5.1 Mounting conditions
5.1.1 Requirements for the mounting area of the manifold
The mounting area must meet the following conditions:
1. Proper access to the system components
2. Room around the manifold to carry out work
3. The mounting area is frost-free
4. Themountingareaisprovidedwithawaterllingpoint
5. The mounting area is provided with a lighting point
6. The mounting area is provided with an earthed wall socket.
7. The mounting area is provided with a water outlet
Location of the manifold
• Place the manifold in a dry, well-vented, centrally located area in the house.
• PLEASE NOTE: The manifold should not be placed in the fuse box.
• If the manifold is equipped with a pump, it should not be placed in or against the
wall of a bedroom or living room. When the pump is operational, it might cause a
small vibration noise. A good location for the control unit could be the hall, pantry
or garage.
• Do not place the manifold onto a partition of a light construction.
• Place the manifold in an easily accessible place because of possible maintenance
work.
The location of the manifold must be:
• Dry and Dust- and frost-free
• Free from vibrations
• Adequately lit
• Free from combustible materials
• Free from explosive gases.
