7.3 Execution
Damage due to improper installation
Additional device stresses may arise due to the connection of pipes or
system equipment.
• Ensure that pipes are connected from the device to the system without
them being stressed or strained.
• If necessary, provide support structures for the pipes or equipment.
For installation, proceed as follows:
• Position the device.
• Complete the primary tank and the optional secondary tanks.
• Create the water-side connections of the control unit to the system.
• Create the interfaces according to the terminal plan.
• Install the water connections between optional secondary tanks to each
other and to the primary tank.
Notice!
For installation, note the operability of the valves and the inlet options of
the connecting lines.
Determine the positions for the control unit, primary vessels and secondary
vessels (if used).
• Variomat 2-1:
– The control unit can be installed on either side or in front of the
primary vessel. The distance of the control unit to the primary vessel
results from the connection set supplied.
• Variomat 2-2:
– The control unit can be installed on either side or in front of the
primary vessel. The distance of the control unit to the primary vessel
results from the connection set supplied.
7.3.2 Installation of add-on components for the tanks
The add-on components are packed in plastic bags and attached to the base of
the vessels.
• Pressure compensation elbow (1).
• Reflex Exvoid with pre-fitted check valve (2)
• "LIS" pressure pick-up
For add-on components, proceed as follows:
1. Install the Reflex Exvoid (2) at the connection of the corresponding vessel.
2. Remove the protective cap from the degassing valve.
3. Use the compression fitting to install the pressure compensation elbow (1)
for ventilation at the vessels.
Note!
Install the "LIS" pressure pick-up only after finalising the installation of
the primary vessel, see chapter 7.3.3 "Tank installation" on page 10 .
Note!
To ensure fault-free operation, do not seal off the aeration and
ventilation.
