When the illuminating indicator, besides it is lit in a
blinking GREEN color, this means that the ANODE
PROTECTOR functions in a normal, usual mode and
protects your appliance from corrosion. When the
illuminating indicator is lit with a blinking RED color,
this means that the ANODE PROTECTOR is worn out and
should be replaced.
The changing of the anode protector is done by a
qualified technician.
The anode tester is able to read correctly the state of the
anode protector only when the temperature of the water
in the tank is higher 60°C. For this reason, before pushing button
4 (TEST), make sure that the water in the tank is heated enough
and that no quantity has been drained out of it with cold water
having been poured into it before that. The thermostat should
be set to the maximum temperature.
3.
Protection according to the temperature (valid for
all models)
The appliance is equipped with a special facility (thermal
circuit-breaker) for protection against over-heating of the
water, which is switching off the heater from the electricity
network, when the temperature reaches too high values.
When this device operates, it does not self-reset and the
appliance will not work. Please call an authorized service
for solving the problem.
VIII.
MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A HEAT EXCHANGER
(SERPENTINE TUBE) - FIG.1B, FIG.1C, FIG.1D AND
TABLES 1, 2 AND 3
These are appliances with inbuilt heat exchanger and are
intended to be connected to the heating system with
maximum temperature of the heat carrier of 80°C. The
control over the flow through the heat exchanger is a
matter of solution for the particular installation, whereby
the choice should be made at its design (e.g. external
thermostat that measures the temperature in the water
tank and operates a circulation pump or a magnet valve).
Water heaters with a heat exchanger provide the
opportunity for the water to be heated in two ways:
1.
by means of a heat exchanger (coil) – a primary way of
heating the water,
2.
by means of an auxiliary electrical heating element
with automatic operation, built in the appliance – it is used
only when additional heating of the water is needed or in
case of repairs to the system of the heat exchanger (coil).
The proper way of connecting the appliance to the electric
network and how to work with it has been specified in the
previous paragraphs.
Mounting
In addition to the mounting manner outlined above,
especially for the latter models, it shall be required to
connect the heat exchanger to the heating installation.
The connections are to be carried out in observance
of the direction indicated by the arrows on Fig. 1b, 1c,
1d. We recommend you mount stopcocks at the heat
exchanger’s entry and exit points. By stopping the flow of
the thermophore via the lower (stopcock) you shall avoid
the unnecessary circulation of the thermophore during
periods of use only of the electric heating element.
Upon disassembly of you water heater equipped with a
heat exchanger you must close both stopcocks.
The usage of dielectric bushings for connecting the heat
exchanger to an installation of copper pipes is obligatory.
For ensuring minimal corrosion, pipes with a limited
diffusion of gasses must be used in the installation.
Models with a single heat exchanger and a thermal
sensor pocket
Appliance installation is responsibility of the customer
hence a qualified installation technician has to perform it
in accordance with the main user guide and the present appendix
thereto.

For models with a possibility for installation of the thermal
sensor pocket, delivered along with the appliance, it has to
be installed where the „TS“ lead-in is. The thread needs to
be tightened.
Models with two heat exchangers and a thermal sensor
pocket
These models allow for connection to two external heat
sources – a solar panel and local or central water heating
supply.
Serpentine markings:
•
S1 and an arrow pointing at the serpentine lead-in –
inlet of serpentine S1
•
S1 and an arrow pointing outwards from the serpentine
lead-in – outlet of serpentine S1
•
S2 and an arrow pointing at the serpentine lead – inlet
of serpentine S2
