Operating instructions for uniSTOR 0020111106_01

Description of the unit

The Vaillant uniSTOR domestic hot water cylinder is 
available in six sizes: 120, 155, 180, 210, 260 or 310 litres 
and meets the requirements of EN 12897:2006. The cyl-
inder is made from stainless steel and is insulated with 
EPS with heat radiation absorbers. 
The unvented domestic hot water cylinder works with 
the pressure of the water supply line and does not need 
a cold water tank for its supply. To enable the cylinder 
to work as well as possible, a cold water supply with an 
appropriate pressure and flow rate is required.

3.1.1 Safety 

devices

The cylinder is delivered with all safety and control 
devices for the operation of the unvented domestic 
hot water supply system:

 

– Temperature/pressure relief valve (90 ºC, 7 bar)

 

– Pressure reducing valve (3.5 bar) with line strainer

 

– Expansion relief valve (one-way valve, 6.0 bar) 

 

– Thermal cut-out for electric immersion heater

 

– Primary heating circuit thermal cut-out.

3.1.2 

Hot water temperature regulation

If you are using a Vaillant dual-channel eBUS controller, 
you can use this controller to adjust the hot water tem-
perature and the reheating times.
Other controllers may be used depending on your heat-
ing system, such as a 230 V timer in conjunction with 
the 230 V cylinder thermostat that is fitted.
Observe the operating instructions for the installed con-
troller or timer.

Electric immersion heater

The cylinder is equipped with an additional electric 
immersion heater with a heating output of 3 kW. 
The electric immersion heater is designed for use in 
unvented cylinders and has a thermostat with a temper-
ature controller and a thermal cut-out (TCO) with a reset 
button.
