Technical data
This water heater can provide hot water from the
mains water supply or other pressure-operated water
supply for several consumers. The water used for
heating must comply with the requirements in the
normative documents for service water, in particular:
Chloride content up to 250 mg/l; electrical
conductivity more than 100 µS/cm, pH value 6,5-8 for
enamelled hot water tanks. The thermal insulation
consists of CFC-free polyurethane foam.
The maximum electrical power with PV-energy of the
water heater is 550 W. The actual power consumption
of the heating element depends on the connected
photovoltaic power as well as on the radiation
strength provided by the sun. The water is heated to a
maximum of 65 °C to ensure scalding protection.
Detailed information can be found in the data sheet or
on the nameplate.
The water heater is equipped with a combined check
and pressure relief valve (Table 1, No. 5) to prevent
overpressure during appliance operation. The water
tank is made of steel with a high-strength enamel
coating and additional cathode protection provided
by a magnesium anode.
Assembly
Always install the water heater lying down, in a dry
environment. The device is intended for fixed floor
assembly. Make sure that the assembly surface is
sufficiently stable to withstand forces that act on the
boiler or its mounting system when driving.

the
basic
When choosing a suitable substrate for the hot water
storage tank, the following must be taken into
account:
• Type and material
• Dimensions of the device,
• Type of fastening
• Location of fasteners for floor mounting
• Arrangement of water and electricity lines
• Degree of protection against water splashes
The installation site must comply with the
requirements of the water and electrical installation.
Sufficient space for the water connections must be
provided during installation.
The boiler is bolted to the floor using the attached
mounting rails. Four screws are used for this. The
type, length and diameter of the screws must be
selected according to the nature of the floor. Only
with the right screws it is possible to safely install the
boiler.
Connection to the water
supply
When connecting the device to the water supply,
please observe the indicated arrows and rings around
the cold and hot water pipes (supply and return
pipes). The cold-water pipe features a blue ring and is
marked with an arrow pointing towards the pipe. The
hot water pipe is indicated by an arrow pointing out of
the pipe and a red ring.
The water heater is equipped with a combined check
and pressure relief valve, which is included in the
product packaging and

water pipe. The arrow on the body of the valve, which
indicates the direction of water flow through the
valve, must be followed during this installation.
WARNING!
The absence or improper installation of
the combined valve supplied with the product is
grounds for voiding the product warranty.
