6.1 Installation conditions
Note!
Following receipt of the goods, please check the delivery for completeness and damage. Document any damage
sustained during transportation. and contact the forwarding agent to register a complaint accordingly.
6.1.1 Installation location
Install the storage tank in a frost-proof room. If the storage tank is wall-mounted, ensure that the wall has sufficient load-bearing
capacity. If the storage tank is installed below the roof, it is recommended to use a water-collecting pan. If the storage tank is installed in
a cabinet, ensure a sufficiently dimensioned opening for ventilation.
6.1.2 Installation
Self-circulation is to be avoided. In all storage tank circuits, the pipes should be laid out so that self-circulation cannot occur. To this end,
it is recommended to install a non-return valve or check valve with return-flow preventer at all storage tank circuits.
6.1.3 Connection on "heating water" side
Connect the heating coil in counterflow mode. Do not swap supply- and return-flow connection elements. Ensure that the charging line is
as short as possible and well insulated. Provide the charging line with a drain valve.

6.4 Electrical connection
Danger –electric shock!
•Risk of serious injury or death due to electric shock.
–Ensure that the system is voltage-free before installing the device.
–Ensure that the system is secured and cannot be reactivated by other persons.
–Ensure that installation work for the electric connection of the device is carried out by an electrician, and in
compliance with electrical engineering regulations.
Danger –electric shock!
•Risk of serious injury or death due to electric shock. Some parts of the main board may still carry 230V voltage even
with the device physically isolated from the 230 V power supply.
–Before you remove the covers, completely isolate the device controller from the power supply.
The following descriptions apply to standard systems and are limited to the necessary user-provided connections. Shut down the system
and secure it against unintentional reactivation. When all connections have been made according to the terminal diagram, install the
cover and connect the the mains cable with the appropriate power supply (400 V, 3000W heating power or 230 V, 1000W heating
power).

Commissioning
Storatherm Aqua Compact —20.01.2015 Rev.1
English —17
7Commissioning
7.1 Checking the requirements for commissioning
The device will be ready for commissioning when the tasks described in the "Installation" chapter have been completed. The system
designer or an assigned expert is responsible for carrying out the commissioning. Commission the storage tank according to the
information in the corresponding installation manual. Note the following information on commissioning:
7.2 Information from system designer
Attention! –Equipment damage
Device damage due to a closed safety valve.
•Do not close the safety valve.
The responsible installer shall explain to the operator how the hot-water storage tank functions and how it is to be used. He/She shall
draw attention to maintenance work that has to be carried out at regular intervals (which has a bearing on service life and operational
reliability). If at risk from frost, or prior to being shut down, the storage tank is to be emptied. During the heating phase, water escapes at
the safety valve - this is perfectly normal.
7.2.1 Filling the storage tank
Prior to the storage tank being filled for the first time, rinse out the piping and connect the storage tank. With the hot water tap open, the
storage tank is to be filled until water starts to escape. The threaded connection fittings are to be checked for tightness, and re-tightened
as necessary.
7.3 Shut-down
The storage tank is to be shut down according to the information in the operating manual for the heating device. If at risk of damage from
frost, or prior to being shut down, the storage tank is to be emptied.

Caution –risk of burning!
•Risk of burning due to escaping medium.
–Maintain a sufficient distance from the escaping medium.
–Wear suitable personal protective equipment (safety gloves and goggles).
Danger –electric shock!
•Risk of serious injury or death due to electric shock.
–Ensure that the system is voltage-free before installing the device.
–Ensure that the system is secured and cannot be reactivated by other persons.
–Ensure that installation work for the electric connection of the device is carried out by an electrician, and in
compliance with electrical engineering regulations.
9.1 Protective anode
The protective magnesium anode provides a minimum degree of protection in case of cracks in the enamel coating, in accordance with
DIN 4753. A first inspection should be made after two years of operation at the latest.
The drinking water must have a minimum conductivity of 100 μS/cm; otherwise, anode-based protection cannot be guaranteed.
If the anode has worn down by more than 2/3, it must be replaced immediately. The storage tank must be de-pressurised while doing
this. Pay attention to the existing electrical connections when making the replacement.
9.2 Draining
Prior to cleaning or repairing the storage tank, disconnect it from the water network and drain it. If necessary, drain the heating register
too.
9.3 Cleaning & decalcification
The degree of calcification of a hot-water storage tank depends on the usage duration, the operating temperature and the water
hardness.
9.4 Restarting
Thoroughly rinse out the storage tank following cleaning or repair work. Vent the individual water circuits.
9.5 Disassembly
Prior to dismantling, block off all "water"-side connections to the device. De-pressurise the device by venting it. Then disconnect the
device from all electrical power sources.
•Disconnect the system from all electrical power sources and secure it against inadvertent reactivation.
•Drain all water from the device.
–The device must be de-pressurised and empty.
•Detach the power cable of the device from the power supply point.
•Disconnect all cables from the terminals of the device control unit and remove them.
