UNPACKING THE PRODUCT
R
RBS 2S
solar heaters are supplied in a single package on a
wooden pallet.
The insulation and the lining components of the models 800
and 1000 are supplied separately from the structural work and
are to be assembled upon receiving the product as described
in the paragraph "Assembly of the insulation and the lining
(models 800 - 1000)". For these models the magnesium anode
is supplied in a cardboard box.
The following items are delivered in a plastic bag inside the
packaging:
− Instruction manual
− Bar code label
− Hydraulic test certificate
− Energy label (to be applied to device upon installation)
− No. 4 adjustable feet to be mounted during installation
(for models 800 - 1000 only).

The instruction manual is an integral part of the solar stor-
age cylinder. Once located, read it thoroughly and keep it
safe.

(MODELS 800 - 1000)
The assembly of the insulation and lining components must be
performed at the site of installation to facilitate passage through
any doors and/or entries to the room.

Proceed as follows:
− Fit the magnesium anode (6) with its seal in the sleeve
and fix it in place
− Assemble the insulating covers (1) around the body of
the heater, making sure that the engagement points on
the edges are positioned correctly. The edges are not re-
quired to be closed completely
− Place the front protection plate (3) correctly on the at-
tachments
− Place the washers on the attachments and the protec-
tion for the inspection flange (4)
− Place the rear protection plate by closing the interlock-
ing flaps (L) without closing completely (leave one tooth
open)
− Apply the upper insulation (2) and the upper cover (5) (in
order to insert the cover, exert a light and homogeneous
pressure)
− Close the interlocking flaps (L) completely, which were
previously left with an open tooth
− Fit the cover of the inspection flange using the two
self-tapping screws (7) provided
− Apply the technical data plate and serial number plate.
If disassembling is required, proceed in reverse order.

Installation in older systems and systems
requiring modernisation
When installing
R
RBS 2S
storage cylinders in old systems or
systems requiring modernisation, always perform the following
checks.
− Make sure that the system is fitted with safety and con-
trol devices in accordance with applicable legislation and
standards
− Make sure that the central heating circuit has been
flushed out to remove all sludge and lime scale, and has
been vented and seal tested
− Make sure that a suitable water treatment system is in-
stalled if the quality of the supply/recirculation water so
demands (refer to the reference values listed in the table
alongside).
