Test, over-pressure and 
drain valve

The over-pressure valve is the cut-off point
between the supply line and return line. The
over-pressure valve comes into operation
when the maximum set pressure of 4 bar is
exceeded. The proper operation of the valve
can be checked by actuating it manually. It
also enables the pressure to be relieved in
the complete piping system and the storage
vessel, and the draining of the unit.

Non-return valve

The non-return valve prevents return flow or
loss of pressure in the oil already pumped
into the pressure storage vessel and the
supply line. During the pumping process, a
small quantity of oil flows back into the sup-
ply tank through the ventilation nozzle in the
non-return valve. Most of the air sucked in
also escapes with this small quantity of oil.

Pressure switch

The pressure switch switches the motor on
at a lower working pressure of approx. 1.6
bar, and switches it off again on reaching the
upper working pressure of approx. 2.6 bar.
The pressure range can be regulated upward
in the case of supply heights of over 15 m. 
This is done by screwing in the pressure set-
ting screw, using a small screwdriver or
small pin of max. 1.5 mm diameter in the
four slots of the pressure setting screw. The
safety cut-off must in this case be adjusted
to the lower working pressure of minus 0.1
bar. The pressure for the safety cut-off is
reduced by screwing the cross-head screw
in, and increased by screwing it out. In the
event of a drop in pressure to below the set
pressure as a result of a power failure, lack
of oil or break in the line, the safety cut-off
switches to “fault”, and the control lamp
lights up.

The installation, connection and testing of
heating oil supply systems must be carried
out in accordance with DIN 4755 Part 2. The
unit can be installed up to 1.5 m below the
upper tank level. The maximum suction head
of 3 m must not be exceeded. About 1.0 m
of suction head must be deducted for every
10 m of horizontal suction distance.

Example:

Horizontal           =  2,0 m

suction distance

Calculated suction head        1,7 m

The unit is mounted horizontally against the
wall. The unit is easy to adjust by means of
the movable assembly plates.
The leak detection system LS 1 (Art. No.
800.912) with collecting trough must be
mounted under the device.

Suction line

The installation of a filter in the suction line is
not necessary, since a filter of adequate
capacity with a mesh size of 0.1 mm is 
already built into the unit. The suction line
should terminate at least 5 cm above the
tank floor.

No non-return valve may be
installed.

Normal suction lines on plastic battery tanks
or the corresponding tank connection
301.912 for individual tanks fulfil the above
requirements.

Return line

The return line should be installed so that it
terminates directly below the tank connec-
tion. It must not be immersed in the oil, since
most of the air sucked in is returned to the
supply tank via the return line.
No shut-off valve may be installed.

Supply line

OILPRESS pressure storage units allow the
use of a single-line supply system (see
Piping diagram). The line can be laid in any
way required. Oil pressure regulators must
be installed so that the permissible pressure
range of the oil regulator of 125 mm – 3000
mm of oil is not exceeded at the combustion
point. The line from the oil pressure regulator
to the oil regulator should be laid at an 
incline. When used for the supply of atomising
burners, the user must check whether a
pressure regulator should also be installed.

The installation and maintenance instructions  
are intended only for qualified technicians!

1.

  Open all valves in the system, including 

     the inlet valve at the oil regulator.

2.

  Insert the plug into the socket. The control

     lamp will light up.

3.

  Press down the push button on the under-

     side of the unit. The pressure storage unit
     ventilates itself automatically.

4.

  Press down the push button until the

pointer of the manometer has reached the
green area (this may take up to 10 min.).
The unit then starts to operate automatical-
ly. On reaching the upper cut-off pressure
(approx. 2.6 bar), the unit switches off.

5.

  For testing purposes, the button of the

     over-pressure valve   is now slightly
     withdrawn  until  the  motor  starts  again.
     Note the starting pressure, which should
     be approx. 1.6 bar.

following lack of oil or power failure

Check whether the manometer is still shoz
button until the motor continues to run auto-
matically. If the manometer shows no pres-
sure, restart as described under 

“Starting

and ventilation”.

The installation and electrical connection of
the unit, commissioning and maintenance,
must be carried out by a qualified technician.
In the event of maintenance work, and before
removing the cover hood, the unit must be
disconnected from the power supply by
removing the plug, and the pressure in the
pressure storage vessel must be relieved.

The operating instructions must be kept in
the vicinity of the system following installation.

An essential requirement for smooth opera-
tion of the pressure storage units is proper
installation in accordance with the technical
rules applicable to the planning, installation
and operation of the complete system.

The pressure storage units and the corre-
sponding pipes must be installed so that
they are protected against frost.

Heating oil is a material harmful to water.
Spilt or leaked heating oil must be disposed
of properly. All components which have
come into contact with heating oil must be
disposed of properly in accordance with
applicable disposal regulations.

This device is not intended for use by people
(incl. children) with restricted physical, sen-
sory or intellectual abilities or lack of expe-
rience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for
their saftey or received, from this person,
instructions about how to use the device.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the device.

If the device’s power cable is damaged it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s customer service or a simi-
larly qualified specialist.
