4.13 System water
Water which is non-flammable, does not contain solids or long-fibre components and does not present a danger
to operations due to its contents, and will not aect or damage the water bearing components (e.g.: pressurised
components, the diaphragm, vessel connection) of the expansion automat. Also observe: VDI 2035 - avoidance of
damage to warm water heating equipment.
System water containing components are pipelines, hoses connected to the vessel, devices and system
connections including valves and fittings, and their casings, sensors, pumps, the vessel itself and the vessel
diaphragm. Operation with improper media can lead to impaired function, damage to components and, as a
consequence, to serious personal injury and damage.
4.14 Safeguards
The equipment supplied is equipped with the required safety devices. To test their eectiveness or restore the
set-up conditions, the equipment must first be taken out of service. Taking the system out of service implies that
power should be cut and hydraulic connections blocked, to prevent accidental or unintentional re-connection.
Mechanical hazards:
The fan cover on the pump protects users from personal injury caused by moving parts. Before switching the unit
on, make sure that the cover is suitable for this purpose and properly secured.
Electrical hazards:
The protection class of electrically operated components prevents personal injury by electrocution, which can be
fatal. The protection class is usually IP44. The control unit cover, the cover of the pump feed, the threaded cable
glands and the valve connector plugs must be inspected for eectiveness prior to commissioning. The installed
pressure and volume sensors are operated with protective extra-low voltage.
Avoid welding work on additional equipment which is electrically connected to the control unit. Stray welding
current or an improper earth connection could lead to the danger of fire and damage to parts of the unit (e.g. the
control unit).
4.15 External forces
Avoid any additional forces (e.g.: forces caused by heat expansion, flow oscillations or dead weights on the flow
and return lines). These can lead to damage / leaks in water-bearing pipework, loss of stability of the appliance
and furthermore to failure connected with substantial material damage and personal injury.
