The exhaust system must be attached securely and
properly according to the manufacturer’s specifica-
tions.
It is preferable to have a horizontal exhaust line that
is as short as possible (Incline 2 % = 2 cm/m).
You should plan to have a closable opening for per-
forming measurements at a distance of 2 x
ex-
haust pipe behind the unit connection. Under certain
circumstances, it is possible to measure the exhaust
opening.
Initial operation
Initial operation of the unit and its forced-air burner
must be performed by the manufacturer or one of its
authorised service representatives. During this process,
all regulating, control and safety mechanisms must be
checked to ensure that they are functioning properly
and set correctly.
Oil fired units may only be put into initial operation by
authorised personnel.
Make sure that the fan’s screws and bolts and
burner attachments are secure.
Open the blow-out grille if necessary and adjust it as
required.
Check the settings of the safety devices.
Adjust the throughput for the heating oil or gas to
meet the heating capacity of the unit.
See the unit’s type plate.
Switch the customer-supplied main switch or fuse on.
Set the burner to the optimum values in accordance
with the manufacturer’s specifications.
Measure the chimney draught when cold and hot.
Make sure to maintain a safe distance to flamma-
ble materials!
Important information about corrosion in the heat-
exchanger
.
The exhaust gas temperature difference may not
fall below 160 Kelvin.
This keeps the temperature from falling below the dew
point and prevents the resulting corrosion in the heat-
exchanger.
If the unit is not set to its rated heat load or it is too
large for the necessary heat requirements, the
burner only runs in cyclical operation. Because the
required operating temperature is not reached in cy-
clical operation, more condensation accumulates
and there is more corrosion in the heat-exchanger.
Starting
Heating Mode
The unit runs fully automatically with the temperature
which has been pre-selected.
1. Turn the customer-supplied main
switch or the fuse on.
2. Open the fuel supply.
3. Set the operating switch to “I”.
The green operating light lights up.
4. Pre-select desired room temperature
on the room thermostat.
Room thermostat as an REMKO ac-
cessory.
Ventilation
In this position only the supply air fan runs and the unit
can be used for air circulation.
Unit Shut Down
Set the operating switch to “0”.
The green operating light goes out.
Steps following initial operation
Keep a protocol of measurements and submit it to
the operator for safekeeping. Familiarise the opera-
tor with the system
.
Give the statement confirming the authorised com-
pany status and the company certificate of the re-
spective installation company to the relevant authori-
ties.
1. Set the operating switch to “II”.
2. Keep in mind that the unit’s fan runs
continuously.
It is not possible to control it with a
thermostat
Keep in mind that the air supply fan continues running
to cool down the heat-exchanger and can run several
times before the unit is finally switched off.
If the unit is taken out of operation for a
longer period of time, the customer-
supplied main switch or the fuse should be
switched off and the fuel supply closed off.
Never interrupt (except in emergency situations)
the power supply until the cool-down phase is
completely finished. Our guarantee does not cover
damages caused to the unit by overheating.
