If additional parts are installed on the fireplace which are not approved for this appliance by Ul-
rich Brunner GmbH (for example, an external control unit), it is a customized product that meets
customer requirements. The resulting fireplace insert is not type-tested; the declaration of perfor-
mance of this fireplace insert will be no longer valid.
The CE mark must be removed from the heating insert!
The responsibility for installation (according to TROL) and operation lies exclusively with the
specialist craftsman!
When third-party fireplace cladding materials are used, follow the technical data of the manufacturer of these
materials.
The user must be informed by the stove builder about the function and operation of the stove system and the
installed safety equipment. Hand over the corresponding instructions.
We recommend to perform a Product registration. (www.produktregistrierung.brunner.de)
2 EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING AND LIGHTNING
PROTECTION
ATTENTION - lightning protection, earthing, equipotential bonding.
When connecting fireplaces with / without power connection to metallic exhaust systems (stainless steel ex-
haust systems, metal chimneys, refurbished chimneys, ...), the national regulations and existing association
guidelines must be observed. The requirements and the design of lightning protection systems, surge protec-
tion as well as earthing and equipotential bonding for exhaust systems are regulated.
Equipotential bonding and surge protection ("internal lightning protection") have been mandatory in new
buildings since 2016. Equipotential bonding is therefore required by law for metallic exhaust systems. Metal-
lic chimneys must always be integrated into the building's earthing system. If there is also a lightning protec-
tion system ("external lightning protection"), the exhaust system must be integrated into the lightning protec-
tion system.
The measures provided in individual cases must be carried out by qualified electricians and / or lightning pro-
tection specialists.
Overvoltage protection measures for electrical and information technology systems are not dealt with in the
standards mentioned and must be created individually on site via the fine protection / terminal device protec-
tion.
The legally provided equipotential bonding is not covered by the connection of the fireplace with /
without a power connection to the protective conductor!
In case of damage to current-carrying components caused by non-professional measures for light-
ning protection, earthing and equipotential bonding, there is no entitlement to guarantee and war-
ranty.
