2.3 The correct fill and make-up water
Note the fundamental system-specific water quality
requirements.
Water designation
Water is used as the heat transfer medium in your heating
system. Depending on its purpose, the water is given
different descriptions.
•Heatingwater:
Water contained within your heating system.
• Fill water:
Water used for the first filling of your system before
commissioning.
• Make-up water:
Water used for topping up the heating system in case
of water loss.
Water quality requirements
All water contains substances, e.g. Ca (HCO3)2 (calcium
hydrogen carbonate) that could affect the operation of
your heating system. These can cause corrosion, scale
formation or deposits.
To ensure your heating system always operates
economically, properly and safely, not to mention in an
energy-efficient manner, we recommend that you regularly
monitor the quality of the fill and make-up water and treat
it accordingly as and when necessary.
For the correct use and treatment of the fill and make-up
water, the contents of the following table MUST be
observed.
NOTICE: System damage from corrosion or
scale formation as the result of using fill and
make-up water that does not conform to the
system-specific requirements.
BAsk your trained and certified installer or
local water company what the
concentration of Ca (HCO3)2(calcium
hydrogencarbonate) is in your area.
BIf the fill and make-up water does not meet
system-specific requirements, it will have
to be treated. Consult your trained and
certified installer if this is the case.

3 System start-up
This chapter explains how you prepare the system for
operation and how to commission the control panel and
the burner.
3.1 Making the system operational
You should check the following to prepare the system for
operation:
BOperating water pressure of the system
(ÆChapter 3.2)
BFuel is supplied and the main fuel shut-off valve is open
BHeating system emergency shutoff switch set to ON
Ask your heating contractor to show you where the fill
valve for your heating system (boiler return) is located.
3.2 Check and correct the operating
pressure
Your heating system must contain sufficient water to
ensure the functionality of your system.
If the operating pressure in the system is too low, fill make-
up water into your system (ÆChapter 2.3, page 6).
• Recently added fill or make-up water loses much of its
volume in the first few days because it releases gases.
With newly filled heating systems, initially check the
operating pressure daily and then in ever increasing
intervals.
• Once the system is losing minimal volume, check the
operating pressure of the heating water once a month.
All factory default settings will have already been made by
the heating contractor when the system was first
commissioned.
3.2.1 Checking the operating water pressure
The operating pressure must be at least 15 psi (1 bar).
BRead the current operating pressure and temperature
( °C ( °F)) on the temperature/pressure gauge.
BIf the operating pressure drops below 15 psi (1 bar), fill
up the heating water.
Fig. 3 Pressure/temperature gauge
3.2.2 Filling with heating water and bleeding the
system
BSlowly fill the heating system via the on-site fill valve.
During filling, observe the display (pressure gauge).
BOnce the desired operating pressure is reached, stop
the procedure.
BBleed the heating system via the purge valves.
BAdd fill water again if the operating pressure drops as
a result of bleeding the system.
NOTICE: Risk of system damage due to
frequent refilling.
BIf you need to add water frequently, the
heating system may be damaged by
corrosion and scale buildup depending on
the water quality.
BBleed the heating system. If necessary, fill
with make-up water.
BCheck the heating system for leaks and
the correct operation of the expansion
vessel.
BNotify your heating contractor if you find
the need to refill your heating system
frequently.
Air pockets may form in the heating system
from the fill or make-up water releasing
gases.
Let your local heating contractor show you
where the boiler fill and drain valve for filling
and draining the heating water is located on
your heating system.
