1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
9 Check that the product is complete, undamaged and as or-
dered as soon as you receive it. Report any discrepancies or
damage to the Rdealer who sold it.
9 This product must be installed by a legally qualied heat-
ing engineer. On completion of the installation, the install-
er must issue the owner with a declaration of conformity
conrming that the installation has been completed to the
highest standards in compliance with the instructions pro-
vided by Rin this instruction manual, and that it con-
forms to all applicable laws and standards.
9 This product must only be used for the purpose for which it
is designed and made, as specied by R. Rdeclines
all responsibility, contractual or other, for damage to prop-
erty or injury to persons or animals caused by improper in-
stallation, adjustment, maintenance or use.
9 The product must be serviced at least once a year. Servicing
must be arranged in advance with the RTechnical Assis-
tance Service.
9 All servicing and repairs must be performed by a qualied
heating engineer.
9 If water leaks from the storage cylinder, turn off the water
supply and contact R’s Technical Assistance Service or a
qualied heating engineer immediately.
9 If the product is not going to be used for an extended peri-
od of time, contact the manufacturer’s Technical Assistance
Service to have at least the following operations performed:
−Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water circuit
−Shut down the boiler connected to the storage cylinder
as instructed in its own manual
−Switch the storage cylinder OFF at the control panel (if
tted) and at the mains power switch
−Drain the central heating circuit and domestic hot water
circuit if there is any risk of freezing.
9 This instruction manual is an integral part of the product. It
must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accompany the product,
even if it is sold to another owner or transferred to another
user or to another installation. If you lose this manual, or-
der a replacement immediately. Keep the product purchase
documents to be presented to the Rauthorised Technical
Assistance Service to request a service call under warranty.
9 Size the solar expansion tank so as to ensure complete ab-
sorption of the expansion of the uid contained within the
system, with reference to the prevailing regulations on the
matter. In particular, consider uid characteristics, consid-
erable uctuation of service temperature and vapour that
might be generated during solar collector stagnation stage.
Proper size of expansion tank ensures setting off of all vol-
ume changes of the heat transfer uid, avoiding excessive
pressure increase. Limited pressure changes avoid reach-
ing safety valve opening pressure and the consequent uid
drainage.
2 PRECAUTIONS

mands that a number of fundamental safety precautions be re-
spected. In particular:
0 Never attempt to install the system without using suitable
personal protection equipment and without following all
applicable occupational safety standards.
0 It is forbidden to touch the device while barefoot or with
wet or moist body parts.
0 It is forbidden to perform any technical or cleaning opera-
tions before having disconnected the device from its elec-
trical power supply, by setting the system's main switch to
"off".
0 It is forbidden to pull, detach, or twist the electrical cables
protruding from the device, even if it is disconnected from
its electrical power supply.
0 Do not expose the storage cylinder to the elements. It is not
designed for use outdoors.
0 If solar plant pressure decreases, it is forbidden to top up
with only water as there is a danger of freezing and over-
heating.
0 Do not use connections or safety devices or ttings (expan-
sion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not specically de-
signed and tested for use in solar water heating systems.
0 Do not allow children or inrm persons to operate the sys-
tem unsupervised.
0 Do not dispose of packaging material into the environment,
or leave it within the reach of children, since it can become
a potential hazard. Dispose of packaging material in com-
pliance with applicable legislation.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
RRBS 2S Ready-i double-coil solar heaters, with pre-tted
vertical solar station, are available in four different models, and
can be integrated in solar systems for the production of domes-
tic hot water.
The most important technical features of these solar storage cyl-
inders are:
−the accurate study of tank and coil geometry
−internal glazing, bacteriologically inert, to ensure the
max. hygiene of treated water, reduce limescale deposits
and make cleaning operations easier
−insulation made of expanded polyurethane free from CFC
(chlorouorocarbons)
−a ange for easy cleaning and maintenance of the an-
ti-corrosion magnesium anode
−solar station enclosed in a panelling, used also for solar
system washing, lling and emptying as well as for cir-
culator removal
The main components of the solar station are:
−high-efciency circulator with variable speed (already
hard-wired)
−solar regulator (already hard-wired), as indicated in par-
agraph "Safety and control devices"
−shut-off valves as non-return valves
−thermometers
−pressure gauge
−tting for connection to a solar expansion tank
−suitable safety device, as indicated in paragraph "Safety
and control devices"
4 SAFETY AND CONTROL DEVICES
Equipment safety and setting are achieved thanks to:
−Safety valve with trigger pressure set at 6 bar;
−Solar Regulator for circulator management/control. Man-
ages 9 system diagrams that can be selected. Refer to the

dues. Seal test the system after you have ushed it out.
9 The solar circuit must be immediately lled with a mixture
of water and glycol, that avoids freezing and corrosion.
18 SYSTEM FILLING COCK
Before lling the system:
−Cut power off to the solar station and to the connected
integration system, by setting the system's main switch
and the device's main switch to OFF
9 Always use a mixture of water and glycol suitable for solar
applications. Choose the mixture according to the minimum
temperature that can be reached at the installation site and
to the maximum service temperature of solar collectors. For
further information, please refer to the glycol safety data
sheet.
When using glycol not pre-mixed:
−Do NOT part ll the circuit with pure glycol then add water
later.
−Ensure that lling water characteristics comply with pre-
vailing regulations; if that is not so, lling water must be
treated. Use portable treatment systems, for instance. In
particular, when chlorine content is very high (> 50ppm)
you must use distilled water for the mixture.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
−Pump the heat transfer uid around the circuit with an
external lling pump until all air bubbles have been
eliminated. Close the manual bleed valve and any vent
valves opened previously.
−Turn handle on valve (VR) counter clockwise
−Temporarily raise the pressure in the system to 4 bar.
−Start up the system for about 20 minutes.
−Repeat air bleeding operation until system is completely
free of air bubbles.
−set the system pressure.
−Close taps (A) and (B).
9 The set pressure must ensure that the one measured at the
solar collectors is positive with respect to the ambient one
(avoid depression in the solar eld) and must be set con-
sidering both the safety valve opening pressure (6) and the
solar expansion reservoir pre-charge pressure. To set the
system pressure correctly, refer to the design manual.
0 Do not ll the system in bright, sunny conditions or if the
collectors are hot.
9 Use a manual bleed valve, which should be installed at the
highest point in the system, to ensure that all air bubbles
have been eliminated from the circuit.
19 DEVICE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
9 Service the system at least once a year and carry out the
inspections specied in the relevant manual.
The following operations must be exclusively performed by
Technical Assistance Service.
19.1 Checking the seals
After commissioning, check hydraulic tting sealing. Make
sure there is no leakage close to electric components to avoid
short-circuits.
19.2 External cleaning
Clean the outside of the storage cylinder with a soft cloth
damped in soapy water.
Use a dry rag to clean the insulation and the solar regulator dis-
play to remove any dust.
0 Do not use abrasive products, petrol or triethylene.
