Example:
Bleed screws
’variomat 2-2/60’
The following information applies to all ’variomat’ systems with VG basic vessel and/or
one or more VF secondary vessels (expansion vessels).
Important: The VG and VF vessels must be empty for setting of the ’variomat’
controller. Auto-zeroing of the level gauge must therefore be performed before
the vessels are filled (see start routine/customer menu).
Filling with a hose using the filling and draining tap (17) on the vessel.
This variant is recommended and useful if the automatic water make-up facility of the
’variomat’ has not yet been connected on the water side.
To do this, connect a water hose from the water supply to the filling and draining tap
(17) on the vessel. Open the protected shut-offs between the control unit and the vessel
(factory setting: open).
Prerequisite: The VG basic vessel of the ’variomat’ is filled (see abovementioned
point) and protected ball valves (21) are open (factory setting: open).
Loosen the bleed screw (9) of the pressure-maintaining pump and bleed the pump
until water containing no bubbles runs out. Tighten the bleed screw again and check
for watertightness. For ’variomat 2-2’, repeat procedure for second pump.
It may be necessary to repeat this process several times if the delivery performance
of the pump/pumps remains poor.
Caution must be exercised at high temperatures!
Note the general safety instructions!
