WARNING!

To prevent flue gas from escaping, the storage tank must be 
filled to overflow when starting up the ROTEX GCU compact.

WARNING!

High temperatures can occur in the solar storage tank. 
Therefore, sufficient scalding protection must be included when 
the hot water system is installed (automatic hot water mixing 
device).

CAUTION!

The ROTEX units can also be optionally fitted with gravity 
breaks (

 

16 50 70

) made of plastic. They are suitable for 

maximum operating temperatures of 95 °C. If a heat exchanger 
is operated at temperatures greater than 95 °C, another gravity 
brake must be installed in the building.

A selection of diagrams of the most common systems 
is shown below. The arrangements shown are only 
examples, and are no substitute for careful system 
planning. Please visit the ROTEX website for more dia-
