Start-up/commissioning 4. Check whether the supply tank is empty. a Open the lid and check. 6.1.1 Check the preload pressure of the diaphragm expansion tank The target pressure is 2.5 bar (default pressure setting). The pressure was preset at the factory. As a longer period of time might have passed between manufacturing and start-up, however, the pressure needs to be checked.
Page 36
Start-up/commissioning Adjusting the pressure ► If the pressure in the diaphragm expansion tank is too high (> 2.5 bar): d Depressurise to the target pressure of 2.5 bar. Carefully press the pin in the filling valve using a narrow object/tool. e Check the pressure again.
