Handling Once you have removed the outer packaging, proceed Models as follows to unpack and handle the solar storage cylin- 300 - 400 der. 500 - 1000 IDRA DS 1500: Cut the straps (1) to remove the cylinder from the pallet.The straps are located under the insula- tion at the hinges.
Fitting the insulation (IDRA DS 2000 and 3000) Once the storage cylinder is correctly positioned inside the room where it is to be installed, proceed to fit the insulation and the accessories to complete the cylinder. Proceed as follows: - Unpack all the material from the second package. - Fit the anodes (1) and (2).
Place of installation IDRA DS solar storage cylinders can be installed in any room where there is no specific requirement for an electrical protection rating higher than IP X0D. The room where the appliance is installed must, however, be dry to prevent the formation of rust. Respect the minimum specified installation distances to ensure correct installation and access for maintenance.
Water connections IDRA DS solar storage cylinders can be connected to even previously installed hot water generators provided they are of adequate output power, but care must be taken to ensure correct water flow directions. They can also be easily inte- grated in solar water heating systems based on SC-B 06 solar collectors with their corresponding fixing system, water control group, expansion vessel and thermostatic mixer valve.

Checks during and after initial start-up Once the system has been started up, perform the fol- lowing checks: - Check that the flow rate in the solar heating circuit is equivalent to 30 l/h for each m of collector area. - Check that the solar heating circuit has been properly bled.
Preparing for extended periods of disuse If the solar storage cylinder is not going to be used for an extended period of time, perform the following ope- rations: - Drain the solar water circuit. - Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water circuit.
NOTE: Tighten the anode plug to a torque of 25-30 Nxm. Cleaning inside the storage cylinder For models IDRA DS 300 - 400 - 500: - Unscrew the four screws (4) and remove the cover (5)

- Remove the flange cover (6) For ALL models: - Unscrew the nuts (7) securing the flange (8) and remo- ve the flange complete with its seal. - Clean inside the cylinder and remove any residues through the access hole. Once cleaned, refit all components, following the above steps in the reverse order.
