Maintenance

Safety valve (not supplied)

The water heater's safety valve sometimes releases a

little water after hot water usage. This is because the

cold water, which enters the water heater, expands when

heated causing the pressure to rise and the safety valve

to open.

The function of the safety valves must be regularly

checked, about four times a year, to prevent clogging.

To inspect the valve, open the safety valve manually and

check that water flows through the overflow pipe. If this

does not happen then the safety valve is defective and

must be replaced.

Emptying

Draining is performed through the siphon (using hose)

in the docking connection, return to heat pump (XL9).

VPB/VPBSChapter 2 | For the User6

2 For the User

General

VPB/VPBS is a series water heater, which is suitable for

connection to an external heat source.

The water tank has internal copper, stainless steel or

enamel corrosion protection. The water heater is

equipped with a charge coil that heats the domestic

water, resulting in excellent properties for hot water

charging.

VPBS 300 can be docked to thermal solar panels.

The water heater is designed and manufactured for a

maximum cut-off pressure of 10 bar in the water heater

and 3 bar on the primary side. Maximum permitted

temperature is 85 °C.

VPBS 300 is equipped with a copper finned tube for

connection of up to 6 m² of thermal solar panels.

The insulation is Neopor, which provides excellent heat

insulation. The outer shell of VPB/VPBS is powder-coated,

white steel.

VPB/VPBS is equipped with a submerged tube for the

sensors for external control and display of hot water

heating.

VPBS 300 can be supplemented with a third sensor for

solar control.

Transport

VPB/VPBS should be transported and stored vertically in

a dry place. The VPB/VPBS may, however, be carefully

laid on its back when being moved into a building.

The water heater’s installation area should always have

a temperature of at least 10 °C (frost-free).

Position VPB/VPBS on a firm base that can take the

weight, preferably on a concrete floor or foundation.

Use the product's adjustable feet to obtain a horizontal

and stable set-up.
