5.12 Filling the heating system and checking for leaks
NOTE
Escaping water!
Water damage
► Check all hydraulic pipework for leaks.
Fill the system and vent it completely to ensure that the heat generator functions without any faults.
Preparation
► Flush the heating system before connecting the heat generator. This remove residues such as weld
beads, hemp, putty, etc. from the pipework.
► Open the cover of the air vent valve on the TS stratification cylinder.
► Loosen the locking cap on the air vent valve in the heat generator by one revolution.
► Open all radiator valves.
► Ensure that water quality requirements are met (
Table 4.3 Electrical conductivity and water hardness
5.12.1 Filling the heating system
► With the entire heating system (heating circuit, heat generator, cylinder) in a cold condition, slowly fill
the system via the inspection/BDF valve on the heating return until approx. 2 bar (1.5 to 2.5) pressure
is indicated
► Slowly open the expansion vessel.

5.13 Checking the pH value
Chemical reactions can change the pH level.
► Check pH level 8 to 12 weeks after commissioning.
pH level is within the specified range:
► no measures required.
pH level is not within the specified range:
► implement measures.
► Add alkalising additives.
5.14 Control modules
The control modules are used to set or display specific parameters of the heat generator.
BM-2 programming unit
This control module communicates with the heat generator and all connected extension modules via
eBus.
AM display module
This control module functions as a display module for the heat generator.
