Commissioning
8.1
Checking the requirements for commissioning
The device will be ready for commissioning when the tasks described in the
"Installation" chapter have been completed. The system designer or an assigned
expert is responsible for carrying out the commissioning. Commission the
storage tank according to the information in the corresponding installation
manual. Note the following information on commissioning:
•
The control unit is connected to the primary tank and the secondary tanks,
if provided.
•
The water connections of the tanks to the facility system are established.
•
The tanks are not filled with water.
•
The valves for emptying the tanks are open.
•
The facility system is filled with water and gas-vented.
•
The electrical connection has been created according to applicable
national and local regulations.

Variomat switching points
The "P
" minimum operating pressure is determined by the location of the

The start routine is used to set the parameters for device commissioning. It
commences with the first switching on of the controller and can only be set
once. The following parameter changes or checks are carried out from the
customer menu, 10.3.1 "Customer menu", 43.
A three-digit PM code is assigned to the setting options.
