Volume of the heating system
You must maintain the minimum installation water
volume
. Install a bu
ff
er tank on the return from the
heating circuit in case the volume is lower than this
value. Where the system is
fi
tted with one or more
thermostatic valves, you must ensure that this minimum
water volume is able to circulate.

DHW circuit
Mandatory
: On the cold water inlet, place a safety valve
calibrated to between 7 and 10 bar max. (depending
on local regulations) and connected to a drain pipe
leading to the sewer. The drain pipe must be left open
to the atmosphere. The drain pipe must be installed
in an environment kept frost-free and in a continuous
downward slope. Operate the safety valve according to
manufacturer's speci
fi
cations. The domestic hot water
tank must be fed with cold water passing through a
safety valve. There must be no other valves between
the safety valve and the tank.
We recommend installing a thermostatic mixing valve
on the hot water outlet.

Filling and bleeding the installation
Check the pipe
fi
xings, tightness of the connectors and
the stability of the hydraulic unit.
Check the direction in which the water is circulating and
that all the valves are open.
Proceed to
fi
ll the installation.
Do not operate the circulation pump during
fi
lling.
Open all the drain valves in the installation and the
bleeder valve on the hydraulic unit (
P
) to expel the air
contained in the pipes.
Close the drain valves and add water until the pressure
in the hydraulic circuit reaches 1 bar.
Check that the hydraulic circuit has been bled correctly.
Check there are no leaks.
After the "
"
Commissioning", page 46
" stage, and
once the machine has started, bleed the hydraulic unit
again (2 litres of water).
Precise
fi
lling pressure is determined by the
water pressure in the installation.
