USER MANUAL SW500 KOSPEL

1. Read and strictly follow this assembly and operating instructions to ensure a long life and reliable cylinder operation.
2. The manufacturer of this cylinder will not be liable for any damages due to the failure to follow the assembly and operation instructions.
3. The cylinder must not be installed in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0^ .
4. The cylinder installation and initial start-up as well as all electrical and hydraulic work must be performed by a qualified professional installer and strictly follow installation and product instructions.
5. The cylinder is designed for vertical installation only (screw on feet).
6. The cylinder must be mounted in the place and in such a way to avoid room flooding caused by leaking tank or connectors.
7. Connections with water installation, central heating and solar system pipes must be made in accordance with diagram in this assembly instruction. Failure to observe the installation instruction invalidate the warranty and may cause cylinder damage.
8. A connection with water installation must be made in accordance with the legally binding standards.
9. The cylinder is a pressure appliance designed for connection with water installation where the water pressure doesn't exceed 0,6 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 0,6 MPa the pressure reducing valve before cylinder must be fitted.
10. A small leak from the safety valve through the outlet pipe may occur, it is a normal operating state of the appliance. The outlet of the pipe has to remain opened. Do not clog it, as a clogged outlet may cause a break down of the cylinder.
11. Do not use the cylinder if you suspect that the safety valve may be faulty.
12. The storage is equipped with a magnesium anode - an additional protection against corrosion. The anode is an operating part therefore it is exposed to wear. The condition of the magnesium anode should be controlled every 12 months. The anode must be replaced once every 18 months.
13. Rated temperature of water in the cylinder should not exceed 95^ and in the case of exchangers with capacities of 250, 300, 400 i 500L - 80^

The cylinder is suitable for fitting an immersion heater with thermostat e.g. GRW 1.4, GRW 2.0. The immersion heater must be fitted in cork 112 .

A maximum length of immersion heater:

• 290mm (Cylinders of 100,120,140 litres),
• 360 mm (Cylinders of 200 litres),
• 550 mm (Cylinders of 250,300 litres),
• 600 mm (Cylinders of 400 litres),
• 670 mm (Cylinders of 500-1000 litres).

Cylinder must be fitted to the central heating system by pipe unions 1'' (1½" - 1000l). A cut-off valves must be installed before the pipe unions.

A flow rate of heating water must be high enough to maximise cylinder efficiency (see technical data table). It concerns the forced circulation installation (with a central heating water pump). SW cylinder is equipped with single coil. SB cylinder is equipped with double coil for connection to e.g. boiler and solar collector system. SWZ and SBZ cylinders are equipped with additional connectors for external heat exchanger supply.

Connection with water installation must be performed according to binding norms of hydraulic installation. The cylinder is a pressure appliance designed for connection with water installation where the water pressure doesn't exceed 0,6 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 0,6 MPa the pressure reducing valve before cylinder must be fitted. Please follow the water connection instructions below:

• install the T-connection with 6 bar* safety valve and the drain valve to the inlet fitting of cold water [ZW]. It's forbidden to install a cut-off valve (or any flow reducer) between storage and the safety valve and on it's outlet. The safety valve must be installed in that place to let you quickly see the outgoing water,

• install the cylinder equipped with the safety valve with water installation,

• install the cut-off valve on cold water supply pipe.

Hot water outlet pipe must be connected to the fitting, which is located in the upper part of the unit.

Each cylinder is equipped with fitting for domestic hot water circulation connection.

*Please note: use the safety valve matched to the heat's source. Installing a safety valve with inadequate capacity can result for excessive pressure increase in the cylinder and as a result a leakage. In this case, warranty does not cover damage caused.

Muff location for connection an external heat exchanger(SWZ and SBZ only)

Before starting the heat exchanger, an optical inspection of the device connection and the correct assembly according to the diagrams must be carried out. All connections, including those that were factory-assembled (connection nozzles of the electric heater, magnesium anode, inspection opening cover), must be checked for tightness upon startup and resealed in case of leaks. The heat exchanger must be filled with water:

• turn on the valve on cold water supply pipe,
• turn on the hot water outlet valve (water outflow without the air bubbles indicates that the storage is full),
• turn off the outlet valves.

Turn on the valves connecting cylinder with the central and the solar collector heating system.

Check for water and heating medium leaks. Check out the safety valve performance in accordance to valve manufacturer's instruction.

Cylinder emptying

Follow the guidelines below for safety cylinder emptying:

• turn off all valves connecting cylinder with the heating circuit,
• turn off the valve on cylinder cold water supply pipe,
• turn on the drain valve.

Follow the guidelines below for safety and trouble free cylinder operation:

• Check out the safety valve performance once every 14 days. Do not use the cylinder if the water does not come out (it indicates that the valve is broken).
• Clean inside of the cylinder periodically. The frequency of cleaning depend on the degree of water hardness. The cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

Tightening torque value of access hole cover [21] screws must be 18-22Nm.

• The wear condition of the anode must be inspected annually.
• The anode must be replaced once every 18 months.
• anode rod replacement [13] (100/120/140/250/300/400 litres cylinder): take off the upper lid [16], take out an insulation ring, turn off the cut-off valve on cold water supply pipe, turn on the hot water valve (mixer tap), turn the drain valve on, drain as much water as you can easily screw out the anode rod (avoiding room flooding), screw off the cork and screw out the anode rod,
• anode rod replacement [13] (200 litres cylinder): take off the lid [16], take out an insulation ring, turn off the cut-off valve on cold water supply pipe, turn on the hot water valve (mixer tap), turn the drain valve on, drain as much water as you can easily screw out the anode rod (avoiding room flooding), take off the access hole cover [21] and screw out the anode rod. Tightening torque value of access hole cover [21] screws must be 18-22Nm,
• replacing the anode [22]: in cylinders with capacities. 800 and 1000 liters in order to replace the magnesium anode 2 unfasten the zipper thermal insulation, pull away the insulation exposing the muff with the anode next to the inspection hole, close shutoff valve on cold water supply, open hot water valve on the tap, open the drain valve, drain that amount of water that would allow to change anode without causing flooding, unscrew the plug and replace anode.
• Heat up the water above 70^ periodically for hygiene reasons.
• Failures or malfunctions notify to the seller.
• Insulate the outlet pipe and heating coil connection pipes to minimise the heat loss (recommended).

Above activities are beyond of the scope of warranty service (should be done by user).
