RKRTW can be connected to the Rotex system. Rotex can not guarantee neither good operation nor reliability of the system if another thermostat is used. For those reasons Rotex can not give warranty of the Outdoor unit Collector (field supply) system in such case.
Rotex system is too high. For this reason a temperature reducing device (field supply) is required to lower the water temperature (the hot water will be mixed with cold water to lower the temperature).

I Install the grommets (accessories) around the knock-out First connect the flexible water piping delivered with the unit to holes to prevent damage. the field piping. Then connect the flexible water piping through the foreseen knock-out holes with the unit water system to prevent excessive bending (kink) of the flexible water piping in the process.

Close the unit It is very important to keep good visibility of the 1 Fix the top panel on the unit with the appropriate screws. manometer. The position of the manometer can be changed as shown in the figure below. Make sure that the capillary tube does not come in contact with sharp edges and prevent bending of the capillary tube as much as possible.
When loosening a flare nut, always use two wrenches together. IPING CONNECTION WORK When connecting the piping, always use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut to prevent flare nut cracking and leaks. Refrigerant piping work Piping union For all guidelines, instructions and specifications regarding refrigerant piping work between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit,...
Checking the water volume and expansion vessel Using the table and instructions below, determine if the expansion vessel pre-pressure requires adjustment and pre-pressure determine if the total water volume in the installation is below the The unit is equipped with an expansion vessel of 12 litre which has a maximum allowed water volume.
Example 1 Precautions when connecting field piping and regarding The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water insulation circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100 l. The complete water circuit, inclusive all piping, must be insulated to In this example, no action or adjustment is required.
