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 stresses being induced. 

 

If necessary, provide support structures for the pipes or equipment. 

 

 

For installation, proceed as follows: 

 

Position the device. 

 

Complete the primary tank and the optional secondary tanks. 

 

Create the water-side connections of the control unit to the system. 

 

Create the interfaces according to the terminal plan. 

 

Install the water connections between optional secondary tanks to each other and to the primary tank. 

 

 

Notice! 

For installation, note the operability of the valves and the inlet options of the connecting lines. 

 

 

6.3.1

 

Positioning 

 

Determine the positions for the control unit and the "VG" and 
"VF" tanks (if used). 
–   The control unit can be installed on either side or in front of 

the "VG" primary tank. The distance of the control unit to 
the primary tank results from the connection set supplied.
