1- All installations have a T&P valve connection. The use of a T&P valve is mandatory.
The main safety thermostat (G1) breaks the
control circuit when the water temperature is too
high (>92°C ±3°C). The main safety thermostat
also protects the heating elements when the water
heater is activated when it is not filled with water.
The main safety thermostat (G1) probe is installed
above the middle element of the highest row. You
can use the white button on the thermostat body
to manually reset the thermostat when the water
temperature has dropped (<83°C). Make sure the
water heater is completely filled with water before
resetting the thermostat.
The row safety thermostat (G2) breaks the
circuit (L1 and L2) of each row of elements when
the temperature of the water becomes too high
(>93°C ±3°C) due to a failure in the control
circuit. You can use the red button to manually
reset the thermostat when water temperature has
dropped (<83°C).
The thermal fuse is integrated in the wiring of the
main safety thermostat (G1) and breaks the
control circuit when it detects overheat of the
element area. The thermal fuse cannot be reset.
The complete wiring, with thermal fuse, must be
replaced.
The expansion vessel temporarily stores expansion
water to keep the pressure in the installation at the
correct level.
The expansion valve prevents excessive pressure in
the tank of the water heater.
mains pressure, if necessary.
The T&P valve prevents excessive pressure and
temperature in the tank.
