1 General
Depending on the type and design, WIKORA tanks are suitable for heating and / or storing DHW and / or heating water. The
heating is achieved indirectly via heat generators, if applicable, from different heat sources. The maximum working pressure
and working temperature can be found in the technical data.
Set-up, installation and commissioning must be undertaken by a qualified specialist, who must observe these instructions.
The site of installation must be frost-protected according to DIN 4753 and should be in direct proximity to the heat
generator.
When setting-up and installing the tank, the following regulations should be considered:
In addition to the technical rules in force DIN 1988, DIN 18160, DIN 4753, DIN 4109, DIN 4708, DIN 4751 section 2-4 energy
conservation law and VDE regulations are to be observed. Moreover, the relevant regulations of the suppliers as well as legal
building regulations are to be considered.
DHW requirements:
•Minimum hardness:
- 2° dh (sum of alkaline earths 0,4 mmol/l)
•Conductivity
- if external current anode is used ≥ 100 µs/cm
- if Mg-anode is used 130 µs/cm – 1500 µs/cm
•pH-value according to Drinking Water Ordinance (6,5-9,5)
Important: The exhaust pipe must be at least as big as the safety valve outlet in width. It may not have more than 2 bends and
should not be longer than 2 m. If for any compelling reasons 3 bends or a length up to 4 m are required, then the entire exhaust
line must be designed one nominal size larger. More than 3 bends, or a length exceeding 4 m is prohibited. The exhaust pipe
must be installed with downward gradient. The drain line behind the funnel must feature at least the double width of the valve
entrance. A sign is to be attached close to the exhaust pipe of the safety valve or on the safety valve itself. „For safety reasons
water may leak from the exhaust pipe during the heating process! Do not lock! "The operability of the safety valve is to be
checked at regular intervals by means of de-ventilation.
2 Transport and installation
In order to prevent damage during transport, the packaging should only be removed at the site of installation. During shipment,
it should be ensured that the tank does not come in contact with any spiky or sharp items, nor is damaged through dropping or
knocks.
During installation, the tank must be disconnected from any humidity carrying components. Moreover, sufficient space for
maintenance and cleaning purposes should be kept free in front of, beside, above and behind the tank.
Important information for the specialist:
1. If the tank is not equipped with an electric heating element, the corresponding IG 11/2“ socket must be sealed
on site with a red brass screw plug. Please remove the existing protection cap and replace it with this plug.
2. The flange cover is originally screwed with the tank. After the tank is heated up and cooled down for the first
time, the flange screws must be retightened by the installer according to the torque chart and recorded in the
installation record. The flange connection is to be checked for tightness.

5 Installation
All pipes connecting to the tank should have removable connections (fitting/flange). Pipe thread seals with teflon are
to be avoided.
All tank connecting pipes are to be planned, constructed and tested according to the technical rules in force, as well as to the
corresponding norms and regulations in accordance with their application and supply medium.
Appropriate filters should be used to prevent dirt or particles from entering the tanks. Moreover, the tank should be ensured
against pressure fluctuations and excess pressure through the installation of tested pressure reducing valves and safety
valves.
Sensors and thermostats necessary for temperature control must be securely and permanently positioned on the tank
(immersion sleeve and sensor rail).
The tank’s venting and draining facilities must have the appropriate dimensions and be correctly installed.
The installation company is responsible for the correct execution of work and for the safe and careful insulation of the pipes.
•When connecting to a solar plant, a temperature limiter is required and must be installed on site at the hot water outlet
in order to prevent scalding.

Installation of an external current anode Correx-up
Delivery:
The titanium electrode is pre-installed loosely, the
potentiostat, the connecting cables and the installation
guide are provided.
Installation:
1. Check the external current anode for tightness
2. Connecting cable
3. Insert the different blade receptacles (6,3 x 0,8 + 4,8
x 0,5 ) of the opposite cable head on the appropriate
blade terminals of the connector on the plug part.
4. Insert the plug housing in a 230 V power supply plug.
Normal cable length: 2,0 m, if necessary, reposition of
the plug closer to the tank.
5. Verify that the control lamp of the potentiostat is
green.
Please note:
Only use the original connection cable provided and do
not use an extension. If the connection cables are
reversed, a danger of corrosion exists (polarity
reversal)! If necessary, reposition the 230V plug close
to the tank.
Operation:
The external current anode starts operating only once
the tank is filled with water.
The green control lamp shows that a protective current
is supplied.
If the control lamp is not illuminated, check the
connections and contacts.
Attention !
There is no warranty claim in case of unconnected or
inaccurately connected external current anodes.

6 Commissioning
Before putting into operation, the entire system should be flushed through. Particles in the system compromise the
operating reliability.
Fill the heating system slowly with water and vent all the air.
Open the cold water stop valve and all hot water nozzles. The hot water heat exchanger is full when water leaks out
of all hot water nozzles. Then close all nozzles again.
Start-up the heating system.
Set the DHW temperature and supervise the system while heating up.
While the System is heating up, water will leak out of the safety valve.
After the tank has heated up and cooled down for the first time, the flange screws must be retightened by
means of a set torque wrench and the flange connection should be checked for tightness.

Before the handover of the system to the end user/owner, the plumbing contractor should ensure that the
system is tested to full load, controls are set and that pipe work and connections are without leaks. Afterwards,
the end user has to be instructed in the operation and handling of the tank, as well as the system. The instruction must
to be documented in the installation and maintenance record.,
Please note that the operation and lifetime of the system depend decisively on a regular maintenance.
7 Maintenance and wear parts
Regular maintenance increases the lifetime and operation reliability of the system. Decalcification at regular intervals may be
necessary in highly calcareous water areas.
1 . Close the cold water stop valve and drain the tank to check the inner tank as well as the heat exchanger. Disconnect any
electrical devices from the appliance. Then, carefully remove the insulation of the flange cover and unscrew the flange
cover. Limescale and rough residues can be crushed by a wooden bar. Only use an approved decalcifier. Screw the
flange cover hermetically after the cleaning process by using a new flange seal. Fill the tank and check all connections for
tightness. Finally, replace the insulation and, if necessary, remount the electrical devices accordingly.
A chemical decalcification can be carried out by a specialist using an approved decalcifier and taking the appropriate
precautions. Please note that the tank must be disconnected from the DHW installation (cold water / hot water /
circulation).
2. For protection purposes, the tank is equipped with a magnesium protection anode. Its transmission depends on the local
water properties. It should be examined for the first time after 2 years and afterwards annually in order to check its
transmission. The diameter should be at least 1/3 of the original diameter, the surface should be homogenous and
without any limescale crust. If necessary, it should be replaced by an original Wikora anode to protect the tank against
corrosion.
2.a. Alternatively, the tanks can be equipped with an external current anode. Please note that a protection against
corrosion is only guaranteed if the anode is energized and connected accordingly.
If the protection anode is neglected, this can cause damage through corrosion and lead to a loss of warranty.
3. The safety valve protects the tank against excess pressure. The functional capacity must be checked at regular intervals
by venting. If an expansion vessel is used, the safety valve is not, or only rarely, required. Over a longer period of time
therefore, it can become blocked and not function when needed.
4. If there is a danger of freezing, the DHW tank should be permanently heated or completely emptied.
5. A damp cloth is sufficient to clean the outer parts. Please avoid using any abrasive or solvent cleaning agents.
8 Recycling and disposal
The products are specified and manufactured according to VDI 2243. The products are mechanically separable and 100%
