3.1 Important remarks
BAppliance should only be installed in sealed central
heatin and hot water systems.
BTo avoid as formation in the system, alvanised
radiators or pipes must not be used.
BIf a room thermostat is used: do not fit a thermostatic
radiator valve on the radiator in the primary room.
BThis appliance uses an automatically variable pump.
An auto-bypass must not be fitted.
BAdd a suitable anti-freeze fluid to the water in the
central heatin system.

BIn our experience, the addition of sealin a ents to
the water in the central heatin system can cause
problems (deposits in the heat exchan er). For that
reason we advise a ainst their use.
3.2 Domestic hot water
Any re ulations specified by the local water company
must be observed.
The final 600 mm of the mains cold water connection to
the applaince should be made in copper tube only.
The appliance is suitable for a mains supply havin a
maximum pressure of 10 bar. A pressure reducin valve
must be fitted, if necessary.
The hot water outlet temperature is set to be capable of
achievin a maximum of 60˚C. The maximum tempera-
ture and the frequency of the rechar e of the heat store
may be reset.
The water flow rate of 11.0 l/min (ZWBR 8-30) and
13.5 l/min (ZWBR 11-37) will ive a temperature rise
of 40˚C. If a hi her rise is required then the flow must
be reduced at the tap and the dischar e temperature
will rise up to the maximum set fi ure.
The temperature rise, upto the maximum set by the user,
is automatically maintained by the modulation of the
heat input. In winter, when the mains temperature is
very low, the water flow, adjusted at the tap or shower,
should be reduced to maintain the required delivery
temperature.
It is su ested that lon pipe runs to taps or showers
be insulated to prevent the rapid coolin of the water.
All types of sin le lever mixer taps and thermostatic
mixer units suitable for a mains pressure of up to 10 bar
can be used.
The head of a loose-head shower must not be allowed
to fall within 25 mm of the top the bath to prevent the
risk of water bein drawn back into the mains. Alterna-
tively the shower must be fitted with an anti-syphona e
device at the point of the flexible hose connections.
Over-rim bidets may be connected to the appliance
provided that it is in accordance with the requirements
of the local water company. The outlet(s) should be
shrouded and unable to have any temporary hand held
spray attached. No anti-syphona e arran ements are
necessary.
In exceptionally hard water areas a device to prevent
scale formation may be fitted or, alternatively, the maxi-
mum temperature reset to about 45˚C which may
reduce the risk of scale formation. The installation of a
scale inhibitor assembly should be in accordance with
the requirements of the local water company. Artificially
softened water must not be used to fill the central heat-
in system. An isolatin valve should be fitted to allow
for servicin .
Devices, such as water meters or back-flow pre-
vention valves, capable of preventing the flow of
expansion water must not be fitted unless sepa-
rate arrangements have been made.
A Zilmet Z160 expansion vessel is the preferred type. A
thread sealant compatible with potable water must be
used. The vessel should be connected into the cold
water mains inlet pipe as close as possible to the appli-
ance.
3.3 Sealed systems
The appliance must not be operated without the system
bein full of water, properly vented and pressurised.
The expansion vessel has a volume of 10 litres and is
char ed to a pressure of 0.75 bar.
The water capacity of the system is shown in table 11,
pa e 31. If a reater capacity is required then an addi-
tional expansion vessel must be fitted into the system
return as close to the appliance as possible. The system
pressure can be set up to a maximum of 1.5 bar with
1 bar bein the normal settin .
If the system pressure is reater than 2.5 bar when the
appliance is operatin at maximum temperature then an
additional expansion vessel must be fitted into the sys-
tem return as close to the appliance as possible.
The fillin point must be at low level and arran ed as
shown in fi s. 5 and 6.
The pressure relief valve is set to operate at 3 bar.
There must be no connection to the mains without the
approval of the local water company. All connections in
the system must be capable of withstandin a pressure
BAlways t rn off the gas cock before car-
rying o t any work on components
which carry gas.
iFixing of the appliance, gas and fl e con-
nections, commissioning of the system
and electrical connections may only be
carried o t by competent persons a thor-
