6. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
This unit should be started-up by Authorized Engineers (TAC) according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. The end-user is not authorized to perform start-up and adjustment operations.
If during the first start-up (in site) a DANGEROUS or ANOMALOUS situation is met due to non-conform
system, the start-up operations won’t be completed. The user/installer must perform the proper adjustments
indicated by authorized engineers (TAC), who will carry out the start-up.
The positive result of the first start-up (in site) is only reflecting the good operation of the unit and DDC (if
used), but doesn’t involve any responsibility concerning the correct execution of the system.
The length of the warranty is dependent upon the installation and START-UP of the unit by
Authorized Technicians (TAC). See warranty card for complete details.
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR THE UNIT AND/OR PERSONS

ANOMALOUS INSTALLATION CONDITIONS FOR THE UNIT AND/OR PERSONS
The authorized Robur service (TAC) can carry out the 1st start-up, but
the unit will be kept switched off
until the user/installer fully follows the manufacturer’s directions/instructions. Anomalous installation
conditions:

6.1 FILLING
THE
WATER PIPING
To ensure correct operation of the unit and to avoid the water freezing, add 10% by volume of
inhibited mono-ethylene glycol (antifreeze) to the circulation water. Add more mono-ethylene
glycol as needed for the minimum external temperature of the installation zone (see Table 18,
page 53).
The method described below is
only one of several ways
that can be used to fill the hydronic circuit. A
container to mix water and mono-ethylene glycol and a water pump to drive the mixture into the hydronic
system is required; 2 valves are placed on the circuit as shown in Figure 30.
