Maintenance
Safety valve (not supplied)
The water heater's safety valve sometimes releases a
little water after hot water usage. This is because the
cold water, which enters the water heater, expands when
heated causing the pressure to rise and the safety valve
to open.
The function of the safety valves must be regularly
checked, about four times a year, to prevent clogging.
To inspect the valve, open the safety valve manually and
check that water flows through the overflow pipe. If this
does not happen then the safety valve is defective and
must be replaced.
Emptying

Draining is performed through the siphon (using hose)
in the cold water connection (XL3).
Charge coil
Draining is performed through the siphon (using hose)
in the docking connection, return to heat pump (XL9).

General
VPB/VPBS is a series water heater, which is suitable for
connection to an external heat source.
The water tank has internal copper, stainless steel or
enamel corrosion protection. The water heater is
equipped with a charge coil that heats the domestic
water, resulting in excellent properties for hot water
charging.
VPBS 300 can be docked to thermal solar panels.
The water heater is designed and manufactured for a
maximum cut-off pressure of 10 bar in the water heater
and 3 bar on the primary side. Maximum permitted
temperature is 85 °C.
VPBS 300 is equipped with a copper finned tube for
connection of up to 6 m² of thermal solar panels.
The insulation is Neopor, which provides excellent heat
insulation. The outer shell of VPB/VPBS is powder-coated,
white steel.
VPB/VPBS is equipped with a submerged tube for the
sensors for external control and display of hot water
heating.
VPBS 300 can be supplemented with a third sensor for
solar control.
Transport
VPB/VPBS should be transported and stored vertically in
a dry place. The VPB/VPBS may, however, be carefully
laid on its back when being moved into a building.

Assembly
The water heater is only designed for upright installation.
The water heater’s installation area should always have
a temperature of at least 10 °C (frost-free).
Position VPB/VPBS on a firm base that can take the
weight, preferably on a concrete floor or foundation.
Use the product's adjustable feet to obtain a horizontal
and stable set-up.
