All temperature probes (GHP, GHP', B1, B3) must be 

placed and fixed in dedicated thermowells, with a length 

suitable to result immersed in water flow or in water 

mass, using thermal paste to ensure a good heat transfer.

In case one of the optional DHW preparation tanks is 

used (code OSRB012 or OSRB004), it is recommended to 

use the thermowell just above mid height for the probe 

B3.

Even in case other water tanks are used, place probe 

B3 in an intermediate position, possibly just above mid 

height.

 ASSEMBLY  AND  INSTALLATION

 

The System controller for the K18 is supplied preassembled and 

precabled in an IP55 rated enclosure. The protection rating is 

reduced if the included cable gland caps are used. Use suitable 

cable glands (not included) to maintain the indicated protection 

rating, if necessary.

Before installing the unit, check that the equipment is 

not connected to its power supply.

The cabling must satisfy the requirements of safety class 

II,   i�e� the mains power cables and the SELV cables 

must be ducted separately.

Also, keep a distance of at least 50 mm between the 

ducts that contain mains cables and those which con-

tain safety extra low voltage cables and between the two 

categories of cables inside the enclosure; to achieve this, 

with reference to Figure 2.1 

 p. 10, use:

 

„

 for the mains connections: the hole on the lower left 

side of the enclosure and if required, the two holes at 

the centre and at the top on its left side;

 

„

 for the safety extra low voltage connections: the 

two holes at the centre and on the lower right side 

of the enclosure and if required, the two holes at the 

centre and at the bottom on its right side.

Do NOT use the holes on the upper side of the enclo-

sure, the hole at the top on its right side and the one 

on the bottom on the left side�

The CSK18 and any other equipment and accessories 

must be powered up only when the installation is com-

plete. Failure to observe this instruction incurs a risk of 

electrocution and short-circuit.

The CSK18 must not be exposed to water.

The unit's ambient operating temperature range is 0 °C  

- 50 °C.
