CAREFULLY READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING THE WATER HEATER! Dear Customers! The “R” heating element series by HPA Switzerland (Switzerland) and the “SE” series of heating elements by Winkelmann GmbH, Stahl-Behalter-Technik (Germany) are manufactured and tested accordingly with the valid ÖVE or VDE safety regulations. Their installation and putting into operation may only be implemented by assembly companies, following this manual.
1 PRODUCT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION The R and SE series built-in electric flange heating units as main heaters for electric boilers are self-servicing. If calcium rich water is used, scale needs to be removed from the heating element in given time intervals. The user may set a temperature on the thermostat.
4 OPERATION PRECONDITIONS The connection of a built-in electric flange unit must follow the data on the plate (operation pressure, heating time, el. voltage). Connecting to the electrics must follow the scheme on the inside of the protective cover. Aside from the electric regulations, the conditions of local distribution and water supply plants, as well as assembly and operation conditions, must be followed.

Position of installation of elements of series: R, SE Correct Faulty Too long flange welded too high. Thermowell under the heating element. Vertical installation from the bottom Only R and SE types Correct Faulty The unit built in too high and in reversed position (the protective guard is up).
The flange rim must not exceed 130 mm, so that the temperature sensor and the element reach into the tank deep enough. Correct position of a built-in element assures even heating of the tank contents. In front of the flange, a +100 mm free space must be left for the assembly. Scale occurrence lowers functionality;...
Adequate flanges: For all types For all types R…18…( ¤180 ) SE 377, SE 378 ( ¤255 ) 8 holes 10 holes 5.3 HEATING UNIT ASSEMBLY Aside from the installation regulations, the conditions of connection resulting from local distribution and water supply plants must be followed: 1.
5.4 ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION INSTRUCTIONS Heating unit maintenance involves checking and exchanging of the anode rod that is only contained in outputs from 2.5 to 6 kW. Magnesium anode sets the electric potential inside the tank to a level that limits boiler tank corrosion. Theoretically, its lifetime is calculated to two years of operation;...
5.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Heating element assembly and its initial operation can only be implemented by an expert, who takes responsibility for proper implementation and equipment. The electrical connection must be implemented based on the attached scheme. The scheme related to a specific type is inside the plastic cover of the heating unit! The network voltage must be respected! All metal parts of the accumulator must meet relevant protective regulations.

5.7 FIRST PUTTING INTO OPERATION Before electric part connection, the accumulator must be filled with water. During the rating, water must drip off the safety valve. Warning: Both the hot water outlet pipe and safety armature parts may be hot. After heating, the set temperature of consumed water should roughly correspond with temperature shown on the thermometer.
