11 Taking out of service
11.1 Temporary shutdown
If a heating or hot water supply is not to be required for a longer
period of time, it is possible to temporarily shut down the ROTEX
A1 BO. However, ROTEX recommends putting the system into
standby mode (see the documentation "ROTEX RoCon BF Con-
troller" Controller"). The heating system is then protected from
frost. The pumps and valve protection functions are active.
If it is not possible to guarantee the oil and power supply when
there is danger of frost,
– the ROTEX A1 BO must be drained
– the condensate box must be emptied,
– suitable antifreeze measures must be taken for the connected
heating system and hot water storage tank (e.g. draining).
Draining the heating system
Ɣ
Switch off the main switch and secure against restarting.
Ɣ
Close the stop valve on the oil filter.
Ɣ
Bleed all the water in the entire system at the filling and
draining sockets (KFE cock).
11.2 Final shutdown and disposal
For the final shutdown, the ROTEX A1 BO must be:
Ɣ
taken out of service,
Ɣ
disconnected from all electrical, oil and water connections,
Ɣ
disposed off in a professional manner.
Recommendations for disposal
The ROTEX A1 BO is designed to be environmentally friendly.
During the disposal process, the only waste created is that which
can be used for material or thermal recycling. The materials used
can be separated into different types.
CAUTION!
A heating system which is shut down can freeze in the
event of frost and may suffer damage.
Ɣ
Drain the heating system that is shut down if there
is danger of frost.
Ɣ
If the heating system is not drained and there is the
risk of frost, the oil and power supplies must be
secured and the main switch must remain switched
on.
ROTEX, thanks to the environmentally friendly design
of the ROTEX A1 BO, has established the precondi-
tions to ensure environmentally friendly disposal.
Proper disposal in compliance with the respective
national regulations of the country of use is the respon-
sibility of the user/owner.
