5.1 Initial start-up
Once the ROTEX A1 is installed and fully connected, it can be put
into operation by expert technicians.
Requirements
– The ROTEX A1 is installed correctly.
– The ROTEX A1 is fully connected.
– The heating system is filled and charged at the correct pres-
sure.
– The control valves of the heating system are open.
Tests prior to start-up
Ɣ
Check all connections for leakage.
Ɣ
Check all the points in the checklist in section 5.2. Log the test
results on the checklist.
Only if
all points
on the checklist can be answered with
yes
may
the ROTEX A1 be put into operation on a
temporarary
basis.
Start-up
Ɣ
Leave the gas isolation valve closed for the moment.
Ɣ
Remove the sound insulation hood (see chapter 9.2.1).
Ɣ
Switch on the mains switch. Wait for the start phase.
Ɣ
Set the controller to the system-Configuration (see documen-
tation "ROTEX RoCon BF Controller").
Observe the instructions for the initial commissioning.
Ɣ
Open gas isolation valve.
Ɣ
Set Manual Operation on the ROTEX Controller RoCon BF
[Special Level] (see documentation "ROTEX Controller
RoCon BF").
Ɣ

WARNING!
If not started up properly, a ROTEX A1 can be a
health and safety risk endangering human life and its
operation may be adversely affected.
Ɣ
The ROTEX A1 may only be started up by
authorised and trained heating experts.
CAUTION!
A ROTEX A1 which was put into operation incorrectly
can cause damge to property and the environment.
Ɣ
Observe the relevant regulations of technology to
prevent creation of corrosion products and
deposits.
Ɣ
Measures for desalination, softening or hardness
stabilization are necessary, if the filling and top-up
water has a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l - sum
of the calcium and magnesium concentrations,
calculated as calcium carbonate).
– We recommend Fernox anti lime- and anticor-
rosive agent
KSK
(
15 60 50)
.
Ɣ
Whilst the installation is running, the water
pressure is monitored automatically by the boiler
control system. If the water pressure is too low,
this will be displayed in the boiler control system,
fill up if necessary.
