2. Safety Instructions

tepeo Ltd is not responsible for the failure of components not specified in the manual

and/or supplied by other manufacturers.

2.1. Intended Use

The intended use of the ZEB

® is to provide heat to a wet central heating system. The

ZEB

® is a dry core storage boiler incorporating electric heating elements and a smart

charging algorithm. It uses live data via the internet to optimise for the lowest cost of

heating and the greenest electricity based on user-set tariff & preferences.

The regular ZEB

® can provide heating of potable water via a separate indirect water

cylinder (not supplied) or heat battery/thermal store.

Only use this product for the intended purpose described in this manual.

2.2. Clearance Requirements

CAUTION

Hot Surface

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Outer panels may get hot during normal operation

● Clearance requirements are critical to safe operation of the ZEB

. The

clearances outlined in this manual must be adhered to and maintained

for safe installation of the ZEB

● If installed in an enclosed space, ventilation must be provided.

● Combustible materials must under no circumstances be placed against

or on top of the ZEB

® or any of its ancillaries.

2.3. Mechanical Safety

CAUTION

Crushing of Feet

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Wear suitable PPE when handling the product

ZEB Installation Manual ZEB-40R_03 rev 1.0 p 7 / 40

The ZEB

® requires suitable lifting equipment and handling. The unit is heavy - do

NOT try and lift the unit or move the unit without the suitable moving and lifting

equipment. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or/and damage to the

product.

tepeo is not responsible for damage to property, personal injury and damage to the

product that has arisen from incorrect handling.

● DO NOT install the ZEB outdoors. This product is only suitable for indoor

installations.

● DO NOT tilt the product more than 30 degrees during the transportation

or installation process.

● The ZEB

® should be moved into position using appropriate lifting and

mechanical handling equipment, and should NOT be moved in a way

that knocks or jolts it.

● Install the product on a hard, solid, flat and level surface that can support

its weight.

● Care MUST be taken during all hot works (such as soldering or brazing)

to protect the paint and panels on the ZEB

● DO NOT immerse this product in water or any other liquid.

● Care should be taken not to cause damage when moving the ZEB.

2.4. Electrical Safety

DANGER

Electric Shock

Death or serious personal injury

- Switch off the power supply before starting any work

● The product must be earthed correctly and have its own independent

electrical supply (with correct voltage and circuit breakers).

● The mains isolator should be readily identifiable, accessible, visible and

adjacent to the ZEB

® installation.

● Connection must allow double-pole isolation of the electrical supply. The

means of isolation must be accessible to the end user after installation.

ZEB Installation Manual ZEB-40R_03 rev 1.0 p 8 / 40

● The dedicated electrical supply to the ZEB

® must be protected by a

Residual Current Device (Type A).

2.5. Water Safety

CAUTION

Pressurised System

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Before dismantling pipework, close isolating valve on

the flow and return to the ZEB

® and drain the system. The

water may be hot and under pressure.

● Maximum working pressure of the ZEB

® must not exceed 0.6MPa (6

bar).

● The ZEB does not have an integrated pressure relief valve. Therefore a

pressure relief valve MUST be fitted within the connected primary water

system, set to relieve at or below 0.6MPa (6 bar) unless on a vented

system.

2.6. Post-Installation Safety

● All goods are sold subject to tepeo’s ‘Terms & Conditions of Sale’, as listed

on our website at www.tepo.com/terms

● As tepeo continuously improves products, they may be modified without

notice. Updated documentation will be produced, supplied with new

product ranges and made available on request. It is the responsibility of

the installer to ensure they are using the correct instructions for the

product being installed.

● Once installed:

○ Perform all test procedures as detailed in the Commissioning section

○ Explain all safety precautions to the end user

○ Provide a copy of this manual to the end user

● It is the responsibility of the end user to supply this manual to any other

subsequent users.

2.7. Servicing and Maintenance

CAUTION

Hot Surface

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Some components get hot during normal operation.

Allow to cool and wear suitable PPE

CAUTION

Safe Handling of Materials

Minor or moderate personal injury

- Some insulating materials within the ZEB

® are delicate

and fibrous. NB this product contains bio-soluble

Alkaline-Earth Silicate (AES) wools

- Care should be taken when handling insulation to

minimise dust emissions

- Suitable PPE, including an appropriate (e.g. FFP2)

respirator, must be worn

● DO NOT attempt to carry out repairs or maintenance before the core is

below 10% State of Charge and other system components have cooled

down to ambient room temperature. To speed up the process, disable

charging in the user app (e.g. by turning on Away Mode) and set the

house thermostat to call for heat. This will reduce the core temperature as

the ZEB discharges.

● If the ZEB

® is to be re-installed in an alternative location or re-sold it must

be re-registered with tepeo.

● There are no user serviceable, adjustable, or settable parts in this product.
