minimum operating pressure of the facility system. For
calculating the minimum operating pressure, see chapter 7.2 "Determining the
P
minimum operating pressure for the controller" on page 9 .
Proceed as follows for the installation:
1.
Position the device.
2.
Create the water-side connections of the device to the system.
–
Use connections with the same dimensions at the device for all lines.
3.
If required, create the interfaces according to the terminal plan.
6.3.1
Fitting the add-on components
WC Connection of the make-up line to the mains separator tank
OC Connection of the mains separator tank overflow
DC Connection of the make-up line to the system circuit
Install the following valves at the device:
•
One shut-off valve with dirt trap for the connection to the mains separator
tank.
•
One shut-off valve for the connection to the system circuit.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Carefully remove the front cover from the device.
2.
Remove the top cover from the device.
3.
Install the shut-off valve with dirt trap and intermediate ring at the
connection to the mains separator tank.
–
When tightening, ensure that the float valve in the mains separator
tank is not twisted.
4.
Check the vertical position of the float valve to prevent malfunction.
5.
Install the shut-off valve at the connection of the pump to the system
circuit.
6.
Extend the overflow from the mains separator tank.
–
Terminate the extension in a drain.
7.
Place the top cover onto the housing.
8.
Install the from housing cover of the device.
The valves are installed.
6.3.2
Wall mounting
Mount the device at the wall. Bore holes for wall mounting are provided on the
rear of the housing.
Select suitable fixing means according to the conditions below:
•
Structure and condition of the wall.
•
Device weight.
Note!
During installation, ensure the operability of the valves and the inlet
options for the connecting lines.
6.3.3
Hydraulic connection
6.3.3.1
Connection to the facility system
Note!
Starting up of the pump causes vibration in the device. This transfers
loud noises into the system pipes.
–
Connect the pipes to the device using flexible connections.
