Operating Activity; First Commissioning - Drazice OKCE 80 Operating And Installation Manual

2.5 OPERATING ACTIVITY

After the heater is connected to electric network, the heating element starts heating water. The element
is turned on and off by a thermostat. After reaching the temperature set, the thermostat switches off
the electric circuit and discontinues water heating. The control light signals if the element is in operation
(light is on) or if it is off (the light goes out). In case of longer operation without using the heated volume,
the thermostat has to be set to position 5°C to 8°C (set the "snowflake" symbol on the thermostat selector)
to avoid its freezing, or electricity supply to the heater has to be switched off.

2.6 FIRST COMMISSIONING

Before opening the power supply, the tank must be filled with water. The process of first heating
must be executed by licensed professional who has to check it. Both the hot water outlet pipe
and safety armature parts may be hot.
During the heating process the pressurised connection water that increases its volume due
to heating must drip off the safety valve. In non-pressurised connection water drips off
the overflow combination faucet. When heating is finished, the set temperature and the actual
temperature of consumed water should be roughly equal. After connecting the heater
to the water main and electrical power system, and after checking the safety valve (following
the instructions attached to the valve), the heater can be put into operation.
Before fist putting into service or after a longer shutdown the appliance has to be rinsed out
and flushed yet before heating is activated. Before heating starts, the tank must be completely
filled with water and the system properly flushed and vented. First heating of the tank has
to be watched.
Procedure of putting the heater into operation:
1. Check the water main and wiring. Check proper placement of operating and safety thermostat
sensors. The sensors must be inserted all the way in; first the operating and then the safety
thermostat.
2. Open the hot water valve on the combination faucet.
3. Open the cold water inlet valve to the heater.
4. As soon as the water starts running through the hot water valve, the heater is filled and the valve
can be closed.
5. In case of leakage (of flange lid), we recommend that the flange lid bolts are fastened.
6. Screw down the electric installation guard.
7. When hot service water is heated by electric energy, switch on the power supply.
8. When commencing operation, flush the heater until the cloudiness in the water is gone.
9. Make sure to fill in properly the warranty certificate.
