At filling stations and fuel depots the heater must be
switched off to prevent explosions.
CAUTION
Where flammable fumes or dust may build up (e.g. in
the vicinity of fuel, coal, wood, cereal depots, or
similar installations) the heater must be switched off
to prevent explosions.
The heater must not be operated near flammable ma-
terials such as dry grass and leaves, cardboard
boxes, paper, etc.
In the vicinity of the water heater a temperature of 110 °C
(storage temperature) must not be exceeded under any
circumstances (e.g. during body paint work).
A violation of this temperature limit may cause permanent
damage to the electronics.
When checking the cooling water level proceed in
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
The water in the heating circuit of the heater must contain
a minimum of 10% of a quality brand anti-freeze.
Additives in the heating circuit must not affect metals,
plastics and rubber and must leave no deposits.
The opening pressure in the vehicle cooling system -
normally indicated on the radiator filler cap - must be
between 0.4 and 2.0 bar above operating pressure (also
applicable to separate heating circuits).
1.6 Legal Provisions for Installation
With effect from 4/03, Type Approvals pursuant to EC Di-
rectives 72/245/EEC (EMC) and 2001/56EC (Heating Sy-
stems) were granted for the heaters Thermo 230 / Thermo
231 / Thermo 300 / Thermo 301 / Thermo 350 with the fol-
lowing EC Type Approval Numbers:
e1*72/245*95/54*1010*--
e1*2001/56*0007*-- for Thermo 230
e1*2001/56*0008*-- for Thermo 300
e1*2001/56*0009*-- for Thermo 350
e1*2001/56*0010*-- for Thermo 231
e1*2001/56*0011*-- for Thermo 301
Up to 4/03, General Design Certifications existed for these
heaters.I
nstallation is governed above all by the provisions in
Annex VII of Directive 2001/56/EC.
NOTE:
The provisions of these Directives are binding within
the territory governed by EU Directive 70/156/EEC
and should similarly be observed in countries without
specific regulations.
(Extract from Directive 2001/56/EC Annex VII)
1.7.1. A clearly visible indicator within the user's field of
vision must show when the heater is switched on or off.
NOTE:
For further notes and provisions relating to the installation
of the heater in vehicles, refer to the installation instruc-
tions.
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes
contained therein will lead to all liability being refused by
Spheros. The same applies if repairs are carried out incor-
rectly or with the use of parts other than genuine spare
parts. This will result in the invalidation of the type appro-
val for the heater and therefore of its homologation / EC
type licence.
Installation Instructions for Spheros fuel tanks for the fuel
supply of water heaters in vehicles:
• in busses and trains the installation is not permitted in
the passengers’ or driver’s compartment.
• the fuel filler neck must not be located in the passen-
gers’ or driver’s compartment of any vehicle.
• fuel containers must either be equipped with a vent
cap or any other type of ventilation (vent line).
Only vent caps in accordance with DIN 73400 may be
used.All fuel containers offered in the Spheros Accesso-
ries Catalogue are suitable for a maximum operating pres-
sure of 0.15 bar overpressure.
All fuel containers offered in the Spheros Accessories Ca-
talogue are subjected during manufacture to individual
pressure testing with at least 0.3 bar overpressure.
• The operational state of the heater, i.e. at least an
indication "on" or "off" must be easily and clearly visi-
ble.
For heaters in vehicles not ruled by the EU Directive but
other regulations, the acceptance by the relevant authori-
ty is required as applicable.
