6. Assembly

6.1

Installing, levelling, bolting - Ensure stability!

Set up the unit on a flat and stable (concrete) surface near the well in the operating / boiler room.
Ensure that a floor drain is available for the unit.
Use both frame holes on the base plate (Ø12) to secure the Vacumat Eco against tipping. Use sufficiently long (stainless)
steel screws Ø10 (with plugs and possibly plastic washers) for this in order to anchor them in the ground in such a way that tipping
can be prevented, but so that the screw does not transmit structure-borne noise. (Do not tighten the screw too tightly.)
Note the required minimum distances to walls, maintenance areas and assembly areas (see Appendix 1)
6.2

Connecting the pipework

Note: Only working temperatures of between 3 and 90 °C are permissible. Bear this in mind when selecting the place of installation.
Make sure that this connection is made solely with the heat generator and that there are no external hydraulic pressure influences present at
the point of entrainment (e.g. hydraulic balancers, distributors).
Pipeline diameters must be at least size DN 32 on the unit's pressure ports.
If the pipework length is more than 10 metres from the pressure ports to the return pipe, the connection pipes must be at least
DN 40. The inlet connections from the system and topping up must be at least DN 20. At least DN 25 must be used for pipelines longer than 10
m. The branch pipe connection lengths to the system must not exceed 20 m. For every 90° bend, one metre of the maximum permitted pipe
length must be deducted.
Use sealants and feed lines appropriate to the installation; however, please observe at least the maximum permitted volumetric flow, pressure
and temperature values for the pipework in question. (See appendix 1 for diagram.)
Make sure that all connections to the unit are installed so that they are without tension at the joints!
Reinforced hoses must not be subjected to tension, twisting or kinking, etc. If a reinforced hose is used on the inlet to the unit it must be
designed to be vacuum-tight!
6.3

Connecting the electrical supply

The power supply connection must be created by the customer between the mains supply and the SPC m1.
The mains supply, earthing system and cable protection must be provided in compliance with the requirements of the responsible power
supply company (PSC) and the applicable standards. The required information can be found on the type plate of the control unit and the
terminal plan (labelling; Appendix 4).
The mains connection to be provided via a suitable CEE plug / socket combination with load-switching ability or other permissible main switch.
This electrical installation work must be performed by a qualified electrically skilled personnel.
Note: install equipotential bonding between the earth connection and equipotential bonding conductor. The minimum diameter, quality and
type of the power cables must comply with the rules and regulations applicable at the installation location for this application. Electrical power
cables should be guided along cable gutters at all times.
The finished system allows the user to program the configuration and system-dependent parameters into the control unit.

7. Commissioning

7.1 Commissioning
Keep a commissioning log!
Check that the installation and assembly actions are complete (e.g. power supply available at the mains distribution board, functioning or
activated fuses and protective conductor connections, equipment is free from leaks and the stable setup of the unit).
1. After the cap valve and the ball valve on the unit have been opened, the pump automatically de-aerated, the vessel filled with
system medium, the air completely discharged from the vessel via the de-aerator unit and the system impermeability is checked,
the control unit can be switched on. First the control unit hardware status and then the software status are displayed.
2. Now start working through the Start menu. You may need to be logged on with the appropriate access code for any delegated
responsibilities. If the responsibilities are delegated to the customer / operator or preset ex works (as in most cases), you will not
need a special access code to work through the Start menu.
3. After confirming the last menu item in the Start menu: "START", the system starts fully automatic operation.
