4 Installation
4.1 Installation conditions
• Install the unit in accordance with the local guidelines and rules.
• Install the unit on a frost-free, well-ventilated place inside the building.
• Install the unit to a flat, closed wall that can carry the weight of the unit and the water
content. Refer to section 3.2 .
• Make sure that you maintain a minimum distance around the unit, for service and
repair. Refer to section 3.7 .
• Make sure that the user interface is always easily accessible.
• Install the unit as a bypass on the main line of the installation; preferably in the main
return line (15°C – 70°C, non-condensing).

S250. We advise you to follow the VDI2035 guidelines regarding system water
quality.
• Make sure that the system is protected by a safety valve and check if the expansion
system has the proper dimensions. The water displacement in the unit can cause
pressure variations in the installation. Take into account a small extra net expansion
volume of 0.5 liters.
• In sound sensitive environments, please provide suitable sound dampers.
