Environment and Recycling GERMAN POOL is very conscious of environmental protec- tion, and this extends to its packa g ing materials. You can help the environment by carefully segregating waste. • The packaging is essential to protect the components whilst in transit. It is made from environmentally-friendly, re- usable corrugated cardboard. The plastic bags are made of re c yclable polythene (PE). • The plastic components of the appliance are marked with a material code so that they can be recycled at the end of their useful life. These valuable materials are 100 % recycla-...
The following must be observed The heater is installed as shown in the immediate vicinity of the outlet in a frost-free room. Note the fol- lowing during installation: • Observe the statutory regulations of the respective country, as well as those of the local electricity and water supply companies. • Check technical data and the information on the rat- ing plate. • Ensure that all accessories are removed from the packing materials. • Easy access to the appliance shall be guaranteed at all times. An external shut-off valve shall be installed. • Thoroughly rinse the water pipes before connection. • Optimum operation is ensured at a water flow pres- sure of 0.2 – 0.4 MPa (2 – 4 bar), see also paragraph “Adjusting the water flow“. Pressure shall not exceed 1 MPa (10 bar). • Important Note: DO NOT BREAK SEAL! Warranty voids if seal is broken! Installing the appliance • Secure the wall bracket to the wall with screws and suitable wall plugs (see fig 1). fig. 1 • Place the appliance on the wall bracket (see fig. 2). fig 2 4 GPI M5-GermanPool-EN-ZHTC-ZHSC-05-2011.indd 4...
• Pipe connection (see fig. 3): connection (inlet) hot water- Cold water inlet (blue) and hot water outlet (red) are connection marked by coloured round points on the rating plate. (outlet) Connect the colour marked tap pipes to the water inlet/outlet accordingly. Avoid any kind of mechani- cal pressure exerted on the appliance, e.g. by water fig. 3 pipes etc. Principle for installation fig. 4 Vented installation with special open outlet tap GPI-M5-O GPI-M5 Unvented installation (closed outlet) GPI-M5 5 GPI M5-GermanPool-EN-ZHTC-ZHSC-05-2011.indd 5 20.06.11 15:25...
• The installation must comply with current IEC regu- lations or national local regulations or any particular regulation specified by the local electricity supply company! • The mains cable must be permanently connected via connecting box as shown in the circuit diagram. The earth conductor must be connected. • A circuit breaker in accordance with IEC with a contact opening gap of at least 3 mm for each pole must be provided on the mains side of the connect- ing box. • If the heater is delivered with a permanently mount- ed plug on the power cable, ensure that the socket for this plug is correctly earthed and protected by a 1 Differential pressure switch (GPI-M5) fuse or circuit breaker. 2 Heating element • To protect the appliance, a fuse element must be fitted with a tripping current commensurate with 3 Safety thermal cut-out the nominal current of the appliance. Putting into service Do not switch on the electric power at this time! 1. Open the hot-water tap and allow water to flow until it emerges free of air bubbles. 2. Now close the circuit breaker. Hot water is delivered. • Explain the functions of the heater to the user and ensure that he knows how to use it.
Adjusting the water flow The temperature and the flow depend on the condi- tions at the installation site. In case of quite low or high inlet temperatures, you may reduce or increase the flow at the flow adjustment to achieve the desired hot water temperature (see fig. 7 how to adjust the screw). Careful! Don’t turn the adjustment screw further than the indent mark in order to avoid water leakage. fig. 7 Technical specifications Type GPI-M5 capacity 0.1 l system 1 MPa (10 bar) heating system IES system: bare resistance element required water resistance at 15 °C ≥ 800 Ω cm electric supply 1/N/PE 220 V ~ 240 V nom. power rating 5.2 – 6.0 kW nominal current 25 – 27.2 A req. min. cross-section 2.5 mm hot water output at ∆t = 25 K 3.3 l/min switching off @ 1.7 l/min weight filled with water approx. 1.3 kg dimensions H 13.2 x W 18.7 x D 8.0 cm...
Intended use, operation This small instantaneous water heater shall supply a single outlet and shall only be used for heating incoming water from mains supply with a specific water resistance of ≥ 800 Ω cm at 15 °C. Use for any other purpose is not permitted. When the hot water tap is open, the heater switches on automatically and heats the water as it passes through the appliance. The hot water temperature depends on the flow rate (see diagram). For this reason: • slightly close the tap for higher temperatures fig. 8 • mix with cold water for lower temperatures. Varying inlet temperatures and available pressure may affect the outlet temperature. In winter, when the incoming water is cold, the desired outlet temperature can often be achieved only by reducing the flow rate. If the flow rate or the water pressure is too low, or if the hot water tap is closed, the heater switches off automatically. For a satisfactory water output, we recommend the use of optional special jet regulator and/or hand shower. hot water output l/min 8 GPI M5-GermanPool-EN-ZHTC-ZHSC-05-2011.indd 8 20.06.11 15:25...
Purging To prevent damage to the appliance, the instantaneous water heater must be purged from air before using it for the first time. Each time it is emptied (e.g. after work on the plumbing system, if there is a risk of frost or following repair work), the appliance must be purged from air before it is used again. 1 Disconnect appliance from the mains by disactivating the fuses. 2 Next, open and close the hot water tap valve several times until no more air emerges from the pipe and all air has been eliminated from the water heater (approx. 1 minute). 3 Only then should you reconnect the power supply to the unit. Maintenance and cleaning • Clean the heater and the taps only by wiping with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. • Clean the jet regulator or the hand-shower regularly and replace as necessary. • Dirt and scale deposited in the pipes and heater will affect the function of the heater. Typical indications of this are a reduced rate of flow or noisy flow. In such cases, have the heater inspected by a technician and, if necessary, have the filter in the cold-water inlet cleaned. 9 GPI M5-GermanPool-EN-ZHTC-ZHSC-05-2011.indd 9 20.06.11 15:25...
