Filling The Condensate Siphon; Preventing Low Water Pressure - Vaillant ecoTEC exclusive 627 Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

Treating the filling and supplementary water
▶
Observe all applicable national regulations and technical
rules when treating the filling and supplementary water.
Provided the national regulations and technical rules do not
stipulate more stringent requirements, the following applies:
You must treat the heating water in the following cases
–
If the entire filling and supplementary water quantity dur-
ing the operating life of the system exceeds three times
the nominal volume of the heating installation, or
–
If the guideline values listed in the following table are not
met, or
–
If the pH value of the heating water is less than 8.2 or
more than 10.0.

1) Nominal capacity in litres/heating output; in the case of multi-
boiler systems, the smallest single heating output is to be used.
Caution.
Risk of material damage if the heating
water is treated with unsuitable additives.
Unsuitable additives may cause changes in
the components, noises in heating mode and
possibly subsequent damage.
▶
Do not use any unsuitable antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitors, biocides or sealants.
No incompatibility with our products has been detected to
date with proper use of the following additives.
▶
When using additives, follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions without exception.
We accept no liability for the compatibility of any additive or
its effectiveness in the rest of the heating system.

Filling the condensate siphon

1)
1. Remove the lower section of the condensate siphon (1).
2. Fill the lower section with water up to 10 mm below the
upper edge.
3. Secure the lower section to the condensate siphon.

Preventing low water pressure

To ensure that the heating installation operates smoothly,
the indicator on the pressure gauge must point to the upper
half of the grey area or to the middle of the bar graph display
in the display (marked by the dashed limit values) when the
heating installation is cold. This corresponds to a filling pres-
sure of between 0.1 MPa and 0.2 MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar).
If the heating installation extends over several storeys,
higher filling pressures may be required to avoid air entering
the heating installation.
If the filling pressure falls below 0.08 MPa (0.8 bar), the
product indicates low pressure by displaying a flashing
pressure value. If the filling pressure falls below 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar), the product switches off. The display shows F.22.
▶
Top up the heating water to start the product up again.
The pressure value flashes in the display until a pressure of
0.11 MPa (1.1 bar) or higher has been reached.
