6.8.3  Connecting up the electric immersion heater

The Vaillant auroSTOR VIH S GB 210/2 S, 
VIH S GB 260/2 S, and VIH S GB 310/2 S solar cylinders 
are fitted with an electric immersion heater at the fac-
tory.

 Danger!

Risk of death from electric shock!

Without potential equalisation, life-threat-
ening voltage can reach the piping and 
water draw-off points.

 

>

Earth the electric immersion heater.

 

>

Remove the front cladding of the casing (

5

 

¬ fig. 6.11

from the cylinder.

 

>

Dismantle the casing to facilitate work on the compo-
nents.

 

>

Dismantle the electric immersion heater cover. 

 

>

Install a separate electrical power supply for the electric 
immersion heater in accordance with current IEE regula-
tions (BS 7671).

 

– Use heat-resistant cables (H05BN4-F 1.5 mm

2

, 3-wire 

HOFR-coated) for the cabling of the electric immer-
sion heater.

 

– Use the cable grip (

2

) to firmly secure the supply 

cable of the immersion heater.

 

– Connect the electric immersion heater to the power 

mains via a double pole isolating switch with a contact 
separation of at least 3 mm in both poles.

 

– Protect the circuit using a 16 A fuse.

a

 Caution!

Corrosion and short circuits may occur 
due to incorrect earthing.

If you insert a electric immersion heater 
into the cylinder, the external voltage may 
build up electrical potential in the water 
which may result in the electrochemical 
corrosion of the electric immersion heater.

 

>

Ensure that both the hot water and cold 
water pipes are connected to the earth 
line by means of an earth cable directly 
on the cylinder.

 

>

You must also make sure that the elec-
tric immersion heater is connected to the 
earth line via the earthing terminal.

 

>

Mount the cover for the electric immersion heater. 

i

  Only switch the immersion heater on once 

the cylinder is completely full.

With the isolating switch, the electric immersion heater 
can be switched on if the primary heating device has 
malfunctioned.
