Notes on fire protection
The device generates heat by burning fuel oil. Due
to the ignition source (burner) and the high tem-
peratures, increased precautions must be taken to
reduce the risk of fire.
– Keep the air inlet and protective grille free of
obstructions and dirt. A reduced air flow can
lead to overheating of the components or the
device. Do not use near curtains or other ob-
jects that can block the air inlet opening.
– Do not use near open fires or heat sources.
– Do not use or store in areas where combus-
tible vapours of gasoline, solvents or thinners
are present.
– Connect only suitable tanks approved for the
intended use.
– Mobile fuel containers may only be installed
and operated in accordance with the technical
rules for the storage of liquid and solid haz-
ardous substances in stationary containers
and filling and emptying points for mobile con-
tainers (TRGS 509).
– Do not install and operate the device in an at-
mosphere containing oil, sulphur or salt.

Requirements for heating oil
supply
The supply of the device with heating oil is the
responsibility of the operating company. The fol-
lowing general requirements apply to the supply
and handling of fuel oil:
– Oil pipes or oil storage tanks must be installed
and protected against frost. If necessary, they
must be insulated or, if permissible, heated in
order to protect the heating oil against frost.
– The heating oil in the oil pipes must not ex-
ceed a maximum temperature of 40 °C.
– The components used must be designed in
accordance with the maximum permissible oil
pressure and temperature limits.
50 / 85
– For different requirements for oil combustion
systems, the specific local legislation and reg-
ulations must be taken into account.
– In flooded areas, oil combustion systems may
only be used, installed or operated in such a
way that they cannot float up or otherwise be
damaged by flooding and that no heating oil
can escape from the oil combustion systems.
– The possibility of damage by flotsam must be
excluded.
– The oil tank must have the appropriate instal-
lation approval.
NOTICE
Reliable, above-ground oil pipes and tank
installations
The safe design of above-ground oil pipes de-
pends on the installation site and the ambient
conditions there. The design of the device cannot
influence the hazards arising from the environ-
ment. Additional technical or organisational
measures such as the installation of oil pans,
lifting valves or warning devices can ensure the
operational safety of above-ground oil pipes.
Requirements for oil pipes
– According to the amended Muster-VAwS §
12, above-ground oil pipes must meet one of
the following requirements:
– According to Muster-VAwS Annex to § 4 Para.
1 Section 2.3 or
– Technical or organisational measures to en-
sure equivalent safety, or
– Implementing a risk assessment
– Ultimately, an additional protective measure
should be decided on a case-by-case basis,
depending on the installation site and ambient
conditions, since the technical rules on which
the design of the device is based do not take
