STORAGE TANK UNIT
INSTALLATION
1.1 INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS.
The place of installation of the appliance and relative Immergas
accessories must have suitable features (technical and structural)
such to allow (always in safety, efficiency and comfortable condi-
tions):
- installation (according to the provisions of the technical legisla-
tion and technical regulations);
- maintenance operations (including scheduled, periodic, routine
and special maintenance);
- removal (to outdoors in the place for loading and transporting
the appliances and components) as well as their eventual replace-
ment with appliances and/or equivalent components.
Only professionally enabled companies are authorised to install
Immergas appliances.
Installation must be carried out according to regulation standards,
current legislation and in compliance with local technical regula-
tions and the required technical procedures. Before installing the
storage tank unit, ensure that it is delivered in perfect condition;
if in doubt, contact the supplier immediately. Packing materials
(staples, nails, plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) constitute a
hazard and must be kept out of the reach of children.
If the storage tank unit is installed inside or between cabinets,
ensure there is sufficient space for normal servicing. It is advisable
to leave an adequate gap between the storage tank casing and the
sides of the cabinet.
A space of at least 650 mm is to be left in the upper part and 450
mm in the inspection and sacrificial anode connection areas.
In the event of a malfunction, fault or incorrect -operation, disable
the storage tank unit and contact an authorised company (e.g. the
Authorised Technical Assistance centre, which has specifically
trained staff and original spare parts).
Do not attempt to modify or repair the appliance alone. Immergas
is to comply with the conditions specified in the conventional war-
ranty contract during the period of validity of the said warranty.
Failure to comply with the above implies personal responsibility
and invalidates the warranty.
• Installation regulations: previously check the features of the
place of installation regarding clearance and total weight of the
accumulation, if necessary placing a support surface under the
storage tank in order to optimise distribution of the weight. These
storage tanks have been designed only for floor installation; they
must be used for the storage of domestic hot water for domestic
and similar uses. They have not been designed for wall instal-
lation. Make sure that the volume and pre-charged pressure of
the expansion tank of the secondary circuit are suitable for the
system;
N.B.:
It is mandatory to have a properly sized safety valve and
expansion vessel to place on both hydraulic circuits.
Important:
this storage unit is used to produce and store hot water;
it must therefore be connected to a heating plant, to a domestic
hot water distribution network and a water system, which are
compatible with its performance and power. The materials used
for the installation and connection must be completely compatible
with the minimum features requested for solar use.
It must be installed in an environment where the temperature
cannot fall below°C. It must not be exposed to atmospheric agents.
