Hot Water Storage Tank with One Coil
BA-ST 9022/9100 - 1FE
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING MANUAL
• The isolated protec ve anode earth conductor must be con-
nected to the steel components of the storage tank (top bot-
tom of the tank). Otherwise, the tank will not be protected
against corrosion.
• In order to eliminate any odour of hydrogen sulphide (caused
by bacteria in the oxygen de cient water), we recommend
observing the periodic cleaning of the tank and replacement
of the anode and, in addi on periodically increase the hot wa-
ter temperature in tank to prevent bacterial growth.
• In the systems with the electric hea ng unit, ensure that the
electrical installa on is properly protected by protec ve cir-
cuit.
• Limit the setpoints of the hea ng medium temperature con-
trollers in the storage tank supply lines to 80 °C in order to
avoid triggering of the thermal cut-o in the electric hea ng
module.
• In order to reduce the possibility of scalding by the water, we
recommended to set the water hea ng temperature in the
storage tank (of both the hea ng unit and the coil) so, that it
does not exceed 60 °C. This will also help to extend the life of
the storage tank.
• Report any malfunc ons in the storage tank opera on to the
authorized service centres. You can nd the complete list of
our authorized service centres at our website.
It is forbidden to:
• ac vate the hea ng medium circuit or electric hea ng
unit if the tank is not lled with water
• use the storage tank, if you nd any malfunc on of the
safety valve
• install any device (such as cut-o and/or check valves,
etc.) between the storage tank and the safety valve (ex-
cept T-pipes)
• make any unauthorized repairs
• stop water leaks from the safety valve
• when hea ng with only the electric unit, the coil circuits
may not be isolated
5. MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspec ons and maintenance are the condi ons of
con nuous opera onal readiness, reliability and a long servi-
ce life of the product.
Maintenance ac vi es include the following:
• rou ne inspec ons and replacement of the protec ve
magnesium anode
• cleaning of the storage tank
5.1 Inspec on of the Protec ve Magnesium Anode
Storage tanks with one coil of BA-ST Series are, in order to
protect them against corrosion, coated inside with ceramic
enamel and in addi on, protected with isolated protec ve
magnesium anode. The anode corrodes rst under normal
opera on, thus protec ng the storage tank jacket. Therefore,
you have to inspect its condi on from me to me. Corrosion
rate of the protec ve anode is di erent and depends upon
the quality of water in the area. We recommend checking the
protec ve anode condi on once a year in order to ensure
op mum corrosion protec on.
The use of the isolated anode allows you to monitor the
degree of wear of the anode by measuring the intensity
of the protec ng direct current without having to remo-
ve it and empty the tank (interrup ng opera on of the
storage tank). This solu on simplifi es opera on and ad-
di onally contributes to the reliability and long life me.

5.2 Measurement of the Protec ve Magnesium Anode Wear
In order to check the degree of wear of the anode, do the
following (see Fig. 11):
1. Remove the housing cover together with thermal insula on.
2. Disconnect the connec ng conductor (protec ve) from
the storage tank top head.
3. Connect an electric meter (range in mA) between the
protec ve conductor and the M5 threaded pin and me-
asure the intensity of the protec ve direct current.
Intensity of the protec ve direct current should not be lower
than 0.3 mA at full storage tank. If it is too low, remove the
anode and check its wear visually. If the anode is signi cantly
corroded (above 50 % loss), replace it immediately. Connect
the anode protec ve conductor to the tank a er the measu-
rement.
If the current intensity measurements do not indicate
any wear of the anode, its max opera ng me is not
longer than 18 months. The anode should be replaced
a er this me.

Check the safety valve performance as speci ed by the
valve manufacturer periodically (min. every 14 days) or
before each start-up of the heater a er decommissio-
ning.
CAUTION
Systema c admission of fresh, untreated water to the
hea ng circuit (coil) increases the risk of corrosion inside
the coil.
