Read these instructions carefully before installation and putting
into operation and save the instructions for future use.
The immersion heater may not be used by children or people
with physical or mental impairments. Nor by children/people
who lack knowledge about the boiler. Children may not play with
the boiler or connect accessories.
Correct installation in combination with correct adjustment and
continuous service will produce high operational reliability and
good heating economy.
Only authorised persons may carry out work on the immersion heater.
Switch off the operating switch before any service/repair.
Ensure the power to the immersion heater is switched off before
service/repair.
Never carry out maintenance work/service on pressure-bearing
parts when they are pressurised.
The heater must not be modied, changed or converted in any way.
Never place any combustible material on the immersion heater.
Always contact your installation engineer for service.
The type and manufacturing number of the boiler must always be
specied when contacting Värmebaronen, see the boiler's rating plate
Värmebaronen AB reserves the right to change the specication,
in accordance with its policy of continuous improvement and de-
velopment, without prior notice.
Illustrations may differ from the actual product.

Installation
1. Open the automatic control cabinet by undoing the
screws that hold the lid, 28, together and the bottom
section, 27. Undo the cables and the screws, 21, from
the immersion heater.
2. Separate the elements on the immersion heater a little
before it is screwed in.
3. Fill with water, vent and check that it is sealed.
4. Screw the bottom section tightly to the immersion heater using the
screws, 21. Before they are tightened, adjust the position of the
automatic control cabinet. Tighten the screws well and check that
the bottom section cannot slide against the head of the immersion
heater.
5. Straighten out capillary tubes to the sensors, 25 and 26, so they
are as straight as possible and insert them in the sensor tube until
they reach the bottom. The capillary tubes must be handled care-
fully. In the event of damage, the thermostat/overheating protec-
tion must be replaced.

6. Connect the cables to the immer-
sion heater. Check at the same time that
the cable lugs are firmly clamped to the
immersion heater connections.
7. Tighten the cover to the bottom section.
The capillary tubes must not be in contact with any live parts!
Before the screws to the cover are tightened fully, check that
no cables or capillary tubes are trapped between the bottom
section and cover or lying in an unsuitable position within the
automatic control cabinet!
To obtain a good electrical connection, a loosened at cable
lug must always be clamped together before it is reassembled!

Electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with
the applicable regulations, by an authorised electrical installer
or by someone who is covered by the company's self-inspection
programme!
All electrical connection must be with high-voltage insulated cable.
The immersion heater must be mounted horizontally.
Installation must be performed so the automatic control cabinet
is not exposed to damaging heat radiation e.g.blazing ames
from the door to insert wood.
The immersion heater is installed in a 2" sleeve on the boiler,
storage tank or K-060 tank.
The immersion heater is not suitable for heating water (oxygen-
ated water).
Due to galvanic corrosion, a stainless steel immersion heater
must not be installed in a copper vessel.
Alkalinity ≥ 60 mg/l to avoid corrosion.
Carbonic acid content > 25 mg/l increases the risk of corrosion.
Sulphate content > 100 mg/l may accelerate corrosion. If the
sulphate content is higher than the alkalinity, there is a risk of
copper corrosion.
Hard water causes boiler scale and is not suitable in a heating
system.
Very soft water may cause corrosion damage.
Chloride levels above 100 mg/l make the water aggressive, es-
pecially in combination with lime deposits.
Low pH values may cause corrosion damage. The pH value
should be 7.5- 8.5.
The presence of carbonic acid in combination with low pH and
hardness values makes the water aggressive.
The water must not contain sludge or other contaminants.
Operation and maintenance
After installation, check with the installation engineer that the
system is in perfect condition. Ask the installer to demonstrate the
control and functions so that you know how the system should work
and be maintained.
1. Check that the heating system has been filled with water and
vented.
2. Turn the main switch to position 1.
3. Set the desired temperature on the thermostat.
4. The immersion heater now heats until the temperature matches
the set temperature.
Check regularly that there is water in the system.
After venting, the pressure must be checked and water may need to
be added.
To maintain the safety function, the heating system's safety valves
must be operated regularly.
The immersion heater must be switched off before the system is
drained of water.
When it is extremely cold, no part of the heating system must be
switched off. Call an installer if any part is suspected of freezing.
Operation
The temperature is controlled by a thermostat with approx. 10°C
connection difference.
Overheating protection
The overheating protection is triggered when the temperature
exceeds approx. 100°C. It can be reset at the front of the automatic
control cabinet once the temperature has dropped to approx. 80°C.
There must be fairly high pressure in order to reset the protection.
Fault Possible cause of fault Action
Operation indication
light is out. No heat.
Main switch off. Turn the main switch to position 1.
The immersion heater has no
power.
Check the fuses.
The overheating protection
has been triggered.
If the overheating protection has been triggered, the operation of the system's
circulation pumps and valves must be checked. It can be reset by pressing
the button to the overheating protection when the temperature is lower than
80oC.
Group fuses for im-
mersion heater trig-
gered.
Immersion heater faulty. Turn off the main switch. Check the insulation of the immersion heater. If any
of the electric elements is faulty, replace the immersion heater.
