1.3 Safety device and function check
Check the function of all safety devices (such as Pressure Relief Valve and Low Water Cut-off, and others if requi-
red and installed) annually, according to the manufacturers‘ recommendations.
WARNING
To prevent burns and other injuries resulting from contact with hot water, test all
safety devices only when unit is turned off and has cooled completely.
If you have an annual maintenance contract with a certified Windhager partner, these tests will be completed
during their routine maintenance work.
EN 12828 and
ÖNORM B8131 require that the function of the system and related safety equipment be checked
and certified yearly by a qualified technician (installer, heating system contractor).
At two-year intervals, the heating water condition must be checked (ÖNORM H 5195) by a heating expert
(installer) (see BioWIN XL installation instructions – heating water); this is to prevent corrosion and sediment
accumulation in the heating system and boiler/heater. For systems using more than 1,500 liters (396 gallons) of
water (e.g., systems with accumulator tanks), this inspection is required on an annual basis.
In the event of repair work requiring a change of water in the heating system, the heating water is to be checked
within 4 to 6 weeks after the repair work.
Corrosion and sediment resulting from improper heating water are not covered by the guarantee and warranty.
